Body Modification

'By that reasoning what does make up count as?"

You assume that all females wear makeup or need to wear makeup. I don't use it. At all.

 

[Ildecia]

not a problem with either, man or woman.

its their choice so why not?

because when my mom finally caves in, i want to get human transmutation circle tattoo's on my palms.

 

[jrubal1462]

I like them on other people, I think mostly they look pretty cool...but it's just not for me.

tatoos: fine on both girls and guys, so long as it's nothing retarded (face tatoo, excessive sleeve, excessive chest, something really stupid like a boyfriend/girlfriend's name, etc.)

piercings: only the ears. i have no problem with the PEOPLE that may have nose or tounge rings, that varies. but I hate rediculous piercings in general. also, on guys, even just the ears... looks kinda ghey... (I know a guy with an ear stud. one of the nicest guys I ever met. just saying, I dislike the JEWELERY, not the PERSON)

that crazy ass hipster/scene/emo/goth/Hot Topic/retard bs: fuck it all. we dont need to see through your now 3" earlobe to get that you think you're "different"...

 

[Jroo wuz heer]

Hate lip piercings. Hate hate haaaaaate.
Nothing against tattoos though. Oh, and the whole stretch ear thing, that's WEIRD.

I don't mind little stretched ears, but those big huge ones are scary! My friend's are about 30mm, he wonders why he hasn't been able to get a decent job since leaving Uni.

Ahh, I have 4 lip piercings -sob-

30mm=3cm, learn your metrics
OT:anything except earrings is kinda off-putting for me

 

[ComicsAreWeird]

I´m not into it. I can admire some tatoos if they´re well designed though.

I'm fine with piercings on girls. My ex had 18. Snakebites, 9 and 6 in her ears respectively, and belly button. And she had a tattoo on her shoulder. My mom has two tattoos herself.

I almost got a tattoo once. I was going to get "A Man Chooses, A Slave Obeys" On my forearm.

 

[amadhatter]

My dog and I have matching tattoos, thank you very much.

Err.... no actually that assumption is nowhere in that sentence- at most Im assuming that some women wear make up; which is a pretty safe bet.

Tattoos can work well if you've put some decent thought into them; something that somewhat reflects on you as a person but also has a story to back it up, or something or someone who helped change you (hence why you get all the 'Mother heart' tattoos), I would go with a small bar of Fight Club soap.

For piercings, that's more or a fashion thing, something to really show to the world (granted if it's on your face); small ones (e.g. buds) show a non-showy character, large ones give the almost attention-seeker or even the one who does isn't fussed about it all. After all, "Self Improvement is Maturbation, now Self Destruction...".

Anyway, those are my thoughts from what I've seen in friends and strangers, I'm fine either way, but the ones that do get me are the Huge ear-stretching plugs; they just seem a bit 'primitive-tribe'/ 'jeapordising-future-career-plan' to me, but again, could be a whole bohemian thing to another eye. "One man's trash is another man's treasure" (or my preferrence: "One man's terrorist is another man's Freedom-Fighter")

I think some tattoos and piercings are dumb. When people starts looking more like a lizard than a human, it's going to far.

I do have a big skull wearing headphones on my leg though, so who am I to talk.

 

[Dystopia]

I'm a girl and I have a few tattoos and a fair few piercings. My nose ring is my pride and joy.

Thoughts on genital piercings, guys? (On men AND women.)

 

[Krakyn]

It's because women are beautiful by nature, men are intimidating. In my opinion, the natural beauty of a woman doesn't need to be augmented or covered. I assume that's how the other people feel too.

I hate to say this. What if a woman doesn't have natural beauty? Should she cover that?

I find something beautiful about most women, and even if you or I don't find a woman's natural features beautiful, somebody does.

I have very little problem with tattoos and piercings in certain environments (e.g. rock clubs/gigs) but outside of that anything much larger then a nose ring is just plain distasteful.

And yes alot of the double standards with it seems to come from old gender stereotypes and the fact that alot of body mods make the wearer appear rather intimidating- which whilst Im ashamed to say I agree to a certain extent I also recognize how ridiculous it is

It's because women are beautiful by nature, men are intimidating. In my opinion, the natural beauty of a woman doesn't need to be augmented or covered. I assume that's how the other people feel too.

By that reasoning what does make up count as?

I tend to not like make-up. It could be either an augmentation or a veil.

 

[captaincabbage]

I'm not a fan of piercings. I don't know why, they just don't sit well with me. I do like tattoos tho, and I'd have to, since I have one.

 

[knumpify]

I hate all this "proper job" stuff that goes with it. i've got the whole left side of my back done, i've got my left forearm done, and I've got stretched cartilage (10 gua., 6 gua.), and i've stretched my lobe to half an inch. Oh, and i'm a chef. Formally trained and working proper hours. If people are going to judge you on looks, call them out on it. You can get by doing what you want to your body.

 

[Wilko316]

I consider it body art, harmless really unless you're allergic or whatever.

 

[Irridium]

Piercings - Eh, not so hot on those. Doesn't bother me much if its the ears, but anywhere else just seems weird to me.

Tattoo's, so long as your body isn't completely covered by tattoo's I don't mind. I probably wouldn't get a tattoo, but I don't mind if others do. Again, so long as it doesn't cover the entire body/face.

 

[Fuselage]

What, Body Modification like this?

OT: I don't really have a problem, It just is not my thing.

 

[Vault Citizen]

Your opinions?

Just your regular piercings and tattoo's.
Personally, I love them! I have quite a number of piercings and 5 tattoo's so far. (One of which is to do with Portal, I dunno if this is good or bad?!)

I thought about getting a portal tattoo once, the basic idea being a ninja coming out of a portal (coloured like a portal from the game) doing a flying kick

So far I have three tattoos (one I had to get done twice) and have a fourth planned when I have the money. I love them, especially the one on my back (Cheshire Cat) and go my fiance into tattoos (paid for her first and will pay for her second)

I have thought about getting an ear piercing (as it is the only type of piercing I'd get but unless I found a piercing that would suit me it isn't going to happen.

 

[imp-caretaker]

I didn't get a job, because of my piercings... I have two earings in my earlobes and one on the top of my ear.(those classifies as piercings. Even though people doesn't call them that anymore)
I personally think that it's up to the individual to decide whether or not to get bodymod, because it's their body and it's their decision..
I have plans on getting most of my body tattoed(I'm a girl) and getting more piercings(have 5 for now).
I recomend that people should think about why they want the bodymod and what kind. because you wouldn't want to regreat it later on.

my respect to people who have bodymod
