Body modification advice

[Amalynne0]

The paganization of the West has brought some of the bizarre practices of those people groups like piercings and disfiguring.
Owners of business, dealing with the public are very sensitive about how their efforts are perceived.
Maybe in central Africa this stuff would be more accepted- but not likely here.

I am shocked to see an otherwise pretty ( or plain) girl screw up her face.
I don't get it.
I suspect there is some subliminal subculture influencing this.
Is this the case?
Do they hate themselves?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. There are plenty of jobs--mostly artistic--that would allow for free expression. I don't think body piercings or tattoos have anything to do with self-loathing but a kind of subculture expression.

Honestly I think cardigans are hideous and polos in springtime colors are sinful--it's not a form of self mutilation but a mutilation of fashion sense. Nonetheless, the conservative population in my area continues to sport them with pride.

And who cares if a girl wants to "screw up her face"? I'd be more concerned about screwing up your mind with religious delusions.
