How Far Would You Go?

Sometimes when people hear someone speaking about Body Modification they usually think about anything related to piercings. Sometimes those people fail to do a bit more research on this topic so they can find out there is more than piercings when it comes to this topic. Body modification is not just about getting pierced, it is more complex than actually thought. Some times people don't find themselves to be appealing to the rest of the world or simply are not happy with they way they look or feel and have the need to go through a single or many medical procedures in order to achieve the life they desire in order to be happy with themselves and to have what they consider a productive life or a physical accomplishment that will permit them be part of "society". Sometimes it is hard for an individual to live day by day simply because they're not happy with their appereance and, sometimes they have to live through depression or anxiety on a daily basis.

Those individuals choose to make changes to their bodies knowing that will be the only way they will be completely happy and feel content, which allow them to have the healthy and productive life they wish. There is plastic surgery and re-constructive surgeries which are they key to success for many and a the best solution for those who choose to break the stereotypes, and for those who simply don't give a fuck of what others might say. Sometimes people add and sometimes people remove parts of their bodies. I believe anyone has the freedom to live the life just as they please an do what they wish with their bodies when it comes to modification of their physical attributes. I've learned about people removing a toe or a finger an living happier life the same way I've heard of a woman having a desire to have three breasts (seriously).

Musical Notes Tattoos

Recently I was having a conversation with a musician who said he wanted to get Musical Notes tattoed on his body but he also pointed out he don't want to do it just like "everyone else's". What he emant by that is that he noticed many people would actually get random notes all over the place and he wants his to actually say something even though not too many people know how to "read them". He said he wanted something that he can be proud of and at the same time a high quality custom made work. I gave him some advice about who to go to and also reminded him to look for an artist that can deliver quality and not quantity for a cheap price. I also told him to speak to the artist about him wanting a creative job instead of just plain notes. I learned a lot about my musician friend that actually made me think about something not too many people care about or simply focus on.

The Nautical Star

Photobucket
The five-pointed Nautical Star of mariner’s charts is found on the compass rose, straight up, at the North position. Somewhere back in the salty mists of time it represented the North Star, also known as Polaris, which was so crucial to navigation. Today it is a tattoo symbol that harkens back to finding one’s way home and the luck that it sometimes takes to get there. The Nautical Star tattoo can be big, small, two colors, one color–pretty versatile really.
Who gets it? This is a tattoo symbol that is absolutely raging in popularity right now, especially among young hipsters who dig the nautical/retro feel. Who has it? Mark McGrath (lead singer of Sugar Ray) has a blue one on his left elbow. Where should you get it? The elbow is a classic placement of the Nautical Star, like Mark McGrath, but they also tend to occur in pairs, on either side of the chest or the insides of the forearms. Because it’s a essentially a bunch of straight lines though, it lies and looks best on relatively flat areas. Why should you get it? You’ll never have to pull over and ask for directions again.
Although you might not have found your perfect tattoo in the list above, you are no doubt starting to visualize one. As you continue on your journey to that final result, make your own top ten list of the greatest tattoos and keep revising it. In time, you may find that you’ll have a tattoo, one that’s just right for you, instead of just thinking about it for another decade.
