I cant believe how people who use body modification can take th pain they inflict on themselves. In the article about the implants in that man's head. They talk about how usually they dont use any numbing products. When I red that I cringed because we as a community can barely go without getting a cavity filled without it being numb. They are getting cuts into thier head nd inplants put in which stretches their skin and they are doing it fully conscious and can feel everything. This doesnt seem to make sense to me. The same thing goes for the different kinds of body modification we have studied. For example Weird peircings, branding, scarification, and more. These seem to be eally painful and extreme forms of changing yor body to stand out or fit in. It grosses me out to think that our society has done this to people, made them believe that they need to do these horrific things to make themselves part of something or to get away from the norm. I am just happy that I have a place where I can be myself and not have to worry about being judged, and that is in my home with my family.
