Body Modification; Insanity.

Scarification. Beautiful.

My legs are covered in bruises. I don't know for sure where they came from but I have an idea it was when Johnny tripped me over in the snow and when Dicky kept nipping my legs when we were on the train. I love my bruises. They're all blue and purple, sore to touch. Fabulous, in my own opinion. It's a change from my legs being pink and pale.

I've started to look at my body to see what's missing. I used to look at my tongue and think there was a metal bar missing... that was short lved though. For a while, I thought there was a metal bar missing from my lip... I got it shoved in and I'm rather happy I did. I still have not felt the need to take it out and I doubt I will for a very long time.

I look at my shoulders now and I think "man... they're bland". I don't want something cheesey like those swallow tattoos (no offence to anyone with them, they're just not my cup of tea) but I'd love something there, just some ink to brighten up my shoulders. My back is a blank canvas. Lolas' tattoo, of the wings; the placebo wings, is one that I would consider. But alas I fear that getting these would be too much like copying and that goes against the whole point of me being me.

Scarification is something I'd love but never go through. It seems much more delicate (the result, obviously not the proceedure) that ink and metal. I'd never be able to pluck up the courage to do it. One of the big reasons I wouldn't do it is because it's a scar. I have no need for any more scarfs, if you please. As much as I love my scars, I don't think having one simply for decorative purpose would agree with everything else I have ever done. What would this scar mean? Nothing, it just looks nice.

As I said, I love my scars, my metal. I love all types of scars, metal and ink. I love all weird and wonderful ways of making yourself stand out from the crowd. I'm not the kind of person that thinks "when i hit 16 im going to get pierced to shit, man!", or "dude, when we're 18 lets wreck our bodies with ink!" or anything else along those lines...

I'm spur-of-the-moment Heather Cameron. If I want a piercing/tattoo/body mod of any sort I'll decide the night before and forget to mention to my parents.
