The body as canvas

When does it go to far?

well it goes to far when when you look like this. When you have so many piercings in that it is hard to find a job, getting pierced at a very young age like 12 or 13 seems to be the worst, its the time when there was some relationship to psychopathology, but it was a minor relationship, found only among those children that had multipul piercings. You should not be to worried when your children are 20 or so and want to get a tattoo because its the normal thing to do, but if your child is younger than 18 and really wants a tattoo than it may be a warning sign that you need to watch out for.


A body of expression

Do you wonder why people get tattoo's and piercings? Well this is why......

Any time that we see a fad or a craze, peer pressure seems to be one of the possible motivations to get it, but as Fredrick-Recascino in this article heard another explanation from her modified subjects. They stated that they were not getting tattoo's and piercing because of all of the peer pressure but that they were getting them as a way to reflect their identity. Meaning that the tattoo's that they choose to get is an way to show who they are, or what they like to let others see and kinda know who they are.
