Body Modification

I love tattoos, and piercings. i like to decorate my body, show my individuality on my skin. Make myself a piece of art work, But i do not understand body modification beyond this point. I don't understand taking hormones your body is not suppose to have to change the way you look. I don't understand taking steroids to get bigger stronger, and well creepier. Putting plastic in your body to shape and contour.

I will be supportive of my friends who decide to change themselves with Surgeries and medications, but I cant even pretend to understand it. Why mess with something already so perfect? Plastic surgeries scare me. They are dangerous and unpredictable. Removing pieces, putting artificial ones in. Snipping and clipping at flesh to shape, extend, shorten, lift, tighten, or pull is so unnatural to me.

Beauty is a gift nature has given us in the form of diversity. Arms, legs, stomachs, breasts, noses, lips and eyes. No two are the same for a reason.

To each, his own.

I will not stand in someone else's way in the persute of happiness. but i don't know if i will ever understand the mind set, or the reasons behind these artificial body modifications.
