Your Body is Not a Piece of Paper Jae-Seok Park from Korea Photo: S. Peters My grandfather said, "If you want to have some tattoos done, please have them done on a paper, not on your body. Your body is not a piece of paper."   In my country, forms of body art such as tattoos, body painting, and piercings are not popular. Older generations, who are more old-fashioned, think people who have those things are rude and impolite. This is because they believe in Confucianism, and in Confucianism filial duty is very important. Moreover, in my culture, we must respect our parents. As our bodies come from our parents, we believe that we should keep our body pure. My grandfather said, "If you want to have some tattoos done, please have them done on a paper, not on your body.
