neat: temporary bod-mod

Expressing yourself has never been more easy or accepted than it is today. And fortunately, this new wave of body art as expressions has grown to be A LOT more forgiving than in the past. I'm sure everyone knows at least one person with a tattoo horror story or at the very least, a regretful one. As much as we'd like to hope that the days of unthoughtful permanence was at an end, sadly, as long as there are boos and tattoo guns, this will probably never happen. What we CAN celebrate are the innovative, utterly beautiful, smarter, and less-permanent bod-mod techniques that have recently hit the streets in a big way.Sure, henna has been around for over 5,000 years, and lickable, stickable tattoos have accompanied children's trinkets and cracker jack boxes for ages but today what we are seeing are more modern, widely applicable and adaptable versions of these traditional art methods. Temporary bod-mod art is the perfect compromise for our wacky, unique, and ever-changing desires to express our feelings at any moment. As any person with permanent holes in their face or a regrettable tattoo will tell you, feelings change. Whether used for fun or to make a more serious statement, place 'em where you want when you want, and when you're done, do it again or do something different-- your choice. That's just it: temporary bod-mod has given choice and forgiveness back to us in our more traditionally impulsive, less-forgiving decisions.1. http://www.flashtat.com/2. http://tattly.com/products/animal-drivers-set3. http://www.refinery29.com/2014/03/63736/stamps-nail-art?utm_source=feed&utm_medium=rss4. http://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=temporary%20hand%20art5. http://tattly.com/products/tool-set6. http://skinwars.gsntv.com/contestant/shannon/
