FLESH & BLOOD is a fascinating insight into the world of body modification, specifically extreme body mods like sub-dermal implants and the world of hook suspension.

Take a penetrating look at the fascinating career of controversial body modification artist Steve Haworth as he literally gets under the skin of his customers, surgically implanting metal ornaments onto their bodies without the use of anesthesia. Clearly not intended for the squeamish or faint of heart, this graphic documentary delves into the reasons why people from all over the world want to change their appearance so radically.

For me the highlight is the interviews and sections about Steve Haworth, a man who has pretty much pioneered and developed what he refers to as three dimensional body art.

While I could never do this to myself, I highly respect those who dedicate their bodies to becoming living canvases for art. I'm definitely a transhumanist and want to see mankind take control of his biological advancements through technology. Things like this are the "artsy" side to my cold, calculating science.
