Body Modification

in tattoo •  8 years ago 

Most of us or our parents can remember a time when tattoos and piercing and all other forms of body modification were there for the criminals, bikers and all other types "low life degenerates". However we have come into a time where body modification not only is accepted but also comes in many forms. Tattoos and piercings being the more apparent ones but plastic surgery has become so popular these days that it is almost a right of passage for celebrities in the west to have their appearance altered in some way or another.

Nowadays tattoos in particular have been reaching new highs in its popularity with each passing year. Almost every walk of life has gotten the itch for a new tattoo, soccer moms, doctors, lawyers, religious members... Most of us have tattoos or probably have a close friend or a family member who has a tattoo. There are likely people who you don't think would have tattoos, like your family doctor, who in reality are hiding a chest piece under that lab coat!

As society continues to grow and learns to accept everyone as unique individuals and overall tolerance increases, we will likely see a new breath of life in creativity in the world of body modification. Just as you cannot stop the ebb and flow of the ocean, you cannot stop the gaining popularity of body modification in the 21st century. All you can do is sit back and surf the internet for your next tattoo ;)

Hope to god that's a woman's thigh ;)

Really well written piece. And really cool tattoo!

Thanks so much :)

I hope the stigma surrounding body mods changes, soon. Personally, living in a more liberal area, it has never affected me, but it does hinder a lot of people from getting far in life.

That tattoo must have taken forever to do.

It took me about 6 hours to tattoo ;)
