Perception of intentional modifications in body image

The objective of this study was to determine whether adolescents at the Carlos Arturo Torres IED School in Bogot perceived that making intentional modifications to their body image, understood as the use of tattoos, piercings, expanders and makeup, would give them a sexually attractive image. For this purpose, we took as a frame of reference the institutional context, the definitions that specialized authors have given to the concepts of sexuality, body, image, attraction, body modifications, adolescence, and the research and studies that addressed the topics of body, human sexuality and body modifications.
