Body Modification: Fad, Trend, or Here To Stay?

What do you think? Are body modifications here to stay? Or will their popularity begin to fade away? Consider tanning, hair dye, and plastic surgery as a body modification.


Body Modification: Fad, Trend, or Here To Stay?

Body Modifications

Let's break the theme a little bit. Time for a little rant or whatever you will call it.

Basically, I was thinking about this yesterday. I had my bottom belly button repierced. It looks great. You can see it HERE.

And, on the way home, I was thinking about it. I mean why do I put myself through the pain of a new piercing or tattoo? I mean honestly, piercings can be taken out, close up, and repierced. Tattoos are relatively permanent. But, that's all beside the point.

I'm not an ugly person. So, why do I keep getting holes put in me?

Well, I think it's because the pain brings me back. It opens up my mind, body, and soul, a little bit. Brings something new to the mundane. Adds to the body.

In a way, I see the human body as a canvase that can be decorated at will, but of course that is not always the case.

I dunno... What do you think?

Food for thought....

Wing Tattoo Designs

Wing Tattoos are popular among different people. You church-goer may have a set of traditional feathered wings while your Joe Blow on the street may have a set of tribal wings.

Tattooed wings can represent different things to different people. You may see a tattooed set of wings and see protection under the wing of God or the archangels, whereas someone else may see mysticism and magic.

Wings can be small or large, depending on your personal tastes. They can be on you thigh, calf, shoulder, arm, nape, or back. Most wing tattoos are on the back, as to wear them like the angels.

Scarification

Scarification is a more hardcore body modification of today's society. When scarification was introduced to tribes, it was more of the norm. Many warriors had facial and body scars and brands. Today, many people look down upon the body modification. Asking the person, "What's wrong with you?!" But, in reality, it's just a different form of body modification that is not as well known as the tattoo.

It's bes to get a scarification from and experienced person, versus a do it yourself job. You can encounter so many problems when scaring yourself with a needle, box cutter, etc. If you do not know what you're doing, one wrong cut can be detrimental. Infection can take a serious tole on the body. So, remember that, if you decide upon a new scar. Find a reputable person at a tattoo shop to perform the task for you.
