Body Modification is a worldwide phenomenon that has taken our culture by storm. Many desire to look different than others, to possess an outlandish standard to society's normal regulations and expectations. However body modification is not a recent phenomenon and has been practiced since ancient civilizations, as displayed by empires such as the Aztecs, Incas, and Mayans. Although body modification can come in simple examples, such as tattoos and piercings,, many desire to take it to a new level by completely changing their appearance. It's not unknown for some to have implants placed in their body, such as spikes and horns. Split tongues, amputation, limb replacement, teeth filing, and ear pointing are among the more common procedures.
