Response to Daniel's Blog

I recently read Daniel's blog on body modification. At first, the entry seemed interesting and showed a genuine interest in the historical relevance of body modification, but then it took a slight turn. Daniel had expressed that he thought tattoos and piercings were acceptable, as he in fact has one of each. He also explained the significance of his tattoo, which I feel is important. What threw me off was his opinion of how one or two tattoos are acceptable, but anything more is a little too "over the top." He even went on to say that facial tattoo are disturbing, he was shocked by the images he had seen in the lecture. I don't think it is right to say tattoos are an acceptable form of self expression, but only in moderation. I think that is somewhat hypocritical. It is not right to say what is too much and what isn't, it is that persons body, and they want 100 tattoos, then that is their right!
