The images in this gallery come from a really interesting article on future body modifications, a field which is moving forward at great speed.
Ears implanted onto arms, suspension play (in which you are hung from hooks implanted in your flesh) and robotic arms are all featured. What is really interesting, however, is how the subculture of the body modification scene works in almost perfect harmony alongside the scientists pioneering medical and technological advances.
It is all fascinating, especially the way scientists are aiming to link a rat's brain to a robot's body and manipulating the brain to guide the tiny animal cyborg.
