Identity Decore

Tattoos, piercings, accessories and hair styles – do these things reflect our identity or do we use them to create our identity? A chicken or the egg scenario you might say. My guess is that you’d argue quite strongly that how you dress and present yourself is a direct reflection of your identity, and that this identity is intrinsic to you. I would agree that our characters or natures are innate to us to a certain extent – but why is it necessary to present ourselves in a certain way to reflect and communicate that identity? And is the way you present yourself a reflection of who you are, or who you would like to be?
