got like 20 h in game <| sep |> That ' s the only way I have been able to describe it myself . It ' s pure insanity . I ' ve heard cognitive dissonance thrown around a lot to describe these people . And here it is clear as day . The people running this site and modding the default subs wanna have their cake and eat it too . <| sep |> Don ' t do anything rash you say ? Big mom wants to open Tamatebako Box infront of everyone at Tea Party , That ' ll be fun . <| sep |> Up to a certain size , the bodies immune system treats piercings like any other infectionLike you said , up to a certain size . Many piercings can be permanent . Also , tattoo removal is not perfect . When they clear out the ink from the pigmentation , the natural pigment also seems to be affected so that the result of tattoo removal is that there is still a scar of the tattoo left over . So here are the choices . IMO , the choices you list are incomplete . There is a big difference between medical alterations and aesthetic alterations . As Sikhs we take care of the body we are given and so if we need to make a medical alteration that will help us in living in the world and making it a better place then we should go ahead with that . But aesthetic alterations such as tattoos and piercings have no function other than to beautify the body . IMO , these just leads to greater attachment to the ego as a separate , permanent thing . IMHO , Waheguru would like us to be the best we can beI agree , but I don ' t see how tattoos and piercings make you a better person . On the other hand , medical surgeries can help you be better by letting you live and therefore do seva of the world and of Waheguru . Also . my piercings , tattoos and scars are all like pages in a story book to me . I can point to one or another and say this is here because . IMO , this is an example of how tattoos and piercings reinforce the ego . Why are you trying to hold on to your paststory . One day it all goes away and won ' t matter . Why hold on to that delusionmaya ? What purpose does it serve ? If anything , your story is in your identity no tattoos required and in the minds of those you love and know . Once you and your loved ones depart from your bodies so will your story . the tattoos won ' t keep it alive . That being said , I agree with you that Waheguru does not care if you have tattoos or not . But if we want to merge with Waheguru , we are told by our Guru to let go of our IamnessHaumai and submit to Waheguru ' s Hukam . Second Pauri of Japji Sahib All are within Hukam , none are outside Hukam . O Nanak , one who realizes Hukam , does not speak of Haumai Iam . 2 From a Sikh perspective , you have to ask yourself do my tattoos and piercings increase or decrease my Haumai ? At the end , only you can answer the question . but be truthful to yourself .
