Do you put stickers on your mbp?

I assure you, you’re far from the only one who does that, haha. It’s understandable that people are into personalizing their gear, MacBooks included. I’m sure some others might share theirs here as well. Personally, I just prefer a clean looking device. When it comes time to resell, there’s no worrying about the potential for glue and bits from stickers to remain behind and try to clean them off.
I did. When I later gave the MBP back to my work and removed all sticker’s, the space gray anodizing was discolored under every one of them.
Same. Never have and never will. Just personal preference for me.
Similar story.... Those stickers reminded me of a customer from about 20 years ago.
A man brought an iBook for service (the old white ones, remember?), which had scribbles all over the case, looked like permanent marker.
I asked him if he wanted me to clean up the case, (there's some cleaning products that might do a good job with markers.)

I quickly decided that I liked his thinking...!
Never have till my M1 MBP this year. Wife added some to her laptop, and so I added to mine. I regret it as I prefer a clean device but ... both my wife and I have a ton of bird/nature stickers on the back of our MBPs. I am not a fan.
Edit:
Well that's going to need a LOT of Goo Gone. Don't do it unless you're committed !
Well ****. Space Grey here (though a personal MBP). Guess I'm removing them. lol.

Never have. Although every once in a while I'm tempted to get a rainbow Apple logo to go over the plain Apple logo on my Macbook Pro. I don't know why I fixate on that rainbow logo. Maybe it's just reminiscing about simpler times.
Try:
Turtle Wax Label & Sticker remover.
That works pretty well for me.

Not a MBP but I went with stickers on my 2020 i5/8/512 Air. A shelf fell off the wall and dented the lid about 2 months after I bought it. I was so pissed. I decided to cover with a DBrand and a sticker to hide it and then I just added more because I liked the way it looked. I also bought a InCase hard-shell after the incident and also love that too. I bought a M1 Air for the house Air needs, so this is just my traveling Mac now and use it at work on downtime.
Not on my Mac but I did put one of the Apple stickers on my work Lenovo. It was still on there when I retired.
1) Apply a piece of car wrap vinyl (a wrap place will usually be happy to part with a piece of scrap the size of your laptop) to the case.
2) Put stickers on that.
when removed, there won’t be any stuck adhesive, and if the anodization fades, it will be uniform.
And you can then either frame the whole thing, or reuse the stickers you like on another piece of vinyl.

That picture is very upsetting. I hope you can get it all removed.
The bottom of the machine gets hot when charging. If there's a sticker stuck to the bottom it will bake on permanently and be almost impossible to remove. I've experienced this first hand. My sticker is on there for good.
No I don’t put stickers on my MacBook, but there’s a LOT of people that do. I deal with a lot of recycled MacBooks and the most I counted was like 85 stickers on one. I had to remove them all and clean the residue off. Mohawk Wax Wash Remover is good stuff for that.
No stickers for me. My machine looks as it was designed by its creator. I feel the same way about my body. No tats.
I attached my business card to the middle of the bottom case. When I travel for business (a rarity these days) and go through security, I put my Macbook in the x-ray basket upside down (so it hides the Apple logo), and when it comes out, it is instantly recognizable as mine because of the colored logo on my card.
Not mutually related. Tattoos are something that are almost semi permanent, where a sticker can be removed within a second for the most part. I get what you’re saying, but it’s totally two different aspects when you’re _engraving_ ink on your body versus a sticker on the external lid of a MacBook.
When I was traveling extensively (years ago), I always had stickers on my computer to easily identify it while going through security. I could also more easily spot it from a distance if taken; which it never was.
