Body Art

It a choice for every individual to get into this kind of art. Art is a medium to express of what they desire or even feel. If I had the chance, I can put all the names of those who are close to me into my skin.

I agree totally with you. I believe that this is a form of self expression. There is nothing wrong in being unique and different. I would not think the spikes are safe though. I think that is kind of a bit extreme for me. Tattoos are kind of nice. But I think my parents would not approve. Even though I do not have body art, I am still a ll for it and I respect people who are daring enough to get one.

It is something that I wouldn't do myself but I have no problem with people who like them. My boyfriend just got a tattoo two weeks ago and he's planning to get more. I didn't try to talk him out of it or anything, I just expressed my concerns about hygiene and disease and I was assured new needles were being used so that was that. I did ask him why he wanted a tattoo and he didn't have any reason, he just liked it. I haven't seen anyone who's had extreme body modifications except on TV, but if I did see one I guess I'd still stare no matter how hard I try not to. It's just that what is different is often perceived to be strange, bad or crazy. Especially the older generations---I was raised in a household that believes body modification is a sin. But maybe that's the very reason why I started believing that I should be tolerant of what people want. Now, when I get older and have kids and my kids want to get such procedures, I don't know how I'm going to feel but I will probably oppose the idea.

I got my first tattoo when I was 17. Got my boyfriends name put on my left arm. We gave each other tattoo's with Indian ink and a needle. A couple of years later, I had my nickname put on my right arm. Then I went and got a "tramp stamp" on my back. Got a name on my ummmmm....heart, and an ankle bracelet tattoo on my ankle. I'm 49 years old and I would luv a few more. I don't think an age should make a difference. I betcha once ya get your first tattoo HellsButcher, you're gonna want more and more!

I think most of that stuff is rather bizarre. I've seen those shows too. They are interesting in a horrid kind of way. I like certain tattoos on people, when they are beautifully colored and not taking over the body. I hate to see them when they are ugly and all over the arms to the point that you can't see their skin. I wouldn't mind having a butterfly 'bracelet' made around my wrist, but I would not actually ever get one done.

hi there! hmm.. i would not go for any body modifications. like tattoo? no, i can't imagine myself wearing those things in my entire life. even ear piercing. i already have my pair and i am not planning to have any other. that would look unfeminine and unhygienic although there are women who look good with that. still i am not persuaded by that.

I think it makes the world more interesting. personally I'm not into piercings. they suit some people, but I hardly even wear earrings, so it's not really for me. tattoos and waist training for me. I really like to see some of the more unusual body mods too. the world would be quite boring if we were all the same.

Honestly I think people should be able to do what they want to their own bodies if that is what they choose. I have 8 tattoos, and I love them! Each one has a story/memory behind it and my most precious one is the one that I got symbolizing my daughters. It has their names under it as well. Those are the ONLY 2 names that I will EVER have on my body though!

I like body art too, and I have tatoos myself, from some designs I did myself, I just, would take care on doing something too radical, though, the definition of this varies from person to person, is important to understand that people and times changes, and people grow up too, and something that might seems too cool today, may don´t look as a good idea in a few years ahead, when applying to a job, or meeting the girlfriends parents. As long as it makes you happy, go for it, my advise is, be aware that this decision, will go with you for a long long time, so, think well.

some people just look good with these body modifications. some look like they're crooks who had just come out of prison. i see them for some as art and i see them as aggravation for some. i admire people who have the guts but unfortunately i do not have guts to have my body tattooed or pierced. i say, too much of everything is not good so a little tiny pierce is okay especially if it's nicely located. or a tattoo that is cute and not all over the body.

Body art is not for everyone. There are some people who will abuse it. Body art is one way for people to be creative and express themselves.

I currently have four tattoos and I just had my monroe taken out a few days ago because we lost power and I lost the ball to the barbell. :( I was so disappointed about that. I love body mods. I really only date men with tattoos. I think they're really sexy. I don't know if I could date a man with less tattoos than me. As for piercings, I've had just about everything done when I was younger. I had my lip, snakebites, labret, monroe, belly button, nose, and my eyebrow. I definitely want more tattoos, but I feel like I grew out of piercings.

I have 6 tattoos and love them. They all mean something special to me. I will never get spikes implanted, but as long as people can get them removed, then why not. If that is what they want and can live with themselves having them.

I personally would not like to any modifications done in my body. I am contented with what I have and happy not to have any spikes, tattoos, piercings, surgeries just for fashion or art as some people may have call it. Although I don't find it bad either if my friends are into such arts.

I love body art modification. I think that everyone can do what he wants of his body. Some body modification seems excessive but however I respect the idea of body modification. I also see like you body modification like art even if many people have a different idea.
