"This is by far the most well done Documentary about body modification.
A true work of art! All of the Stars in the movie really get to express
their true feelings on the topics of Modification v.s Mutilation,
Religion, the laws of body modification and addiction. This movie also
explores the underground world of extreme body art and everything from
Make-Up to gender Reassignment, Modify has it all!!!!!! Not to mention
an epic Soundtrack of all original material that really puts the cherry
on top of this Film. Modify is a must see for anyone who is even the
slightest bit intrigued by the many different types of body
modification. This one gets a Well Deserved 10!" according to a user
comment by blizzle818 @ http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455980/

Was in Lancaster County on Wednesday and stopped at Doc Holliday's
Steakhouse. Waiting for a friend to arrive, I spoke with the host
there. He asked how long I'd had my ears stretched. I told him since
2001 and briefly mentioned the dermal punch, Visual Addiction in
Carlisle and the artist, Nick Jarmalenko, who did the work. The host
talked about his piercings, a triple tongue piercing, double labret,
and more, and then told me about a DVD he'd purchased at a local tattoo
shop.

The film was Modify. I took his advice and drove over to Wade's
Tattooing & Body Piercing - http://www.wadestattooing.com/ - where I
purchased the DVD. The shop, at 7 South Prince Street, Lancaster, PA
17603, is tiny, but bright and beautifully set-up, huge window facing
the street, and their tattoo flash traditionally arranged on the walls
as well as display racks, but also - and this was a first for me -
available to search on a computer they had set up in the lobby area.
Sweet.

The DVD was on display in a jewelry case immediately as you enter the
shop. I paid the man twenty bucks for the DVD, but it could easily go
for double that amount, imo. About an hour and a half in length with,
as the user from IMDb website stated, an original soundtrack of
incredible music, interesting interviews, and amazing visuals.

A recent thread on tattoo laser removal came to mind as I watched the
section on the DVD showcasing Masuimi Max. Apparently she had a demon
removed from her belly and a widow's peak tattoo removed from her
forehead. Both tattoos are, what I'd call, completely gone without a
trace. Imo, for anyone interested in effective laser tattoo removal,
researching what procedure she had done or technique she pursued would
be an excellent step to take.

Modification covers a lot of ground and one of my interests, besides
tattoos and piercings, bodybuilding is mentioned in the course of the
film. Former pro bodybuilder Mike Morris represents the bodybuilders
well in this film offering his perspective on the sport as it relates
to body modification.

Jen Davis is shown working on a stunning tattoo. Her interview is
genuine and touching. As are all the interviews. My favorite segments
include everything with Steve Haworth, plus Trigger, Jim Ward, and Drs.
Gary Alter (appropriately named) and Julio Garcia. Bear and Zulu kick
ass! And the Lizardman is in there, too. His quote on getting a beer at
3 o'clock on a Sunday afternoon is worth the price of admission to this
movie!

If you've seen this film then I suspect you agree that it's enjoyable,
entertaining, and informative - definitely one to watch again.
Rapid-fire presentation with some too brief interviews as this DVD
covers a ton of ground in just a short period of time. If you've never
heard of it and have the opportunity to check it out, I'll recommend it
strongly just like the host from the steakhouse did. Pick it up. You
will love it.

Interestingly, at least half of the interview material in Modify were
on the spot satires, spoken by interviewees who thought the entire reason
for doing the "documentary" in the first place was a bunch of hippie
bullshit.

Its a HORRIBLE documentary in the mind of anyone who has experience or
at least connections in the industry. At best, it's got moments of
minor clarity wherein the subject makes itself ironically clear, such
as when Steve Haworth claims that he's not into self promotion, but most
of it is just awful.

And Curt, youre still a motherfucking idiot who has no business on RAB
at all, and never, ever did.
