Tattoos and Body Modification



The lecture on tattoos and body modification really shocked me. I dont have any problem with people modifying their bodies in anyway as i have piercings myself and would really like to get a tattoo done, but seeing what some people had got done seemed a bit too much.






I do think piercings and tattoos look really nice, but at the same time i do think some people can take it a bit over the top. For example when people cover themselves head to foot in them like i the photo below. I really dont think it looks good at all when people do this but everyone has their own opinion and a choice to do what they want with their own bodies.


People choose to modify their bodies for many reasons such as for simple reasons like wanting it done it done because they like it and how they will look on them or even religous reasons.


Another reason why people choose to be modify their bodies is to be different from others. Some people may choose to take this further than others. For example the man in the picture above to the right had surgery and modified his body so that he looked like a cat. My opinion is that its taking a bit too far and doesnt look right, but like I said everyone has different opinions.
