Next, I will explain the arguments on why it is not morally permissible to allow body modifications for patients that suffer from B.I.I.D. First, the procedure, as well as, long-term consequences may cause tremendous harm to the patient. The medical professional made the Hipporatic Oath to do no harm to a patient. The medical professional is supposed to act with non-maleficence and perform procedures where benefits outweigh the costs. The amputation and paralysis procedures have numerous risks…
Lester (2012) states “Out of the 4,690 responses (2,078 men, 2,581 women, and 31 “other”), 18.6% were 18 years old or younger, 70.8% were between 19 and 30, and 10.6% were older than 30” (p. 22). After conducting the survey, results show “More body modifications on females were associated with the four types of self-reported abuse… For males, having “other” piercings and scarifications on the lower arm was associated with all four types of self-reported abuse” (p. 24-26). This evidence proves…

tattoos were primarily for those who were formally deviant; however, the practice has become more prominent across class, race, gender, and age groups. The stigma that tattoos were only for deviant individuals has gone. Although some still see body modifications as deviant and unprofessional, that thought process is gradually dying out. In a recently conducted survey which found that “18-29-year olds are by far the most tattooed generation in American history” (Strohecker 2012) really reinforces…
I’ve always loved seeing what makes an individual unique; after all, if we were surrounded by people that all looked the same, acted the same, and were nothing but alike we’d live in a very bland world. I was thirteen years old when I first noticed a visible tattoo on someone that was in my age range, and I remember analyzing the tattoo and thinking how beautiful each detail was. It wasn’t until a couple of days of getting to know this person that I noticed how no one would sit with him, or talk…

Footbinding is a very old custom that is no longer practiced; there may be one or two women who are still alive with bound feet. Also, the setting of this book was in the 1800s, China’s culture is significantly…
Sacrificing certain things for a greater freedom: long hair, piercings, and tattoos to name a few. This is why many soldier having a desire for tattoos wait until their service or enlistment time frame has been served before being tattooed. An aspect of military culture is uniformity. It is impossible for the military to govern the type of tattoos individuals place on themselves. Tattoos depicting sexual provocative imagry or gang related symbols that can be hidden in a variety of different ways…
While tattoos and piercing once symbolized tribal signs and cultural signifiers, they have become increasingly popular among university students in North America as a manner of expression. My aim in this paper is to explore whether or not having piercings or tattoos has a correlation to the level of other deviant behaviour, specifically regarding drug and alcohol consumption, and level of sexual activity. Additionally, I will investigate childhood behaviour and background in hopes of finding a…
How better would someone show that their family is important to them without putting tattoo images on their body for everyone to see? In my pre-teen years, I began to want tattoos, but I never knew exactly what I wanted. Then, after my eighteenth birthday, I started coming up with different ideas, constantly searching through Pinterest. 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…
