They say that once you get one tattoo, it won't be long before you're craving more.
Miley Cyrus would seem to be particularly well acquainted with that adage, after a recent appearance on Kimmel made it clear that the superstar 'Wrecking Ball' singer did not know how many tattoos she has on her body.
In fairness, when money is no object and you've presumably got direct access to some of the best tattoo artists in the world, these things can presumably accumulate pretty quickly.

Anyway, during a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Miley was playing a game of Miley Cyrus-based trivia with a superfan when she was asked how many tattoos she has on her body.
The fan incorrectly guessed the number to be 27, before Miley herself admitted "I have no idea."
"How do we know this and you don't?" Kimmel responded.

"Because you, probably, are much more coherent when I am getting these tattoos than I am," Miley reasoned.
Kimmel then revealed that the 'Slide Away' singer actually has 74 tattoos, which seemingly left her flabbergasted.
"Huh?" she exclaimed, looking stunned.
Meanwhile, in a separate interview Miley Cyrus spoke about the "trauma" she experienced from being sexualized in the media since she was 16 years old.
During an interview with Rolling Stone, Cyrus opened up about the "long-term" impact the scrutiny on her body has had on her.
"I think I knew who I was meant to be, but I'm sure there's something in there. Some trauma of feeling so criticized, I think, for what I felt was pretty average teenage, early [twenties] exploration," she said.

However, the star then added that she believes there has been "big progress" in media coverage, "especially towards women and bodies".
The 'Best of Both World' star added: "I don’t even know if you really can slut-shame now. Is that even a thing? The media hasn’t really slut-shamed me in a long time."
Nonetheless, Cyrus did recall a time when she was sexualized at just 16 years old.
"I was like, 'Yo, when I'm 16 and you’re circling my boobs and s**t like that... I'm the bad guy?' I think people are starting to go, 'Wait, wait, wait. That was f***ed up.'
"They’re starting to know who the enemy and who the victim was there," she added.
