Thanks for the gold ! <| sep |> So you still think the reasoning for kesh , etc . , wouldn ' t be that out of line with that of walking around naked in appreciation of the natural form , and the only thing barring us from actually doing so is social concerns ? My point is this . If it ' s just about ego , there are plenty of other things Sikhs do kundiya muchhan , fancy pagh stylesbana that equally bolster the ego . I don ' t think there is an expectation that Sikhs completely forgo all individuality in the name of dissolving the ego . Therefore , when it comes to tattoos , piercings , etc . , there should be a specific reason as to why these expressions of individuality are actually antithetical to Sikhi . The argument from natural form makes no sense to me . Is there actually a taboo on modifyingaltering the natural state of things and particularly the body within Sikhi in the first place ? People point to kesh , but there is a bevy of other reasons underlying that principle . I think the real reason most people are against tattoospiercings for SIkhs is because they look unsightly , and like I said , that ' s a reasonable answer in the name of maintaining a clear and dignified appearance . But this is disguised by wonton natural form answers , which are inherently unsatisfying and to my knowledge not rigorously supported by Sikh scripture .
