irritate

Explanation:
Presumably, too many tattoos and piercings are perceived as negative for the body of the person deciding to have them done, so "let's not irritare it".

overdo things

Explanation:
"Everyone is free to do as they like with their own body, but let's not overdo things."

Not as close a translation as Angela's, perhaps, as this is closer to "non esageriamo" - but perhaps it's a better equivalent all the same.

Only use this if your context justifies it - otherwise, I\'m with Angela.
