BODY-MODIFICATION

Body modification (English for “body alteration”, also abbreviated as “BodMod”; German: Körperschmuck) refers to a variety of alterations performed on the human body, today mostly carried out by specialized commercial providers.

In contrast to other forms of body design, which achieve changes through surface painting or training, body modifications involve invasive procedures that affect the substance of the human body (the skin, and in some cases underlying cartilage and fatty tissue) and result in permanent or difficult-to-reverse changes.

Body adornment includes tattoos, piercings, implants, as well as brandings, scarification, and other forms of decorative scarring. Body adornment can be considered a subcategory of body design. Today, however, the term is largely used for all body modifications (except tattoos).

THOUGHT-THROUGH DECISIONS

WHO ARE BODY MODIFICATIONS FOR?

We only perform body modifications in our studio from the age of 18.

Not every change is permanent, but it should be carefully considered. Some decisions alter the body forever and are often accompanied by a painful process.

If you are interested in a body modification, please read our information carefully in advance and, if necessary, schedule a consultation regarding the procedure, healing process, and possible consequences/complications.
