Body piercings can be placed almost everywhere on the body from the genital area up to the eyebrows. Some of the most non-conformist piercings of today are the corset piercings, nipple piercings, hip piercings, etc. For the sensitive ones the area of where the piercing is to be performed can be numbed.

Scarring

Scarring is considered to be one of the most radical body art types due to the method used to obtain the desired result. It is absolutely amazing to observe how hot metal can scar the skin, how the scarring artists carve the skin and what people are willing to go through to obtain their scar. The results are quite spectacular but definitely not for everyone.

Implants

Implants are performed by placing different objects like beads or saline bags under the skin. This is a relatively new technique that is not for everyone as the result can be quite shocking. Implants can be placed on different parts of the body from the facial area towards the legs, depending on personal preference.
