Stereotype People with Body Modifications
December 22nd 2010 16:24
Ok, so not everyone with piercings and tattoos are emo, punk, or goth. You have people, like myself who aren't necessarily classified in any of those categories, so don't stereotype. I mean, I was at the bowling alley one night and because I have piercings and stretched ears, that automatically meant that I knew a goth/punk particular band. I had no clue of the band, and could care less to look them up.
So.... Don't stereotype. I have three tattoos and 12 piercings, with more to come in both areas. I also have two scarification scars. But, I'm neither emo or goth. I may have a little punk in me, but not nearly as much as in my past. To date, I don't think I'm in much of any main classification of people, so don't stereotype me.
You'll find preppy kids with tattoos and piercings. You'll find goths with the same piercings and tattoo placement ideas. What makes them one in the same? Nothing.
One should never assume that a Mexican is a hard worker or a Japanese person is super smart.
Although, this isn't quite the same concept, it's still stereotyping.
So, don't do it.
There are so many people with tattoos, piercings, and other body modifications that it's hard to group them all in one classification. Moms, soldiers, veterans, teenagers, grandparents, businessmen, gang members, dads, scientists, athletes, lawyers, police, teachers, and just about anyone in-between may have a body modification somewhere. None of these people are the same person, and none of these people have the same temperaments or personalities.
