    People who use “your body is a temple” as an argument against tattoos or body modifications have never seen a fucking temple in their lives.

      American Christian temples and churches are all boring and austere because having fun or enjoying anything is a sin. They are not representative of temples as a whole, but their constituents think they are (or else think they should be).

      Decoration is sacred, and as such it is important to adorn your mortal home accordingly (ie, however it makes you happy).

      Life is messy and beautiful. Imposing drabness onto others is an affront to nature.
