Modern primitive

Scarification is one form of modern Western body modification, allegedly derived from what adherents consider "traditional", non-Western cultures.
Facial piercings and facial tattoos are popular among those who see themselves as outsiders to mainstream Western society.

Modern primitives or urban primitives are adherents of an alternative subculture in developed, Western countries who engage in body modification rituals and practices inspired by the ceremonies, rites of passage, or bodily ornamentation in what they consider "traditional", non-Western cultures. These practices may include body piercing, tattooing, play piercing, flesh hook suspension, corset training, scarification, branding, penile subincision, and cutting.
