So you think Body Modification is a fad......

Body modification has been practiced longer than Christianity. I don’t believe the term ‘fad’ is really relevant.

    Who says Christianity isn't a fad too?

    Maybe it is.

    Someone in another thread said they would be glad when this fad of tattooing and piercing is over. It's never going anywhere because it is no fad.

    I'm a little worried about the fact that a discussion like this is in the "chit-chat" forum, considering how heavy the topic could end up being for some people, but I'm in total agreement. Body modification, even "in the extreme" (branding, subdermal implants, etc) is almost as old as humanity itself. Plus, I'm pretty sure scarification and piercings haven't been proven detrimental to your overall health in that span of time.

    Piercings and tattoos should be done because you want them. Not because they're a fad. So who cares what other people think?
