Body modification


This lecture i thought was interesting. As before this lecture if someone had asked me about what body modification was, i would have said that it was someone who has a tattoo because they either want to keep up with fashion and/or there gang/cult. However i found the part about the Maori the most interesting. The reason being that the Maori don't just have tattoo's for fun/decoration etc. but they actually use them as a way of identifying people and each swirl represents a part of that persons life.
