Modify


Modify was a decent documentary about body modification.
I liked that those interviewed brought up the fact that a simple hair cut or a trip to the tanning bed is technically body modification. Its all part of a spectrum from hair cut to piercing to tattooing to implants to amputation.
Speaking of amputations, its the only thing that was mentioned repeatedly in the documentary that wasn't shown.
I recommend it for anyone who is interested in body modification in the point of view of anthropology or research.

  2. If you like body-mod documentaries, you might want to check out "Flesh and Blood", which is also on the Netflix watch instantly. It focuses a lot, towards the end, on hook suspension, but it's pretty interesting, and looks at some kink-aspects of it, too ^_^
