I don’t need to admit it, because it would be like confessing it. Instead I’ll state it: I find this man handsome WITH his tattoos - and not despite them.
Art can have several goals, one of them being sometimes to make one uncomfortable to make them think beyond the subject itself.

no, sorry, too much ink!
I think there are simply too many statements to discern any intent. Perhaps that is its (the art's) intent. Are the tats representative of the the person? Literal heart on his sleeve?
I honestly don't know what to think.
WAY too much for me. Particularly when they begin to cover the face in ink. It always makes me wonder why they are so ashamed of themselves that they have this need to cover themselves in tattoos.
Where to begin. Putting the psychology of art aside, and the subject's personal psychology(low self-esteem) aside, there is a guiding principle in art and design that states "less is more." Personally I believe that to be true in most circumstances. The exceptions being drag queens and christmas decorations, where more is decidedly better. If art's goal is to make the viewer uncomfortable and think beyond the subject, then this man succeeds. The beauty of the desert is in its simplicity, just sand and sculptured dunes. Plant three trillion trees(even if they would grow) and the desert disappears. You only see the forest. I fail to see the beauty of this man, however wonderful he may be, with all that inked interference hiding him. IMHO
To paraphrase Hawkeye Pierce from M*A*S*H. tattoos is cheap art for those who can't afford a Rembrandt.
Except for the tats on his face, I don't mind the others.
@Anon: LoL! It only means that this Hawkeye Pierce guy didn't have the money to ask Andy Warhol to tattoo him some piece of Art". As usual everything is quite relative when it comes to Art :-)
As we here say too: la beauté est dans l'oeil de celui qui regarde.
I agree with you! Wonderful
It is that it is very attractive, but it would be more without them
why do they think this looks good and who told them it did!
