Church of Body Modifications, originally uploaded by ghewgill.

This isn't a photoshopped fake--there really is a Church of Body Modification. Its aim: to connect the body modification community (e.g., people with skin piercings) to its spiritual roots in ancient rites of passage. The Church has even been a factor in a religious freedom lawsuit, which the believer lost. For more on the tension between prevailing standards and the younger generation, check out this news article on body piercing in the workplance.
