  Breast implants, acrylic fingernails, daily workouts at the gym as docile as this list may seem it has important ramifications regarding the outward expression of our internal selves to the rest of the world. When people alter their physical appearance, they are nonverbally trying to communicate something to the rest of society. Body-modification is the practice of altering ones physical appearance via piercings or tattoos. Although body-modifications are traditionally looked upon as eccentric, they are increasingly becoming fashionable adornments in today's western culture. In this study we are looking at what effects emotions have on the motivation for the acquisition of body-modifications.
