The biggest difference too me between tattoo and the mod world is simple. One is permanent the other is not. Ours show on the out side. Mods have too pull their pants down too show their split cocks. To me personally those of ink are that of being fearless in nature. Mods to me hide their true self.
But you have too think about fetish here. It is about respecting others personal fetish. Be hanging from a meat hook. Which we all know has grow too
Be the tough guy sport. Just like bungee jumping was a few years back. They had to reinvent themselves somehow.
But to me personally hanging or dancing with hooks or what ever the method is. This is of pain. Through pain sight is given. So I have too ask all those that do this suspension I have too know really why do you do it if you make a mockery of your brotherhood of mods. Now simply is suspension a body mod... not at all.
I get tattooed too mark growth and to recreate myself the ever changing canvas. I shape it, mold it, I create it. Other words I am in control of my
Vision. There are some many areas of the psychological aspect of the tattooed vers mods. I am sure it would be up too each individuals to justify
Themselves. But most of it is an out-word expression. Through pain comes suffering comes identifying, comes conscience, comes anger, comes fear, comes transformation, and then come laugher. just like each of us have our own opinion about ourselves and what the difference would be. The comments we get is that of a persons fears of not knowing or how too ask or behave, or truly express themselves. So just ask them why do you have too ask that question. It makes you no different that the good ole chirstians.
But honestly once you stop caring what others think of you is when you truly began too live your life.
