Body Modification: A new Fashion Trend

When people hear the term "body modification" their minds often jump immediately to huge tattoos and seemingly wild piercings. They often overlook the fact that even a simple navel piercing or the ever popular breast augmentation is a form of body modification.

On the more extreme side of the spectrum, however, there are people who do prefer explicit ornaments as a way to express themselves. There are the standardbelly button rings andtongue rings, but there are also some more creative piercings. For example, dermal anchoring, like transdermal implants are pierced down into the skin to give the appearance that a small bead is simply resting on the skin.

In addition, people use stretching neck rings, get eyeball tattooing and even surgically split their tongues to achieve a lizard like appearance.

Some completely disapprove of any and all form of body modification. Many critics ask "what's the point?" In some cases, people wonder if someone with extreme body modification may suffer from Body Dysmorphic Disorder or BDD. This is an illness where a person perceives their appearance, or a specific aspect of their body as "bad" and goes to extreme measures to make it "good."

Be it good or bad, there are a number of individuals who have gained fame for their extreme or excessive body modification. For example, Rick Genest tattooed his entire head and torso to look like a human skeleton. Cindy Jackson claims to have more cosmetic plastic surgery than any other person in the world and Erik Sprague calls himself "The Lizardman" and has sharpened teeth, a full-body tattoo of green scales, a split tongue and even green inked lips
