Body Modification.


What is body modification?
Changing the body in one way or another in various degrees from its original state to another. This can be through piercings, tattoo's, plastic surgery, lipo suction and many more. There are many types of body modification, some permanent such as tattoo's and some less permanent such as piercings. Many people younger and younger are having tattoo's and piercings these days and even plastic surgery. This has also taken a turn and is just as common in men as it is women, even though men go to more extremes.

I was around 13/14 when i had my first tattoo. I had 3 stars on my hip bone, these have this week been covered by an even bigger tattoo that goes up my stomach. i believe that i did have my first tattoo too young and as i reached the age of 19 i realised that i didnt actualy like it that much and it was really bad quality, but what could you expect from someone who would tattoo a girl of around 14 without asking her for i.d even though she clearly looked young.

I think that parents are also becoming more lenient on children and having tattoo's and piercings done, maybe they feel it leads to an easier life to allow there child to have the tattoo or piercing they wish for.

When reading through a few articals i found that the youngest person to have a boob job in the UK was 12 years old.
Do you think this is right, should a child of this age, who has'nt given her body enough time to fully develop be allowed to have a boob job at her age, her body may still be developing and changing till the age of 21, did she still feel the need to get it changed at that age, could she not of waited?
