I hate all 3. Scarification is by far the worse and anybody doing it should at the very least see a shrink. Piercings are pretty much always horrible, although some are relatively okay-ish while others are just nope. One or two small tattoos with significance can also be okay-ish though still a bad idea in general, bigger ones (especially the coloured ones) are just awful.

Piercing and scarification never where my thing, as for tattos I always liked them (the more if they carry a story or special meaning behind). As a matter of fact I have an appointment next week to set up for my first tattoo

You're completely right; updated the OP.

A common argument, also posted here of course is 'Your tattoos might look fine now, but how will they look in 50 years?'
Well, I can't speak for others, but old people are ugly anyway; some ink won't make that worse^^

Not a fan of piercings all over the face. The worst though is the damn earlobe gauges. Can't believe people seriously do that to their ears.

Dermal implanting just looks dumb.

I'm not into any of that stuff. The standard ear piercing is fine, but anything other than that seems to make the person rather unattractive (plus the obvious disadvantages of things like tongue piercings)

What I find just as ugly as a tattoo is a constant sun tan. Yeah, you might look more brown (even though I'm not into that in the first place), but in 20 years you will have leather skin. Plus the obvious cancer risk of course. Ew.

I read a book a while ago that really got me thinking about the whole tattoo thing - essentially, the main character had several tattoos - one for each major accomplishment in his life. I'm thinking about something along those lines. I don't really look like a body adornment-kind of guy and my parents will probably "go through the roof" the next time I meet them, but I really like the idea, and I think tattoos - if done right, can look really great. No matter what I decide to base it on though, I'm probably getting a tattoo next month. Nothing extreme, though - I've seen some crazy ones and I'm not there yet.

All in small dozes can be ok. A tattoo on your shoulder, or a piercing in your ear, can be nice (thinking of getting a tattoo myself, just can't figure out what to get or where to place it). But covering your entire body in tribunal patterns or your entire face with hundreds of rings is butt ugly (not to mention potentially dangerous. I can imagine it must hurt falling on your face when its covered in metal).

Dermal implanting and Scarification looks retarded to me, but maybe thats just because I've never seen it before.

No idea if pictures are allowed so I'm not going to risk it and ask you to google full body Japanese tattoos. That is far more awesome than a single tribal on your shoulder or half a sleeve on one arm imo. If you it, do it right.

Sorry. Not impressed. Looks dumb to me.

edit: of course pictures are allowed. Just don't spam Memes or nsfw piccy's and you'll be alright

How does the oxygen absorption through the skin work when the whole body is painted? Anyone knows how much % you can tattoo until it becomes dangerous? As far as I know you die when the body cannot absorb oxygen through your skin anymore...

Personally I'm not one for body art/modifications; I've thought about getting a tattoo and/or piercing my ears, but like you said, I don't really want to if it's just for the sake of having it.
On other people I don't care that much, I've got my own particular taste as to what looks weird or good but I won't hate on somebody for having something that I don't like
My opinions that nobody will care about:
Piercings:
+ Show Spoiler +

I don't get the point of snake bites, and I've yet to see a nose stud or ring that made anybody look more attractive. I don't get eyebrow piercings, and I can't stand when there's a long row of rings like in the pic in the OP

Tattoos:
+ Show Spoiler +

Tattoos can be pretty cool, and I still give it some thought about getting one. The only tattoos I have issue with are ones of stupid images (naked women, skulls puking beetles, ect) and tattoos on the neck and chest and on the face that take up over half of it are weird.

Dermals:
+ Show Spoiler +

I've only seen them in person as just plates under the skin so people can have little balls on places like the middle of the chest or stomach or something. Something that bulges out of the skin seems like it'd make me shudder, but until I see one in person I won't know for sure

Scarification:
+ Show Spoiler +

Oh God that's so disgusting

I'm with everyone else who's cringing at some of these things x.x I can understand tattoos (of meaningful things, hopefully) and piercings in "regular" locations on the body, but everything else just confuses and grosses me out.

Scarification looks better than a tattoo imo but hoollyyy fffuuucccccckkkkkkkk. They basically just carve out your skin slowly with a scalpel. God that looks excruciating.

Funny thing. Perception. I'd find half a sleeve far more dumb as in unfinished and therefore not really a full tattoo of something but I guess people can't just all go tattoo their entire bodies out of the blue either.

Body suit pictures tend to get NSFW quite fast when their asscheeks are visible or when they are holding their dick in their hands.

Darmals and scarifications are ugly and disgusting to me however

a tatoo or a piecering can be really awesome´.

I do have a thing for bellybutton piercings and a tatoo on the back on my shoulder is something I have considered for myself

Would oppose getting anything except maybe a Breaking Bad tattoo on my forehead or Terydactl wing implants on my back

The only body part of my girlfriend that I would allow any modification to is an ear piercing (which she already has), everything else is disgusting and a huge turn off for me.
