Body Modification is about changing the body from its natural state. People choose to modify their body for various reasons for example to look nice, religious reasons, fashion etc. I would not have linked body modification with religion but as I have learnt, body modification can be a part of a person's religion for example, circumcision. I related body modification to changing the body for example tatoo's and piercing and as I have learnt there is more to it. Plastic surgery can also be apart of body modification because you may be changing what you have. People choose to modify their body for a various reasons, however sometimes it can cause infections which can also lead to death. People who choose to modify their body may sometimes be forced or it may be their own choice. Modifying the body like tatoo's can look nice but can be painful also. It should be a individuals choice if they want to change their body, as they shoud be aware of the risks involved.

This sit mainly talks about piercings and tattoo's. It gives the view of a lady who has a forked tongue which i think is useful as it gives her opinions, which when people read, it can help them understand and decide independently

Although, I agree with some of what you point out I think that people who do not like themselves etc should just resort to body modification they should try on work on loving themselves. Is this a weak point of body modifications such as piecing as it creates a false happiness when happiness should first come from within? You say people should have a chose but do think there should be an age restriction to that? I don't think people have body modifications just to look nice but has a much larger statement to make. Some people go 'over the top' with modifications to put a middle finger up to mainstream society especially to those Barbie and Ken wannabes. People also have body modifications without chose for instance circumcision is practiced in Islam and Judaism.
