Body Modifications

This Is A Blog About A Subject Every One Always Talks About...

Body Modifications come in all shapes and forms.  some may think its just tattoos and piercings but you're far from correct, that's just two types.  there's plenty more...such as...

Neck Rings

This is a type of body modification where they form brass rings around your neck.  it may seem like it stretches ur neck but reality is, it actually pushes your shoulders down.  its pain every day and hard to sleep at night sometimes, but in their culture its beuaitufl.

Implants

Implants are pretty much silicone.  we all are familiar with implants in the chest area and many other places but we've taken it to another level.  people get horns in their head, studs on their arms, neck, legs.  every where!

Tattoos

Everyone now a days knows what a tattoo is.  still some are against them. thats their own choice.  not all tattoos represtent bad things or are scary.  a lot is beafutiful art like in the picture shown here. people say that they look for new ways of body modifying because everyone tattoos now.

 Scarification
Scarification is as simple in explanation it gets.  read it..scar...its all you need to know because its all it is. instead of a needle piercing you over and over with ink just get cut and have a scar of art work you want.

 Gauging

"streching ear lobes" Gauge's are the things in side the ear lobes making them strech bigger and bigger. theres not only streching your ear lobes but as well as your nose, mouth(lip), tounge, cheecks, pretty much almost everything. 









 Suspension

They put huge fish hooks in the determined spots that you want to be hung by.  most common is your back as shown in the picture.  its a way that some say helps them feel more powerful against pain.  some say it prepares them to face fear(s).  its stress relieving, fun, scary. 





Branding

Branding is like what they do to animals to give them their number/name.  except this branding you have the choice and have the say in what you want burned against your skin.  this woman has three lines as far as the eye can see.  many confuse the marks of scars and branding but they're not as similar.










Piercings

Piercings almost everyone knows what these are in todays lifestyle.  some easier to hide than others.  some more painful than others.  many people try to push the limit by finding new places safe to pierce.  as well as covering their entire body with piercings.
this piercing shown in the picture is called the "corset" piercing.  pretty much because it looks like a corset.  piercings use to seperate the society in a huge way but they've become so popular poeple have found newer ways to "stand out".



To conclude, these are pretty much just some of the body modifications people undergo almost everyday.  other stuff such as: plastic surgery, hair dyeing and, much more, they're all different ways we use to express our individuality.  some may stand out more than others but its not the main point.  the point is to be yourself, even if its taking extreem measures to look how you want to look.
