Photo @Cory Richards Body modification is a global phenomenon that is as old as we are. It's manifestations are numerous and commonly include piercing, tattooing, branding, circumcision, and scarring, among many others. The catalysts for modifications are nearly as numerous as the practices themselves and range from cultural to religious to psychological. The acceptance and/or rejection of the type of alteration is almost entirely dependent on the societal/social context of the observer. While one type is often readily accepted in one culture (think ear piercing and circumcision) others are rejected and judged (eyeball tattooing) while still others are celebrated as the beautiful and exotic 'other' (lip plugs of the Mursi)

One of the most common is Tattooing. "Tattooing has been practiced across the globe since at least Neolithic times, as evidenced by mummified preserved skin, ancient art, and the archaeological record. Both ancient art and archaeological finds of possible tattoo tools suggest tattooing was practiced during the Upper Paleolithic period in Europe. However, direct evidence for tattooing on mummified human skin extends only to the 4th millennium BC. The oldest discovery of tattooed human skin to date is found on the body of Ötzi the Iceman, dating to between 3370 and 3100 BC. Other tattooed mummies have been recovered from at least 49 archaeological sites including locations in Greenland, Alaska, Siberia, Mongolia, western China, Egypt, Sudan, the Philippines, and the Andes. These include Amunet, Priestess of the Goddess Hathor from ancient Egypt (ca. 2134-1991 BC), multiple mummies from Siberia including the Pazyryk culture of Russia, and from several cultures throughout pre-Colombian South America."
