Ink poisoning? I wonder where this faux term came from. No offense intended, but "ink poisoning" is about as legitimate as "radioactive toothpaste".
Infection is irrelevant of time spent getting inked.
My bigger concern would be exhaustion, both for me and the artist. I can go about 3-4 hours in a session, but beyond that it's a bit much. I admit I haven't tried anything past that length, but despite statements to the contrary I'm not in that big of a hurry. The ink will come, and I'll just practice patience in the meantime.
Addendum: It's a matter of time in the chair and square inches, and not so much individual tattoos. If I wanted to be technical about it, i got four & a half (five?) tattoos at my last session. Finished up the dragon-koi, did the boulder in the falls, two lotus' and one other bit of greenery. Each was small individually, but it added up to about 3 hours of work.

Good grief - ink poisoning. Never heard before that that would happen when getting a large tattoo. My last sitting was 3 hours. No ink poisoning or feeling sick. Just very tiring and sore the next day. When you are in a position for that length of time and having an area done that is quite painful, you will realize the next day just how tense you were. Yes the tattoo was sore, but my muscles were sore as well.
Usually most people get one done at a time because what gets hurt most is the pocket book :) Good luck!

It's fine, as long as you can deal with it. There isn't any difference between getting two or three small tattoos and sitting for a full day working on a sleeve or back piece. I've sat for 7 1/2 hours once, and I know people who've gone longer. The only issue is that you have more broken skin, and more area to take care of afterwards.
As for the 'ink poisoning' the one girl described, it was almost defiantly a reaction to the adrenaline.

Nothing wrong in it if you can handle it. I was getting 3 to 4 hours done for 7 weeks and the last 2 weeks of it i started to feel sick , so I asked my tattoo artist about it and he said that i might be getting to much done and i'm not giving my body time to heal. So I have cut back on the amount of time I get Tattooed and I feel a lot better after now.

I think the only problem with getting multiple tattoos at once would be the healing process. You'd be itchy and sore in more than one place, and you'd have to clean more than one place, and sleeping may be really uncomfortable, depending on what body part you're getting tattoed. Your chances for infection may be higher, but only because there are two open "wounds" or more, instead of just one. If you cared for them all properly, then no, I don't see why there would be a problem.

One issue to bear in mind if you're planning on getting several tattoos in completely different locations on your body is that the healing might be a bit of a pain in the neck... (and arm... and back... and leg...) What I mean is, while a tattoo is healing, it can be a bit sore and uncomfortable for a few days, and then it can itch irritatingly, and you just generally have to be a bit careful of it. If you have several tattoos done at the same time, that means several different spots of your body where these factors apply. It wouldn't do you any harm, but it might make the healing process a bit tedious.
Hope this helps!

technically there is nothing wrong with it other than the tattoo artist might not have the time to do more than a couple hours in one sitting. I think that infection wise, so long as it is a reputable place, and you take care of the area effected, you will be fine

No none of that is possible...but what you could be risking is diminished quality of work. The more fatigued an artist becomes (from bending over you and focusing and holding the tattoo gun) the more likely they will be to shake or loose concentration. Tattooing is tiring work. So ask your artist what they would be comfortable with, your going to have it forever...getting them done over a little more time might just be worth it.

no, nothing wrong with it. If its in the same spot like a huge tattoo with alot of detail and color, they break up the sitting so your body doesnt go into shock (from the pain) if its like 2-3 small/medium tattoos it shouldnt be a problem

I wouldn't personally, just because ink poisoning can occur. Most people will get slight ink poisoning from a larger tattoo and I think subjecting your body to that much of a foreign substance at one time will not be fun.
Of course the nausea only last for the rest of that day, so if you can handle it then go for it.
