Body Modification to the Extreme

Where people want to enhance on the human body or use it to illustrate it as a piece of art is entitled to do so. But it is when the body is being modified to an extent where it is no longer "normal" that I don't understand why someone would want to modify their body in a way where it no longer takes the natural form. For example the human body is not designed to have horns or have bones implanted so that they are noticable. The human body is also not designed to have two tongues or have the entire face covered in piercings. By taking part in such modifications I feel changes the identity of people. I also don't agree with some cultures where certain traditions take place for example tribal people with their tattoos on the face and the chinese with the bounding of the feet. But these cultures have there own reasons for putting such ideas into place. I feel that as they are told from early on that this particular thing is the very thing which will make you more attractive then it is hard for some individuals to know any different. It is true that what one person might consider as being beautiful someone else might not and I guess everyone's body is their own to do as they please.
