I can’t remember when I heard this kind of art for first time, but as a person who really like arts, I can’t let the people to call it art.
This is really awkward, how can people say this is art!!!
Using piercings or something like tattoos which now involved with gangs members and anybody on planet who wants to show courage uses them. But also I can be agree with some of them such as make up the face and whole of the body. There are some good thing and bad thing on this kind of art if we called that!!! So let me go deep and find history for this art (defiantly anything got history on planet) and then compare them with our age.
As my research, the body art has got long history, maybe more than 3000 years. It invented when human got tribe society, maybe when human introduced with tools and how to use them, they find it one of the tools. Defiantly most of the human’s achievements earned when human looked at natural world and tried to understand the animal’s behaviour, so maybe they looked at animal skin and colour, they find it useful for hunting (hiding in bushes or ambushing). It had grown and more and became popular. Solder made up their face in wars to show their courage and made the enemies scary. After that wizard and even prayer got to used it. In part of Africa and Asia people used piercings or made hole on their face to show how pain they got. Some of the kings and commander used that to show symbols and it had grown. I find that the first touch with real art happened when some actors use make up and mask in their shows so many years ago. So If we compare the function of body arts, I mean usage we find that there is no difference at all between now and past. Now people get tattoos to show respect to something and maybe show their courage or even show their belief in life. Some other people want to follow the superstars and do their beaver with blind eyes.
In conclusion, I can’t call it any sort of art and it’s defiantly my personal idea and that is all.
