Body modification entry 2

May 6th 09.



Body modification.

Why would anyone want to permanently alter their appearance to look like this?

Normally when you think of body piercing, it would be the piercing of ears the most common one, but if you want to go a little further you may want to do your nose, navel, tongue lips and nipple. These type of piercings are generally the normal acceptable types of body piercing, these form of body modification are know as body art.

Other forms of body modification are usually due to cultural factors such as tribe engraving images of people, patterns, icon and animals on parts of the body as a part of ritual and commitment.

Other forms of modification can be seen as plastic surgery. Many people often women have plastic surgery in search of looking younger or creating the perfect body. Research shows that body modification can become addictive. People who start surgery often feel the need to have something else done for now step closer for their perfection.

If it makes them feel better within themselves then why not? Although sometimes body modification can look gruesome, its not immoral but can be imprudent and unhealthy.
