So let your hair do it's "natural thing" and refrain from using hair spray and gel...Plausible, too much is vain, and yes, "too much" is subjective
God's creation smells bad under the arms...so don't alter it with deoterant...Plausible, same as above
God's creation was meant to be so tall and so big...so don't gain too much weight and wear shoes with heals...Weight = trouble, high heels - vain
God's creation was meant to be a certain color so don't tan...Plausible, same as make up
Don't cut your finger nails...Functionality
Don't wear eye glasses...Functionality
Don't put on a hearing aide...Functionality
I know these are extreme...but please show us where the bible declares that "altering God's creation" is a spiritual event when it is not done as a part of idol worship and withcraft.

Yes, indeed extreme...but,
A tattoo is a label, an identifier...an outward expression of inner thought and spirituallity...and doesn't the Bible say that beauty should be inward, not outward (
I Peter 3)?
