Can receiving Tattoos or Piercings be a Spiritual experience?
It can and for many people it is, but for many others it has no significance at all. Sometimes people get pierced to reclaim themselves (refer to question #65) in these cases the piercing experience itself can be very spiritually significant. It lets the light in and allows the darkness, pain, fear, anger etc. out. This for some people can be very healing. Some people receiving body art go into a meditative state which can be very cleansing to ones soul.
