BODY MODIFICATION
Liposuction, plastic surgery, nose jobs,
getting pierced, tattooed, and oh so much more. There are dozens and dozens of ways to engage in body modification in the modern world. In fact, many of these practices go back to the ancient world, especially in the case of piercings and tattoos. Many tribes differentiated themselves from each other with tattoos and piercings. Celtic tattoos have a long tradition and history and still remain popular in the world today. Tribal tattoos, as clichéd as they’ve become, remain popular. However, new advances in science and medicine are now making new forms and expanded forms of body modification possible. For instance, now you can have your eyeballs tattooed. It sounds strange, but it is entirely possible and people have already had the procedure done over in England. The first couple tests had their entire eyeballs colored over in blue and looked like something from a science fiction movie, but seemed quite pleased with the results. Apparently, that blue eye look was what they were going for anyway. Its odd to think that this is supposed to be strange and an alternative lifestyle, but tattoos alone used to be just that. Now they’re almost commonplace. It makes you think.
