We've published an innumerable amount of features on freaky piercings, body modifications and tattoos, but this array of multifunctional body modifications clusters these innovations in a way you might not have seen.
Each of these piercings, tattoos and body modifications has more than one purpose. There's the artistic expression, of course, but there's also something else. Whether it's connect-the-dots tattoos that are instant time-wasters on long plane rides, large-gauge nose piercings that double as effective knife holders or tattooed magazine issues, these multifunctional body modifications are as incredible as they are unusual.
