In order to help me define what body modification is, i found this definition from wikipedia.
'Body modification (or body alteration) is the permanent or semi-permanent deliberate altering of the human body for non-medical reasons, such as: sexual enhancement; a rite of passage; aesthetic reasons; denoting affiliation, trust and loyalty; religious reasons; mystical affiliations; shock value; and self-expression. It can range from the socially acceptable decoration (e.g., pierced ears in many societies) to the religiously mandated (e.g., circumcision in a number of cultures), and everywhere in between'.
Body modification, if seen as an art, is looked upon for it aesthetic appeal, just like a painting or textile art. Maybe it more of a wearable art, in a direct response to your body, if your into that sort of thing of course.

Whilst researching Body modification, i came across this website (www.thehumanmarvels.com) It presents eccentric human beings that have completely modified and changed themselves. I think its really quite odd, especially this guy in the image below. In my opinion, he looks like something from a horror film.
