How do you view body modification for religious purposes?

Posted on November 30, 2009 by admin

Assuming that the person is over the age of consent?

Things such as religious tattoos, scarification, circumcision, suspension, or similar?

Why do you hold that view?

in my country, in the highlands of papua new guinea, religious tattoos, scarification are circumcision part of the ancient and traditional culture. i aprove of this veiw, becaus of my papua new guinean and pacific island heritage and culture/up-bringing has made me who i am (: and im proud to be a melanesian (: bikpela blesim + stap isi wantok (:

    I don’t think I would ever do anything like it, but as long as the person isn’t having presure put on them by others to do things they are uncomfortable with, it isn’t too bad. Painful though. But if they are over the age of consent, it’s their choice pretty much, right?
