So far, in regards to my paper, I've done some research. Library visits have gotten me some valuable information about my topic of body modifiers. Since there are so many types of body modifiers, I chose to just stick with tattoos and piercings. Those are the more common and easily accessable in terms of people who have them. I also visited a tattoo parlor (they also perform piercings) and observed. I was able to fit in a quick interview with a patron that was in the waiting room of the parlor. I still have to narrow down EXACTLY what I'm going to try and claim in my paper. I'm getting there though and by the end of this weekend, I'll have the five page draft complete. On Monday, I intend to ask my peer review group if my claim is a valid one and if they can see a good amount of support so far.
