What people do to their bodies
Fad or For Real
by JR- brainlessworld.net
What people are doing to their bodies for the sake of their own individual perception of beauty, has taken on more than just a mere fad status, but a full blown epidemic.
The latest in body piercing is corset piercing. It consists of a row of loops, pierced down the back on both sides. Ribbons are laced through and tied as the original corset of olden days. Ribbons range from narrow to wide and offered in various colors and textures. Girls are having corset piercing done for proms, and others add the corset adornment to their already, prominent display of tattoos and body piercing collection.
What started as ear piercing, advanced to nose piercing and belly button piercing, then soon escalated to eyebrow piercing, lip and tongue piercing, and as far down the human body to genital piercing, including nipples.
That was an outrage to the older generation who forgot that they, themselves, once swallowed live goldfish.
How is this body alteration any different from the Lizard Man, who is going through his own body modification, transformation project?
People were in awe of him when he first appeared on television, showcasing a split tongue. He now proudly shows off filed teeth sharpened to points, a scalp tattoo, eyelid tattooing, tongue tattoo with a split tongue as mentioned, feet tattooing, X tattooing by the infamous Spider Webb tattoo artist, lip tattoo, fingertip tattooing, and ear tattooing. Of course his entire body is almost entirely covered in tattoos now.
The latest craze before corset piercing was the skin implants, which didn’t stick around too long in the fad era due to its higher risk of infection and problems. But then again, many people didn’t have problems and there’s always someone that believes they won’t either.
With the average, younger generation of today, that are adorning numerous ears piercings, eyebrows, nose, lip, tongue, nipples, genital, the new corset piercing for women (and men won’t be far behind with a male version, I’m sure), tattooing every spot imagineable on the body from scalp to toes.. all that is left for them to do to themselves, is modifications like the original Lizard Man.
Soon, we won’t be able to recognize the humans from the reptiles, or whatever animal they choose to mimick.

Just for the record, historically speaking, nose piercings and belly button piercings have been around for a very long time, you make it sound like they were invented within the last few decades.

13 is way too young for such crap!
Instead of being so appalled about what people do to their own bodies, worry about what’s really important: like family and living life the way YOU want to live it.
So some people are putting holes in their bodies and tattooing themselves, so what? They aren’t harming you or your loved ones. If it’s so disgusting to you, you don’t have to look.
Firstly, I agree with what Dezz said. I have plain boring old ear piercings the sort most people’s grandma’s have, and to be fair, I wouldn’t want to do most of that stuff to myself, but for god’s sake, what other people want to do to themselves is their own business, you make it sound like it’s some discusting form of self harm. Wearing a nice pair of earrings is only the same as putting some make up on as far as I can see and where’s the difference between that and a tongue piercing or corset piercing or whatever they want to do. Personally, maybe 13 is too young to make some decisions. Like tattoos ‘cuz they’re irreversible and you don’t want to be stuck with something forever that you won’t always like, but that’s why there’s an age limit on it [in the uk at least]. I’d reccommend chilling out and if you’re going to protest about something, protest about an important issue. I certainly don’t think the lizard man’s hot, but each to their own… And by the way I’m 17 and beleive me it’s not like you’re pressured into things like this… they’re just availlable. I’ve been tempted by a belly button piercing from time to time and who’s to say I won’t get one, but that’s as far as I’ve ever thought. Beauty’s in the eye of the beholder, after all, so perhaps you should be less quick to judge about something so superficial.
I’m 21 and I have 18 piercings, not to look different, cool or attractive- I was all of those before lol, just kidding. I can comfortably accept why people may see it as hideous and freaky. I’m often asked why I have them and why so many- to be honest I don’t know, its just something I’m interested in; like why some people like Pepsi and some Coke. Why some people are gay, we can’t help what we like and we shouldn’t be made to feel awkward about liking what we do; unless its homicide and drug abuse, obviously. What if everyone was pierced, would it be weird not to have them? Would the people without body mods be the weirdos? We live in an age where we can change gender, whats a few bits of metal stuck to someones face eh? Won’t be long till we can change species and pierce our eyeballs.
