These are my girlfriend’s first two tattoos. On the left you will see an Om symbol. It is a sacred symbol in many Indian religions. Simply put, it represents the ultimate power of God. On the right is an Egyptian Key of Life, or an Ankh. It is the symbol of balance. Balance between life and death, male and female, ect.

“We’ve reached a stage where cosmetic surgery is so readily available that in certain circles it is expected of women and men to avail themselves of these age-deniers. (You cannot call them youth-enhancers when you are no longer young.) If you choose not to partake of the benefits of needle and knife, you are judged to be making a statement. You are taking a position against the current standards of beauty.
…
Many people assume that in saying no to knife and needle, you are making a feminist statement; such is the lackluster aura that hangs over that label. Feminism has nothing to do with it. Feminists worry why women still make only 77 cents to every dollar a man makes, not whether women are going broke on Botox.
This is about the birth of yet another “ism” among boomers: ageism. We’ve crossed a line; we are angry that we’re growing old. We’re angry at people who remind us what aging looks like. We are colluding in an elaborate social compact to convince ourselves that we don’t have to go there. And no one wants to say that the Emperor and Empress look better with naked faces.”
from Dominique Browning’s New York Times article The Case for Laugh Lines

Lipo can be a grey area as far as body mods go, because sometimes it’s for a health factor rather than cosmetic, but a majority of those whom could actually afford the process, could lose the weight in 1-3 months by just doing 30 minutes of exercise a day with a decent enough fluid intake.
Most people that need it for health purposes can’t afford it in this economy and insurance reasons.
Just felt like adding this comment to say why I’m posting this here.
Cosmetic Surgery (infographics) // 6 notes
Many medical billers and coders will encounter cosmetic surgery at some point in their career. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Surgery, the most common cosmetic surgery for men is liposuction while women most commonly receive breast augmentation procedures. Not all plastic surgery is purely cosmetic, however. Sometimes, procedures that can be done for purely cosmetic reasons are performed for medical reasons, such as breast reductions and rhinoplasties. But despite the positive impact that cosmetic surgery can have on some people, there is a dark side. The truth is that cosmetic surgery isn’t always pretty.

Dang, those are some epic ear weights. Epic in a sense of visually appealing, and if they are as heavy as they look; epically strong weights.
