Body Modification is changing of the body by various means and to varying degrees from it's natural original state to another. People around the world have been piercing, tattooing, and pianting their bodies for ages. Body piercing usually refers to the piercing of a part of the body for the purpose of wearing jewelry in the opening created. Some people tend to piercing for religious or other cultural reasons, while many individuals, choose to be pierced for spritual ornamental, or sexual reasons. I think tattooing is probably the most popular form of body. Tattoo is a puncture wound, made deep in your skin, that's filled with ink. I think many people prefer discreet designs that can be concealed for certain occasions. Body painting is worldwide, the most ancient and direct method of corporeal decoration. People paint their bodies for reasons of identification, ritual, or beauty.

i agree with what you have said, body modification can be part of being part of a group or being individual, tatoo's and piercings are the main forma of body modification, along with cutting, styling and dying of the hair. these forms of body modification are seen in this day and age as acceptable becuase so many people do it. i myself cut my hair regularly and have pierce my ears. however i agree with suman that some poeple tend to have tattoo's in discreet places so that they can be covered up as they can be inappropriate in thier design.
