HOW IS YOUR BODY DECORATED?

As I have covered before, man has been decorating his body since the dawn of time. He has and continues to decorate his body in many ways. Tattooing, piercing, scarification and branding are some of the most current and perhaps permanent decorations. All of us that have modified our bodies have done it for many reasons.

I have tattoos covering a good part of my arms, on my legs and my chest is also done. I have over a dozen piercings above and below the waist. I enjoy them all. Almost all of my piercings I have had for over 20 years. For me it is not a fad, but part of my lifestyle. I am fortunate that I do not regret any of them and am still collecting.

TATTOO

A tattoo is a mark made by inserting pigment into the skin: in technical terms, tattooing is micro-pigment implantation. Tattoos may be made on human or animal skin. Tattoos on humans are a type of body modification, while tattoos on animals are most often used for identification.
Tattooing has been a nearly ubiquitous human practice. The Ainu, the indigenous people of Japan, wore facial tattoos. Tattooing was widespread among Polynesian peoples, and in the Philippines, Borneo, Africa, North America, South America, Mesoamerica, Europe, Japan, and China. Despite some taboos surrounding tattooing, the art continues to be popular all over the world.

Terms
The word "tattoo" is traced to the Tahitian tatu or tatau, meaning to mark or strike (the latter referring to traditional methods of applying the designs). In Japanese the word used for traditional designs or those that are applied using traditional methods is irezumi ("insertion of ink"), while "tattoo" is used for non-Japanese designs.
Tattoo enthusiasts may refer to tattoos as tats, ink, art or work, and to tattooists as artists. The latter usage is gaining support, with mainstream art galleries holding exhibitions of tattoo designs and photographs of tattoos.
Tattoo designs that are mass-produced and sold to tattoo artists and studios and displayed in shop are known as flash.

Body Modification


Send me One Million FREE Guaranteed Visitors



Body modification is not something new, but an art that dates back centuries, possibly all the way back to the time of the caveman.

At my Body Piercing Seminars I tell the story of Og the caveman who is running through the forest with his lit fire stick. Og falls and the stick penetrates through his arm. At that time Og received four forms of body modification that are still practiced today. First he received a crude body piercing from the stick penetrating him. Secondly the carbon from the firestick left pigment behind resulting in a tattoo. He also recieved a brand from the fire itself and a scarification from the wound.

Body Modification has been performed for many reasons. Religious reasons, right of passage, tribal markings, the mark of valor and sexual enhancements to name a few.

Being a Body Modificationist places a great demand on the person perfoming them. The Body Modificationis is responsible for performing precise work, using the utmost care, proper sanitary proceedures and the use of proper equipment.

Being a Body Modificationist requires an individual to act as a counsler, a technician, a shaman or guide helping someone to explore new horizons, cross new thresholds entering a new world of consciousness. It has been a great reward for me to be part of this history. Learn to act accordingly and the rewards will be fulfilling.
