Body modification

Swastika tattooThe Social Psychological Perspective of Body Modification

I just keep reminding people that they need to think about the consequences of body modification. If you get a swastika tattoo on your forehead, don't be surprised if you have a hard time finding work. It isn't 'discrimination' when it is something that will freak the crap out of the target consumer.If you get pierced and don't take care of it, you can end up with an infection that can make you sick, make you lose an ear, or even kill you.A friend of mine was told by the doctor at the emergency room that if she would have waited 24 more hours before coming in to get her infected cartilage piercing looked at, the infection would have spread to her blood, then her brain, and then killed her.She had to go through a major reconstructive surgery after she was finally healed.It took years for her to get back to the approximate state she was in before she got pierced.You always need to be ready to accept the consequences of your decisions,but if you do, then I have no problems at all with you doing anything you please to your body.
