Response to Kiri Horne's blog about body modification

I was different to Kiri in that I expected this lecture to be quite interesting before I even turned up. I was not disappointed! Although I expected the lecturer to use images during his presentation, I was not prepared for the brutality of many of them.
As with Kiri, I did not know that copying of tattoos is considered racist by some people. I think this is interesting because what is just a pattern or drawing to one person can have a deep and symbolic meaning to someone else.
I agree with how Kiri ended her blog, by saying that body modification is down to personal choice. I have since had my naval pierced and think it looks lovely.
