The TV presenter would love to cover her body with permanent etchings as she enjoys the pain it brings, but is worried it would harm her career.
She said: "Seriously, if I wasn't on TV I'd have tattoos all over my whole body. I would go mental. Because I'm addicted to tattoos. I love the look, the process, the feeling of, 'Yes! I didn't pass out, I've just achieved something.' I have more than 11 now. Not that my mother knows."
Fearne also revealed she got another tattoo while she was in the US recently.
The 26-year-old star added to Britain's Glamour magazine: "I got a new one in Los Angeles, it covers most of my back at the bottom and it's a 50s pin-up mermaid, lovely boobs, beautiful. I love Amy Winehouse's tattoos but I can't do arms. I can't do 'Children In Need' with a naked chick on my arm, can I?"
Although she is wary of her image when she is on TV, Fearne refuses to change her sense of style.
She said: "People have tried to pressure me over the years to look more conservative. But this is how I dress. I've always been quite strong in the sense that I believe in who I am. Obviously you want to appeal to a mass audience and not scare people off, but I don't think it's a scary prospect, I just like quirky clothing!"
