These days they can do quite a bit to help.

Can you imagine what people’s hair color would look like if Jesus had purple hair? There would be a lot more people running around with purple hair. In a similar vein, wonder why long hair on males didn’t catch on though? Too much fuss.

Voluntary body alterations?

I have two mechanical hear valves, a synthetic piece of aorta, a synthetic patch between my ventricles. and two anchors and a screw in my left thumb.

They have made me better. Better. Faster. Stronger.

Not meaty, beady, big, and bouncy?

We can do it. We have the technology.

My mind, like, pretty far-out, man. And in my mind - there is a rainbow of color in my hair, and many piercings, and tattoos

ive always thought of getting a couple tattoos. in like a crusty, punk rock kinda way. but maybe a little artsy. my maternal grandfather (a Mexican) raised the family on a business he owned, a fine men's wear store for tailored suits and that kind of thing. the logo of the store was Picasso's Don Quixote scribble. Wouldn't that make a cool tattoo? Is it too late to start at 39?

I have never seen a tattoo that looks good.

I consider those involuntary alterations.

Cities with the most plastic surgeons per capita:

Did not expect this: LA doesn't even crack the top 40.

What about replacing a missing tooth?

That's borderline, unless you knocked out the tooth intentionally, just so you could replace it.

My large amount of belly fat is arguably voluntary.

A friend sent me pictures from an old club page that I thought was closed. Lots of pics with me in them. Here, I'm in front of the typical large Sunday group.

I don't think a picture that is made to fit within the limits of a rectangle lends itself to body art, since bodies aren't shaped like that. Well, MOST bodies aren't. Maybe just get a nice framed print of it instead.

agreed, would leave out Sancho Panza, the windmills and the sun. so just Don Quixote on the horse. that is what the logo was to my abuelo's store.

I would consider a permanent cat 6 chainring tattoo for my right calf.

undesirable

That's reserved for the Who.

What?

Prefer to wax.

If it is a small number of teeth you don't "need" them to survive. Voluntary.

Let your chain get real dirty, then have an accident where the teeth dig into your flesh deep enough that the dirt doesn't grow out with the skin. Voila! I have one from a pencil point that got stabbed into my hand in high school, so >50 years ago.
