Body Modification Topic (non tattoo)

sorry don't mean to piss on your thread or anything. body mods aren't my thing, each to their own, yes, but i saw that guys face and just had to vent. impressionable kids might be reading! :p

Just for full disclosure, i think there may have been a spiritual reason for the work, the thing on his forehead is called the Buddha's path and represents the Buddha's path to enlightenment. the bit on his cheek is the Sayagata it's a piece of Indian scared geometry that was then used as a Japanese textile pattern a few thousand years ago.

not too sure, as the shop itself is famed for sacred geometry and also has a very spiritual slant to it. He may have just commissioned the shapes without knowing the significance of them. but i doubt it.
