In lecture we discussed different types of body modification from various cultures and time periods. It seems that in the past and especially in deprived cultures body modification means alot more than getting a tattoo job, because it looks pretty or artistic. In aboriginal and some African tribes body modification is used to tell where a person is from, some holds their language, and what tribe/culture they belong too. I do agree that a culture or society should be able to express their culture, but i don't agree with marking up/tattooing the body up and inflicting pain when doing so.
In modern English society people get tattoos for totally the total opposite reasons. People may get tattoo's, because its attractive, fashionable, artistic, or for group member ship such as a gang. I do not like this type of body modification, because it is permanent and if mistakes are made they are there forever. Another reason for why i am against body modification is that the body was created by God and changing what he has done or adding to it is an attack on God. Tattoos can also cause infection and even death as well as pain and i don't think its worth a butterfly image on the body.
