Body modification is sometimes seen as a form of Self-Mutilation, but it is just as often held up as an example of self-expression. Body modification is an ancient tradition in many cultures. It can have a special significance for many people. Take my story for an example. body modification has helped me reclaim my body after sexual assault and depression. It allowed me the opportunity to reinvent myself. I didn't go overboard. In fact most people never even notice my piercings ass they are fairly discrete. Body modification can be a matter of contention in certain places. Body modification is transforming of the general human body make-up for a variety of reasons.

Body modification has been significant parts of human culture as far back as records indicate. Body modification is just a way for people to look how they wish to look which is no doubt why it has exploded into a new generation, and with it comes many controversies. Piercings that were once considered tribal or barbaric are now part of mainstream culture. Piercings can be stretched and enlarged over time by increasing the gauge, or size, of the piercing needle and jewelry. Piercings can attract the opposite sex and appear attractive to others in general. Piercings are removable - but tend to leave scars.

Piercings are often seen as a way to attract the opposite sex, and many have sexual connotations. One such piercing is the nipple. The nipple is a popular choice because it is fleshy enough to pierce securely behind plenty of skin to prevent rejection . Nipple piercing is a piercing, centered usually at the base of the nipple.
