It's Hard To Understand Why These People Did This

It's Hard To Understand Why These People Did This to Their Bodies...For Fun: 

For many people, body modification is a way of life. In the same way sports fanatics live and breathe football or baseball, an equally large number of people live and breathe body modification. In many ways, body modification is an art form. However, it can be shocking to the uninitiated, especially the more extreme forms of modification.

You might be forgiven for doing a double take if you see any of these 15 people on the street. Their modifications are shocking, but somehow incredibly beautiful at the same time. 

I know your initial reaction to these photos might be one of disgust and general "OMG Why?!" However, it's important to remember there is a person just like you or me behind the piercings and body mods. When it comes to extreme body modification, I think my grandfather put it best: "To each their own."
