Its sad how people are so unused to modified people, and its the twenty first century. You think by now people would be used to differences in appearance. Unfortunately my family is no different than any out there, not only do they dislike my piercings I border on being disowned whenever I get a new mod. I really want to get a tattoo but I fear it may push my parental units to the brink. Its sad because at twenty years old I should not fear their reaction to my appearance, but unfortunately I still do. However, that has never stopped me before, so I am sure in time the tattoo will come to be, and whatever my parents say is not going to stop me. Their reactions, to almost everything I do, is never a positive thing. Its unfortunate that they cannot accept me with all my quirks and inconsistancies. Its no small wonder why my road through life always takes me back to substance abuse and depression. However it would be shallow of me to blame it on them, Its my reaction to their reactions that always kicks my ass off the wagon. Its painful, its discontenting, and slightly disturbing, but in the end I guess the back of my mind always knows what to accept. I probably should get back out of the situation that I have placed myself in, but my motivation isn't there and my mind is still fragmented, so I in my own way am my biggest enemy. Last night I was watching a discovery Channel show on Humanimals. Everybody on there was heavily modified, and most of them I have either seen before or have met in person while I was living in New Orleans. My mother got so disgusted at the show that she left in a fit. It made me sad that even my own mother could not understand the desire that drives one to modify themselves to that point. To me I hold great respect for the people that choose to do this, I find it beautiful and feel that they must be so completely at one with themselves in order to come full transformation. I just am so entirely put back and don't understand why she cannot see things my way. Its sad because she thinks she is an open minded accepting person, but in my eyes she is just as Stupid and Judgemental as everybody else out there. She doesn't just dislike my mods but openly opposes them. She hats my involvement with modified people, and she dislikes me being a member of BME. Still this is who I am, and she and the millions of other people will never stop me from doing what I enjoy. Mayber she will come to the realization one day that I am still the same person with or without the mods, but even if she doesn't I at least will be at peace with myself.

Oh....and about your last set with the tape.....next time you do one like that Id be willing to scrub the glue off of you
Everyone has thier own opinions on everything. Personaly I dont like the more hardcore stuff much. Tats I like (I have a few and want many more) Piercings I dont like quite as much....wont get one myself (Though for some reason I find a girl with alot of piercings REALLY sexy ) The more hardcore stuff......to me is just "eewwww" Especially some of the more .....ummm.....creative stuff...I have seen some guys do with thier manhood
But my opinion dont matter at all. Its the owner of the mod whose opinion matters. If they want to do that they have that right and can do whatever they please....and no one has the right to tell them otherwise.
Your parents acting like you doing what you want to do (when it doesnt hurt anything) is so horrible is wrong....they cant tell you how to live your life.
But at the same time.....try to respect thier opinions on the subject as much as you can....dont rub it in thier faces. Maybe not having your peircings in (or maybe having retainers?) at family dinners would help. And when you get your tat......you might want to consider getting it some where that you can cover it up with a shirt or something
Parents are just parents, i have two tat's, and they weren't happy about that, altough, they wouldn't let me get them done until I was 18. They weren't happy when I had my bellybutton pierced either.
How are things?
