When asked for his definition of the human body is, Eduardo Galeano said, “The Church says: the body is a sin. Science says: the body is a machine. Advertising says: The body is a business.

every cell in my body panic as my air supply began to cut off. I felt my body sink lower and lower. The increasing pressure made it merely impossible for my muscles to contract. My body was immobile, in my head I kept screaming, begging my arms to move, I was pleading my body to desire life. Finally my eyes opened and I realized I was alive.

being: food, water, and shelter. The most important out of those three is arguably water. Unlike food you can only last without water for ninety hours, whereas you can go without food for weeks at a time.

In my pre-teen years, I began to want tattoos, but I never knew exactly what I wanted.

Finally, I realized that my family means a great deal to me and I wanted to express that respect and tell several stories on my arm. Each one of these tattoos it…

to irk me because I’m naturally thin, I always have been, but not by choice. I know that if I did not have the genes my parents gave me I would not be the same size I am today. To be honest I consider myself to be a fat person. No, I do not have a body image problem. I know I am thin, but at this point I should be extremely fat. I am constantly eating junk food, I am the one who goes to a party and instantly starts to look for the food and will shamelessly shove brownies, cupcakes, and bacon in…

I decided to take a look at just how many professionals are scrutinized for their choices. Upon googling “doctors with tattoos” I was shocked to see that the majority of the popular links lead me to aspiring doctors asking strangers what they might do to alter their body. In response to these posts, very fortunate tattooed professionals responded, as…
