I used to have thirteen piercings, so I guess I should be in favour of letting anybody do whatever the Hell they like with their bodies. It does get addictive though and I clearly remember the urge to go further and get more extreme.
I am in favour, really, on the principle that I don't imagine anybody would do anything so extreme without really really wanting it and that, for them, it makes them look more like they want to be. Shouldn't let the fact that I regard the pierced period of my life as a fun thing I experienced and enjoyed and then put away and moved on beyond as any sort of indicator with regard to other people. I have a few small physical scars which will always be with me but otherwise I have become Joe Normal again, which is what suits me.
Too far? Most of what I saw at those url's would be too far for me but I suppose that's not the point. The enforced Chinese bound foot I would not favour but if someone wants to chisel their own feet into a wedge then good luck to them. Makes no sense to me. Finding sexual pleasure in experiencing pain is fundamental to much of the gay SM life and I guess I'm just a bit less extreme in the sort of torture I would submit to.
Beautiful? For me, absolutely none of it. The guy with the flame tattoo round his arsehole might look cute for all of five minutes and then it would, like the real thing or a beautiful sunset, become dull again. But I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Just don't really like tattoos much myself though God knows lots of other people do. I've met guys in West Africa with authentic tribal scarrifications and they were very beautiful. I also met other guys there who, in these less ritualistic modern times, had no scarrifications done in youth and, to be honest, they just as handsome.
Enviable, not a one of them. Envy the fact that they have the money to pay for the surgery but maybe they've saved every penny for years. To derive such pleasure from the way you look, whether or not anyone else finds it a turn on, is perhaps enviable. There is definitely a degree of superficiality and vanity there which I might be suspicious of but that really is just me. If the whole equation is much simpler for them, then good luck to them. I'd be more interested in what was inside someone's head than what was tattooed on their ass or impaled in their scrotum.
Stupid? Only if, like me, there comes a time when they want to glide, chameleon-like, into a new look but they have Aztec ear-reels turning their earlobes into wispy threads.
I remember a mentally ill woman whom I nursed and the years of hassle and operations, and concomittant effect upon her mental health, of having several huge tattoos removed by laser surgery. Can't remember what all the tattoos were of now but I do remember several of them were the names and faces of Bay City Rollers whom she'd had a thing about in her youth. Have known a few guys who had the wrong woman's name tattoed on a body part and then had masking tattoos over the top.
I remember a guy in a shop once told me I looked like a shower curtain and bust a gut laughing at his own wit. I could and should have planked him there and then for his insolence but I wasn't the hard man I appeared to be with all my big rings and spikes. And in retrospect, I knew he was right. I did look like a shower curtain and unplucked all the metal over time.
Saw a couple today who must have had about forty things puncturing their faces and perhaps many more under their clothes. They both looked very unappealing but maybe they would have looked just as unattractice without and at least I noticed them. They were making a statement. Just not a very pretty one. |
