DO NOT READ THIS if you have a weak stomach, a weak heart, or weak bowels. Do not read this if you are eating, or have eaten, or plan to eat anything ever again. Do not read this if you are considering doing something stupid to your own body, as I do not want to be held responsible. (But if you've already had it done, and it was a good experience, tell us the story and let us know where!) And of course, if you know someone who has done something horrifically stupid to themselves, please post their photo here so the rest of us can be appropriately grossed out. Eeeew!
Body Modification
Wikipedia defines body modification as “the deliberate altering of the human body for non-medical reasons”. If you’ve had your ears pierced, you’ve engaged in body modification.
Some people like to go a little farther. And fortunately (or unfortunately) for us, they sometimes take photos. Whatever your personal take on tattoos, piercings, scarification, microdermals, or anything else, here’s your opportunity to share it with the rest of us.
Swedish Medical Center
1221 Madison St, Seattle, WA 98104
I’m not saying anything will go wrong, just be sure you know where to go if it does.

If you’re going to bleed, why not do it for a good cause?

DIY
I knew a girl who had a little tattoo of a heart on her hand. When I asked her the story behind it, she told me she did it herself. Do-it-yourself tattoos definitely double the cool factor.
Seattle Tattoo Emporium
1106 Pike St, Seattle, WA 98101
Established in 1941, this is the longest continuously run tattoo shop in the nation.

If you’re having second thoughts about sticking pieces of metal through your skin, perhaps you should just get a Sharpie and go to town.

Subdermal implants are also known as 3-D implants or pocketing. Stay away from really strong magnets.

If this is what it meant to be suspended back in middle school, I would never, ever, ever have skipped class.
University of Washington Pain Center
4245 Roosevelt Way Ne, Seattle, WA 98105
Would you believe that some people actually try to avoid pain?

Some people claim that suspension allows them to reach a higher level of consciousness. It may also be done for ritual purposes, as an art form, or simply just for fun.
On splinters
Back when I was little, if I got a splinter I would find a pair of tweezers and pull it out. These are the people who looked for a bigger piece of wood to push in after it.
Circumcision
Yes, circumcision qualifies as body modification. Did you know that just a decade ago, 30% of doctors used no anesthetic for the procedure? Whether you’re for or against the procedure, today’s newborns should be grateful that we live in more enlightened times.
Apocalypse Tattoo
1556 E Olive Way, Seattle, WA 98102

To think that my mother was so mad at me back when I got my belly button pierced in 1994.
