Self expression comes in many forms.
The term ‘body art’ encompasses any form of body modifications, including tattoos and piercings.
Getting inked or pierced has become such a popular practice in today’s society, whether you love it or hate it. Many practices of body art has existed throughout history.
Though what makes it all so appealing?
Motives for getting body art include a mark of identity, style, honor for another person, as well as other reasons. Regardless of the motive, a mystery remains behind why a person would do such things to his or her body, potentially arousing curiosity.
Tattooing and piercing may be considered art in itself, implying human skin is a canvas.
Tattoos may represent a very important aspect of one’s self. Some considering getting ink feel that the tattoo must have a meaning, whether it’s a quote, date or symbol. Whatever a person decides to do to their body is ultimately a reflection of their character.
Another aspect of the appeal includes the act of getting a tattoo or piercing. In past, the majority of the tattooed demographic were ‘rebellious’ types, bikers, sailors, prisoners, etc. Those with ink often are stereotyped as ‘edgy’ or ‘tough.’
“It’s the freedom of expression, to dress and look however I want, ” said Roger Rienstorf, an experienced piercer at New Age Tattoos and Body Piercings.
The mere fact we live in a nation in which most superficial expressions of self is perfectly legal, the allure of acting upon it, simply because you can, prevails. Ink or piercings may indeed have a mean of identification to a single person, but as a whole, the act of acquiring them serves as a revolutionary act for our society.
Who wouldn’t want to be a part of that?
So, perhaps the overall appeal lies within one’s own personal preference. An attraction toward anything, whether a person, place or idea, roots within one’s natural desires. Body art so happens to be a growing part of our culture, literally marking us humans as who we are in this day and age.
