Only three really interesting articles today and two of them are in German:

‘talented but tattooed’ discusses problems a young German job-seeker faces while sporting visible tattoos and applying for jobs.

‘Cult of the body or obsession with beauty?’ (the title may be somewhat loosely translated by yours truly) reminded me the ‘Modify’ movie as it also shows the whole body modification concept from more than just tattoo/piercing/scarification angles. Some interesting pictures of various forms of body modifications can be found here.
