The documentary is about people who alter their bodies. Those who speak treat it as a way of living. Some see it as art and some do it to be seen. The film covers a very wide field. Tattoos and piercings are two of them. There are also custom designed pieces set into the body. The practice called suspension is covered too. In it a person is hung in the air from hooks. The documentary does not present these only as extreme cases. Cosmetic surgery and bodybuilding are drawn into the same frame. The comparison asks where the line actually is. Surgeons, tattooists and piercers speak. The people who went first in the field talk as well. More than thirty people appear in the film. Steve Haworth and Jim Ward speak in the eighty five minute documentary. It is an American production Jason Gary and Greg Jacobson finished in 2006.
