Do you have any body modifications (ie: piercing, tattoo, cosmetic dentistry, plastic surgery, etc.)?
If so, what and/or how many?
If none, would you ever?
Why or why not?

ReplyDelete1. Yes.
2. I have my ears pierced...one hole in the lobe of each ear. I had braces on my teeth for 2 years. I had my hair permed 2 or 3 times total, when I was in elementary school (not sure if that counts or not).
3. No
4. I will never have anything else pierced nor will I ever get a tattoo. I grew up in a household where nobody had tattoos and the only piercings were one in each ear and piercings were for females only. I have no need for more piercings or tattoos. Tattoos are permanent and I don't want to mess up my skin for life....no fancy design, logo, verse, etc. is worth that. Some of my friends have tattoos, and that's fine, but it's not what I want for myself. I would only have plastic surgery if it was for a medical purpose or to fix something because of a break, burn, result of having a disease or other medical reason, not because I just wanted something done to make myself look better.

ReplyDelete1. Yes
2. I have two piercings in each ear & I have had braces.
3. I would like a couple more piercings and maybe one day a tattoo, no plastic surgery.
4. I would get a tattoo if it was meaningful to me or if someone close to me passed away just to show my remembrance. I would never get plastic surgery because I am happy being myself and I feel like i have the features I have for a reason. :)

2 tattoos - 1 butterfly on my lower right ankle & 3 small stars on my left foot
3. N/A
4. I like my tattoos and piercings. Granted, I don't think they necessarily look very professional. I cover them when I go to work. I think getting body modifications is a personal decision.

ReplyDelete1. Yes
2. I have 5 earrings and 2 (very small) tattoos
3. N/A
4. I got tattoos only visible to me because of the meaning.
Individual #11
ReplyDelete1. Yes
2. Just one set of ear piercings
3. N/A
4. I just thought it was the cool thing to do as a teenager, but I will never get anymore.
Individual #12
ReplyDelete1. Yes.
2. Earrings and two holes.
3. N/A
4. I just think that there are so many ways that earrings go with outfits. And it kind of makes me feel like a rebel. :)
Individual #13
ReplyDelete1. Yes!!
2. Just two (one hole in each ear), I dye my hair once a month and get my nails done once every two months
3. I want a tattoo but probably won't get one, and maybe a perm.
4. Tattoos, I love but are too permanent. Perms grow out eventually, and same thing with hair dye.
Individual #14
ReplyDelete1. No
2. N/A
3. Never
4. I do not have any piercings, tattoos, or any other type of body modification nor do I plan on ever having any of those because piercings and tattoos are permanent and modify your body in ways that you weren't created as having.
Individual #15
ReplyDelete1. Yes
2. 2 earrings per ear and invisalign.
3. No
4. They were simply for personal benefit. I would not consider more drastic modifications because that is much more than who I'm intended to be for one and two they are costly.

4. I would try teeth whitening if my teeth turned really yellow or something, but that's pretty much it.

ReplyDelete1. Yes
2. I have both of my ears pierced once; I have used teeth whitening strips and currently have some on my bathroom counter, and I have gone to the tanning bed a few times.
3. It depends...
4. I have never had braces; my teeth are not perfect, but I like them. I don't want anymore piercings because I feel like they will make me look trashy. Tattoos are very expensive and I am afraid of needles, so count me out on them! I love my hair color; I don't want it to be ruined with dye. Fake nails are neat, but just for special occasions for me. I don't want my skin to look like leather by the time I am 30, so I seriously limit my tanning bed use.

2. total piercings (2 lobes each ear, 1 tragus, 2 cartilage, 1 industrial), one tattoo, Braces
3. n/a
4. I had braces because my teeth needed correcting, I got my tattoo with friends while I was in high school. I don't regret it, but I don't think I will get another. I have always liked ear piercings so I might get more in the future but for right now I don't want any new ones.
