The more obscure forms of body modification


Quite a few people have had a standard piercing in the earlobe and probably quite a amount of us have had a piercing in additional parts of the body, but there are a number of people who have opted for more out-and-out extreme body modifications.
One such body modification is known as human branding and is the procedure in which a symbol, usually an emblem or decorative outline, is burned onto the surface of the skin, with the purpose that the resultant wound makes it permanent. This is procedure is carried out by using a red hot iron and it consequently uses the actual process of livestock branding on a persons body.


Another body modification that involves the skin is the sub-dermal implant and refers to a type of body jewelry that is positioned beneath the skin, consequently permitting the body to mend over the implant and producing a raised outline.

The tattooing of the eyeball has been with us for a longer than you might think, and in fact it originated in the 1800’s. It was frequently used to right defects in eyes and the process can be carried out with a customary tattooist’s needle. The eye is basically held exposed while the tincture, which is the actual type used in a normal tattoo, is inserted inside the eyeball.


An additional form of body modification that involves the eye is the implanting of jewelry in to the outer stratum of the eyeball and this is one body modification that I must admit I hadn’t been aware of before. It seems that it was first completed in the Holland and it has come to the United States in recent years.
These are just some of the more obscure kinds of body modification that people have been undertaking recently and they will continue to gain in popularity.
