Getting dumb marvel shit or a slice of pineapple pizza for the meme is obviously a mark of someone who would be weeded out of the genepool in a less comfortable time. On the other hand, just the same way as we use sacred iconography to adorn temples, churches, cathedrals, even sacred stone circles, etc., one can decorate one's body with sacred or ideological imagery to make a temple out of it.
If you're into esoteric /x/-shit, then putting a symbol on yourself permanently (and the pain and blood involved makes it a ritual as well) infuses youw ith some of its essence. I have two runes, a Virgin Mary, a Christ the King, and next month I'm getting Black Sun
