Body modifications—or body mods—cover a wide range of variations, from piercings and tattoos to implants and injections. Photographer Roger Kisby presents a series of images featuring women proudly sporting their stunning body mods.

Early this summer, Roger Kisby was strolling through Las Vegas when he stumbled upon an event organized by the Association of Professional Piercers—a conference of artists and an exhibition of their work. Although Kisby himself has neither tattoos nor piercings, he couldn't resist capturing beauty in various forms.

Kisby says he approached convention attendees and asked if he could take their photo.

"People were friendly and open about it," he says.

Many of them turned out to work in the body modification industry, such as tattoo or piercing parlors.

"I always love it when people aren't afraid to be themselves," says Kisby. "Especially when people like that, who in real life have to deal with various prejudices, come together. I feel incredibly warm when I see them enjoying being together."

Kisby made sure to capture attendees with a wide variety of tattoos, piercings, and other modifications to show that there wasn't a single type of person or style at the conference.

"I wanted to make sure I could showcase each unique individual in their own way," he says.

"The point of this project wasn't to point at people and say, 'Look at these weirdos,'" says Kisby. "My goal was to demonstrate that people who do piercings are genuinely passionate about it."
