Changing Face Of Acceptance in Culture
Ouch, Ouch, Ouch! We think we’re pretty open minded and/or liberal here at the Guilty Gang Compound. We’ve got friends from all walks of life and every economic, social and ethnic category. But, we just had to post this in our “crazy-funny” news section simply because it was so hard to believe (and look at). It’s like seeing an accident on the side of the road. You know your going to see something gross and messy. You try not to look BUT, you do anyway.
We found this listing of people who have modified their bodies in some rather intense ways! Several are familiar freaks previously seen on BMEzine.com or various TV shows. However, seeing them all together is quite a shock to the old brain. Seen here, from left, Rick Genest, Elaine Davidson, and Kala Kaiwi.
As one that has tattoo’s, as well as had ear piercing earlier in life, what will these guys/gal look like when they are 50-60-70 years old? And what will they be doing at that point? Imagine being their son or daughter on parent/teacher night? Ha, Ha…It’s just a bit hard for me to swallow that anyone would do this to themselves in a sober state. But then again, we’ve all done things where we’ve questioned our sanity afterwards.
On another note, tattoos have become such a “socially acceptable” form of expression it’s made it’s way onto and into mainstream medical arena. Now our kids (and i’m sure some adults) can wear tattoo inspired band-aids. Each handsome and unique metal tin contains an assortment of three size band-aids and a “free toy to take your mind off of the excruciating pain.” Sells for $3.99 at Perpetual Kid.
