Text : The Debating Society


used to be reserved for bikers, lorry-drivers and sailors ! Nowadays, wears them, even teenagers ! I'm sure those kids don't realize that what they do is forever.
As for me, I believe that people who torture their bodies with tattoos and piercing of all kinds must really hate . They decorate their bodies only because they want other people to see them. They are just trying to gain additional attention.
The problem is that what you do is , you can't get rid of a tattoo, and you can't remove a piercing hole.
That's why I believe that parents should prevent teens getting pierced or tattooed.


Actually, I believe it is quite the opposite. I have tattoos because I see my body as a work of art, I want to be as artistic possible, even if it means a lot of transfomations.
, tattoos and piercing are to cosmetic surgery [ ] what prehistoric drawings were to Art.
As a matter of fact, humans have always decorated their bodies with clothes, jewellery and accessories and paint or make-up. If people decoration, I don't see why they shouldn't wear tattoos.

However, I agree with the fact that getting tattoed should be a personal choice. It's not because you're a punk or a trendy teenager that you to have tattoos and piercing.
