Is body modification cool?

SixSentinels SG

Today's NewPaper on Sunday talks about a group of young singaporeans who do all sorts of crazy things to their bodies, like inserting beads under their skin, splitting their tongues, and carving their skin to form scars that look like forms of art. Do these people really think body modification is cool or are they just trying to grab attention? The process is utterly sickening but the results are quite beautiful IMHO. Laughing

i dun like piercings.

dark_snowboy SG

they look cool but they themselves need to take a lot of effort in grooming themselves..
my friend had a ring or something on her cheek, eating is difficult

i think that body augmentation is for people who feel weak and inadequate. the human body is beautiful enough already, so why modify it unless you feel it is not good enough?

RvnRooRon84 SG

Its just plain stupid and dumb. No offence to those who have done it already.

i just pierce my ear on the left a month back. it is difficult to maintain. my friends want to go back and pierce more, but i told them 1 is enough for me.

maybe i shall let it close soon, cause i can't stand the sight of wearing almost the same ear rings as the teenagers on the streets

Anyway, body modification in moderation is alright. But those done in bad taste leaves much to be desired.

popmynutsy SG

These people are either too near-sighted to see the future them or they have too much faith in their wealth in years to come. Rolling Eyes

When you get old, your skin gets saggy and accentuates all the mutilations you have performed on your body.

If you want to avoid looking like a rag, you'll probably have to spend tens of thousands on surgery to attempt to cover-up or undo those things.

Harshly put, body modification is a foolish act in MooKu's humble opinion.

popmynutsy SG

heard about it before. but life so short. enjoy 1st. oso not say u can leave to 50+ yrs old.

MooKu SG

Life is short, enjoy the fullest of each moment. -> This is true, but only provided you don't do it at the expense of your later years right? Neutral There are many other ways to seek enjoyment. Wink

It's not definite that one can live until 50+ years old, but I do believe the chances of you living till then is much higher than you NOT living until that age. Smile
