I don't think just two sleeves worth is heavily tattooed. Because what if the rest of their body isn't tattooed? It's kind of misleading when someone just has sleeves and nothing else lol.

I also get the idea of heavily tattooed as being something more like body suits, or partial ones...but i find it quite , well, odd, when kids go and get their throat tattooed when they have no other tattoos...because places like hands and throat have a bit more of a 'heavy'(for want of a better word) vibe thing going on for me.... |

I'd say 20% coverage, ish. Heavily tattooed doesn't mean heavily modified in my opinion though.. It's like someone who's heavily pierced, they're modified, but until you branch into multiple forms of modification, it's hard for me to call someone heavily modified. I don't consider myself as such. I consider myself heavy IN TO modification, but that's a distinction of interest.

People on the streets that look at me would consider me "heavily tattooed" and "heavily modified" but that's because they are dumb and ignorant.
Yes most of my tattoos and piercings are very visible but I do not consider myself anywhere close to heavily modified. YET !! |

50%+ tattoo coverage would be heavily tattooed in my opinion

I don't think I will ever reach that level. I plan to have my arms and legs covered, a full back piece, most of my chest and maybe the tops of my feet, so around 70 - 80% skin coverage. I work in a pretty conservative sector (museums) so any mods visible when I wear a shirt are not to my advantage.

I agree totally. They are different things. Although maybe 95 or 100% tattoo coverage may also count as heavily modified because it would be hard to argue that someone that tattooed had not modified their appearance to a large extent.

True story. I can't argue that at all. =D I just think someone could easily be considered "heavily tattooed" and yet not considered "heavily modified"... which is odd, since it is obviously modifying them.. just an odd mindset perhaps. |
