"10lbs of 'stuff' in a 5lb bag" or a "trailmix tattoo" is when a client wants multiple themes incorporated into a tattoo taking up very limited amounts of real estate on their body. The kind of person who wants a tree, with leaves and roots and maybe a tire swing and some kids playing under it with a pair of initials carved in the trunk with a heart and a sunset and the anniversary date of some kind with a long poem that is hidden somehow in all the leaves and bunch of other important dates all hidden in the roots of the tree. Oh, music notes, cause they once took piano lessons when they where nine and they like to paint too! maybe a paintbrush and pallet in there?

In short something that should take up the back half of a body suit that the client expects to fit on a shoulder blade cause they dont want too much tattoo...
