A few posts have been made by some TL-ers about their tattoo’s, but I’ve been wondering; what does the general populace here think of body adornment like:
Piercing;
Body piercing, a form of body modification, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelery may be worn. The word piercing can refer to the act or practice of body piercing, or to an opening in the body created by this act or practice. + Show Spoiler +
Tattooing;
A tattoo is a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin to change the pigment. + Show Spoiler +
Stretching/ Gauging
Stretching, in the context of body piercing, is the deliberate expansion of a healed piercing for the purpose of wearing certain types of jewelry. Ear piercings are the most commonly stretched piercings, with nasal septum piercings, tongue piercings and lip piercings/lip plates following close[citation needed] behind.

Dermal Implanting
A subdermal implant refers to a kind of body jewelry that is placed underneath the skin, therefore allowing the body to heal over the implant and creating a raised design. + Show Spoiler +and
Scarification
Scarifying (also scarification modification) involves scratching, etching, burning / branding, or superficially cutting designs, pictures, or words into the skin as a permanent body modification.[1] In the process of body scarification, scars are formed by cutting or branding the skin by varying methods. Scarification is sometimes called cicatrization (from the French equivalent). + Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lr2qwpdqgf1r1vqz5o1_500.jpg) Healed scarification: ![[image loading]](http://24.media.tumblr.com/006b4bc42bec3006d0a4c4660323dab4/tumblr_mjyt9n5EG91rq4682o1_1280.jpg)
Do you have body art yourself? Maybe your partner, friends and/ or family, or do you maybe think that your body is your temple and shouldn't be modified?
My personal opinion:
I have multiple tattoo's, two of which I'll put in the spoiler below (please do so as well if you want to show off), so yeah, I really like them. However, even though some tattoo's look really nice on girls, I've yet to see a girl who's more beautiful with tattoo's than without.
It's hypocritical, I know^^
Piercing and scarring aren't really to my liking... Pierced ears are okay (even though I don't like it that young children get them), but al others... I don't really see the beauty of ramming a metal rod through your flesh.
And I think that, since this is art for your entire life, that it should have some deeper meaning than 'ohhhh, shiny!'

Fuck The Idea Of Scarifying Makes Me Cringe
Can't Believe People Do That
That Picture Makes Me Uncomfortable
|
I always though these things were gross. I used to ask people who did it, if they run out of paper for drawing so they continued to do it on their bodies. Immature, I know, but still can't get into my head how any of this is art.

This Scarification stuff is pure masochistic in nature. It doesnt loook any better than a tattoo and is only made for the sake of beeing masochistic. Actually it looks worse.
I dont mind Tatoos at all, many of them are actually artistic and for the sake of aesthetics. Piercings look nice as long as the person doesnt go batshit crazy with them and overloads the whole face with metal. Besides beeing absolutely impractical I dont think metalfaces are aesthetic at all. That Metallip-girl in the picture would look way better without all those things on her lip. That nose and ear thingy is more than enough, everything more is just a waste of a pretty face.
Edit: I think OP forgot Implants, yet another absolutely not good looking thing :D

I prefer my girls sans-tattoos/piercings/scarifications.
I've never really seen scarification in real life. I assume those would be painful as heck.

Piercing: Okay if the standard ear piercing, otherwise no way
Tatoos: Only if you are a pre-industrialization sailor
Other: Ew, no

i cant even google it because im anxious of what i will see

I've always wanted a full sleeve tattoo and I hope I will get one some day! My father is just so old minded and I can't make him accept that 
|
Piercing and tattooing I approve of in moderation, not a fan of scarification at all.
|
When I hear scarification, I think more of what savage tribes might do when they don't have tattoos. Can't believe people would do that in modern society. Well I guess I can believe it, people will do anything as long as it's the cool new thing, but it's still weird as hell imo.
Anyway, I don't have a problem with modest tattoos or piercings, just as long as they're not covering everything.
|
People who pierce their tongue/lip/genitals are odd.
People with tribal tattoos are trying too hard.
Scarification.. all of the above.
|
None of those things are in any way attractive or appealing to me. Scarification turns me off quite a bit.
|
Oh god scarifying looks scary. Not looking at that again
|
What on earth was the first person to try scarification thinking?
|
I just straight up dislike tattoos. The skin wasn't meant to be a canvas. Keep artwork on paper or on the computer.
Piercings are also a no go for me unless it's for earrings. Even then it's still iffy...
Scarification is insane. Seems like people just want infections smh
|
I don't like tattoos or scarification (though I have never knowingly seen that in real life) but I do like pierced ears and belly buttons (nose piercings I'm neutral to as long as its a stud).
|
I have one problem with tattoos: You should be VERY careful what you tattoo.
The worst thing would be some teeny-dream-stuff like some cool signs / mottos, because I doubt that things you found so tough and cool will be seen the same way when you are 50 or older. (Example: My cousin tattooed Thor´s hammer on his chest, I really really doubt that he will like it forever)
Oh and by the way, the argument "look my skin looks better with tattoos" is always countered by " how your tattoo looks when you get older".(skin folds)
