A WOMAN whose tattoo addiction has got her dumped multiple times said she has no plants to quit now.
Savannah Haskay, from Utah, has spent over £12,000 on tattoos over the years and eventually wants to be almost entirely covered in them.
The 27-year-old told she doesn't think her addiction is a bad thing and she still looks forward to each new inking.
After getting her first tattoo, an anatomical human heart on her hip, when she was 15, her dad encouraged her love of ink and made sure she went to the best artists.
Now, Savannah has tonnes of tattoos, including a blacked-out forearm, a wire fence on her neck, a rose on her chest and a heart under her eye.
Her bold look isn't always loved by her friends and family, who have told her to slow down or to avoid more visible tattoos before.
