Body "art"

[Rin Little]

I love bod mods and have plenty of my own, both piercings and tattoos (I'm very sad that I don't have my lip pierced anymore :[). I've considered scarification and branding but I doubt I'd ever do it. Even so I've seen some pretty badass designs for both. Same goes with the tongue-splitting, looks awesome, but I definitely don't have to guts to do it myself. The only one that makes me fully cringe is the whole corset piercing idea, not entirely sure why, but just *shiver* it looks awesome but still...

It depends.

With Tattoos, I personally think... Keep them simple. Small things, recognizable and disguisable. Because no matter how cool or intricate a design is, nine times out of ten it just looks like a big smudge on your forearm. They can occasionally look sweet though.

Piercings, sure, they can be okay. Overdoing it, again, looks lame, I think. Minimalism helps.

Let me state my opinion on each:

Piercings - no
Tattoos - if used in moderation

Tongue splitting
Flesh carving
Lip discing

All three, absolutely no.

I'm a guy who likes naturals. Women without makeups and little jewelry are amazing.

I don't care if people have piercings or tattoos. To each their own. but if they are an asshole it is not because of how they look.
The only problem is if they meet my dad. He is very conservative and uptight with any type of piercing or tattoo no matter in what taste it is in.Which is very annoying because a quarter of my friends do have visable tattoos and are fantastic good people to be with but he won't be able to look beyond that.
I do have plans to get at least one tattoo and it will be this:

Spoiler

It is to always tell me that deep down I will always be Canadian and to sort of honour my family. I know full fact that my dad will despise it right off the bat. so once I leave home HA ZA!

That would be absolutely awesome tattoo, do it do it DO IT ;-D

See I happen to think that is in a way rather beautiful and as for the penis piercing I have one, not as intrusive or painful as you might think and at the end of the day it will close up if removed!.

Out of interest what exactly are the benefits of a penis piercing (assuming you aren't joking)? Surely only a select few people will ever see it and doesn't it get in the way while you're doing the act itself?

OT: Tattoos can look good if they're not generic, I haven't got any myself and probably never will as they wouldn't suit my look plus I don't know if I could decide on a design I'd be happy with. Piercings depend on where they are but are generally okay, the other stuff though does seem kinda weird although people have the right to do whatever they want to their bodies.

Why thank you! I will do it but it won't be for another two years.

I have plenty of tattoos and i'm all for them but I seriously hate the argument "they are going to look crap when your skin is all saggy" yeah that might be the case but i'm sure as hell not going to look attractive anymore when my skin starts sagging anyway so I dont see the issue haha, you're not going to look good when you get old so it's silly to have that mindset

I don't care what other people do to their body. Sometimes it looks really good, and I appreciate it. But people have different aesthetic tastes than I do, and I accept this.
The one thing I HATE about this topic is the whole "You'll look great as long as your skin doesn't age!" shit. You know what? If someone has a tattoo, they either thought of that, or don't care. I can't stand people being obnoxious about what people want to do to their own body.
