[QUOTE="Muletrack, post: 1718700, member: 30827"] It all has to do with an unchecked view of personal autonomy. You've probably heard the expression, "It's my body and I can do whatever I want with it." I see the tattoo/piercing phenomena as that concept run amuck. Also, in many cases, it seems related to "cutting." Personal autonomy intermixed with a world that has gone mad, and a feeling that "nothing I do matters anyway." It's really sad. Some indigenous cultures had no concept -- not word for -- what is best for the group as a whole. The movie "End of the Spear" was about first positive contact with such a group in the Upper Amazon during the 1950s. This tribe was so dangerous that Shell Oil saw no choice but to wipe them out. 5 martyred missionaries, some out of Wheaton College, were speared to death trying to intervene. Their death was the breakthrough event. [/QUOTE]
