Body Modification

Body modification refers to the deliberate alteration of the human body for non-medical reasons. This can include practices such as tattoos, piercings, and body implants, as well as more extreme changes like surgical procedures. People may choose body modification for various reasons, including self-expression, cultural identity, or aesthetic preferences. It has been practiced throughout history across different cultures and can carry personal, social, or spiritual significance. While generally safe when done responsibly, body modification can pose health risks if performed without proper hygiene or care. Each individual's motivations and choices regarding body modification are deeply personal.
