without
considering
their

characteristics
,
such

,
and
integrity

There
is
a
widespread
belief
that
people
who
opt
for
tattoos
or
piercings
are
a
little
off
,
which
contributes
to
their
marginalization
.
In
truth
,
individuals
modify
their
bodies
for
deeply
personal
and
often
meaningful
reasons
.
These
reasons
are
frequently
misinterpreted
by
those
who

perception
of
people
with
body

needs
to
evolve
,
recognizing
the
diversity
and
individuality
that
these
practices
represent
.
