Well, for me it's like this:

Why do some men choose to grow beards or mustaches, whereas other men choose to have a clean-shaven face? Why do some women wear makeup or jewelry while others do not?

Different people like to adorn their bodies in different ways. Our bodies are our own personal pieces of artwork. They are the canvas of our souls--always on display in the art gallery of society. What is considered to be art or beautiful by one person may not be by another.

Imagine a world where every painting is a Picasso.

Does that explain it?

Namaste.

Yes and no.

The mainstream resurgence of tatoos doesn't seem as much like personal expression as it does wanting to belong or peer pressure.

For example: did 100,000 young men simultaneously "decide" to have a tatoo encircling their bicep(s) with a Maori or Celtic design?

Did 100,000 young women spontaneously and independently "decide" that a belly button ring would look sexy?

Me no think so.


--------------------



The proof is in the pudding.

It wasn't spontaneous, dear Swami... did you forget about the "Grey" factor?

I have tats and piercings. IMHO, if you have to ask then you will not understand...

"individuality" can get out of hand sometimes, who cares if people like having similar popular designs? its culture, it aint all bad.

Is curiosity wrong? Is silence a better method for comprehension? Questioning is often the ONLY way to understand.

I'm not much in to body modification. I did have a tongue piercing once when i was younger. Only reason i did it was because i girl i knew said it would look so sexy on me.

This might just be the most common cause for males doing stupid shit.

That's so true, why even the Bible talks about chicks talking guys into stuff with Adam and Eve getting kicked out of the garden of eden.


--------------------
To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

There is no problem asking. I am not offended. It's just impossible to explain it to you, like explaining a Randy Rhoads solo to a deaf person. It just is a waste of time.

That being the case, then why did you ask?!?!?!?!?!

Because I like to see how other minds think; or at least how they think that they think.
