Something I never got a bout that "you body is a temple" thing is that people decorate their temples. The cover them in gold and marble and make beautiful carvings and stained class and other such unnecessary but attractive additions to show the high regard they hold their faith in. So why can't you do something similar to your body?

SchizoSpazz i've been told since i was a kid that the body is a gift from god, and you don't defile that gift by getting tattoos or piercings (only acceptable piercing is one set in the ears for girls). people will do what they want. as long as there's safety involved (using clean equipment), it's ok by me. i'm just a little squeamish about doing it myself (i have family members who have tattoos and piercings, and they go though a large effort to cover up/take them out, and i don't think the tattoos have any meaning, just 'i felt like it'), and although i've said this, my religious grandma thinks i'm really doing it for my love of god. whatever makes her happy
@ Raven I've never really understood that either. It seems almost hypocritical

Aakosir @ Raven I've never really understood that either. It seems almost hypocritical It just doesn't seem hypocritical, it is hypocritical. However, i think one can explain it like this: Your temple, your body, is dedicated to you, not to anyone else. Also, it may be all well with decorations, but it is not a good idea to tear down a wall or pillar that keeps the roof up ..... This may be the original meaning, but regular language deterioration has changed it.

Considering that some early variants of, for instance, lip couloring, included lead, ultimately causing lead poisoning, ... this could easily have contributed to the "no decorations" interpretation.

Well, who in their right mind would inject nervetoxin into their face? Collagen, "used against wrikles", is a nervous toxin .... On the other hand, today, there is non-poisonous make-up, and piercing's normally not through vital parts, and so on ....

I wouldn't do body mods like that, but if someone else wants to, who am I to judge?

Tatts: "Not Even God Can Judge Me" across my chest, Sigil of Baphomet between my shoulder blades "Naught But Lies" around a cross on my right shoulder, ankh on the left shoulder, row of skulls on my lower back and a small "Nessie" on my left wrist.
Piercings: twice in each earlobe, once in each eyebrow, tongue, lower lip (center), one in each of my nipples.
I'm probably done for piercings but I've got so much tattoo canvas left. I can't wait to get back in the chair and start on my ribs. Getting LaVey's nine satanic statements down my left ribs, my sons name somewhere, and a pair of ravens on either side of my head.
