Views on TATTOOS AND BODY MODIFICATION



Tattoos: art or immoral?

In my opinion I think tattoos and body modification are completely down to individual choice, whatever the reasons are. It’s bad that kids in some cultures are given tattoos and piercings when they haven’t consented. Howvever they’ll probably do the same things to their kids when they’re older – isn’t that how cultures get their traditions, because they’re passed down through generations? (Some of the body modifications were really bad and unfair to the kids though).

I think some of the body modifications got really ridiculous though– I don’t really see the point in having piercings that were going to be rejected anyway, but I suppose people have their reasons!

This site talks about the personal significance of some celebrity tattoos:

I think the idea of having the coordinates of where her children were born is nice, at least this tattoo is personally significant – it’s doubtful she’d regret having this tattoo.

I agree with what you are saying about tattoo's being an individuals choice because surely a person should have the right to choose whether they would like to modify their body. I also agree that yes some modifications do look silly but your right people must have their reasons. Some modifications do look nice though, I guess it is all about a person's preference.
