Body modification

There are many different forms body modification can take such as tattoos, piercings and the more unusual such as foot binding and cirumcision.
People undertake these cats for reasons such as pleasure, religion or because they have been focred to.

One of the most common forms is tattooing and chances are you will know somebody who has a tattoo.
One example of this is that my mother has approximately nine tattoos on her body. Two of which represent myself and one which represents my sibling.
I am not against tattoos and some can look quite good however I disapprove of my mother having them as I think they look silly on her and don't really suit her.
I have another relative who has tattoos from neck to ankle and as this relative is now a pensioner, they do not look as good as when the tattoos were first put on. I do not think that tattoos suit old people and therefore am against permanant inking. Temporary tattoos on the other hand, I am all for as having those is not such a life altering decision.

My mother has had all of her tattoos done by the same man; Joe, this is his website http://www.joestattoostudio.co.uk/
