Religiously are we deforming GOD'S creation or is it something acceptable.

if so, then so is over-eating, under-eating, substance abuse, dying hair, dressing in a way that will cause the opposite sex to lust after us (knowingly causing someone else to sin is wrong too), piercing ears or any other body parts, shaving legs etc, cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics, modern medicine, the list can go on and on. We like to do things to make ourselves feel attractive. Even just putting on an outfit we like can fall into that category. We all abuse or alter our bodies in some way. I dont know that the bible ever refers to these things as specifically wrong. If we arent intentionally hurting ourselves or anyone else, whats the problem. i have a tattoo and a piercing that are always covered by my clothes. vanity? no, because they are unseen. i just like them. just like you may have a shirt you feel really great in. my form of adornment is just more permanent. we will all get new bodies in the after-life. i believe he is more concerned about our souls than our bodies, so as long as our reasons for what we do are pure, than i would conclude that its ok.

Yes and no at the same time. What if someone had their face burnt in a fire? I think it would be acceptable to get some type of surgery to fix it. But if you're a rich, wealthy and a perfectly healthy person wouldn't you want to spend that money on something more important. How about donate it to a fund for starving children or a cure for a certain disease? Tattoos can be acceptable in certain situations...Imagine that you are in the military or something of that likes, what would people identify you by if your body ever shown up somewhere? Although God forbid this from happening. People don't even need all that expensive stuff to look beautiful. Beauty comes from personality and actions. Anyone can beautiful if they are kind, generous, and happy.

Good question!
If God gave us "freedom of will" and our body is our own....then in my opinion, it's a personal choice to alter our bodies. Nobody else has the right to tell us what clothes to wear or how to cut our hair, so we should have the right to alter our bodies as we choose.
Or would someone say that having a cancerous body part cut out is also....deforming God's creation. I'm not sure where the line should be drawn.

I am not a christian however in the bible in Leviticus 19-20 it says "do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on your selves. I am the Lord."
So therefor it looks like tattoos are a sin.
I don't belive in that but that is what it says under the "various Laws" section.

a caesarian section is supposed to be a sin in god's sight.. he(god) meant for the mother and the child to die but humans always play god and save their lives instead.
