Are people with body modifications judged by society?


In today’s society we do like to believe that people are not judged but it is true that society still judge people on their appearances. According to this article a person should consider the way they may be judged when getting a visible piercing, implant, tattoo, or other non-mainstream modification.

The article seems to indicate that people link body modification to dug’s, alcohol, crime and violence. People with body modification are also discriminated in work places, such as when applying for jobs; they are rejected due to body piercing or tattoos. People with body modifications may also get treated differently by law enforcements, school officials and other government bodies.

In my opinion, this is wrong and people with body modification should not be treated differently to people that do not have body modification. Having body modification does not mean that you are a bad person; it just means that you choose to be different to others. Also people with body modification may be highly educated but are judged on their appearance, which is wrong because appearance can be misleading. Therefore, people in society with or without body modification should be treated the same and be given the same opportunities, as those without body modification.
