I suppose the next 'beauty' trend will be suing the company because the dye irritated their pit skin.

I think it's whimsical & a fun mode of expression. Who cares what other people do?

Shaving leg and armpit hair is entirely a construct of razor companies in the 1920s or 30s. Very successful marketing, that.

on that sensitive skin???

"'I began by mixing bleach and 30 volume developer. I knew I needed something strong enough to cut through that coarse hair and lighten it up as much as possible, but I didn't want to use 40 volume because I didn't want to cause any uncomfortable burning on the delicate skin in her pits."

(from your link)

i would think you could really fuck up your sweat glands by bleaching & dying the hair.
