Here are 16 takes on the way people use their skin for different purposes. From fake skin bodysuits and faux skin sinks, to skin lacing and celebrity skin campaigns, there are many ways to use your skin (other than to hold your body together).
Explore the many ways in which skin is useful by looking through this somewhat creepy cluster of human skinnovations.
Implications - From skin-matching skivvies to fake skin bodysuits, skinnovations apply to the category of body modification. Those interested in body modification have a specific look that they want to project through their image. By using ideas such as skin burn couture, the target audience is able to modify their body in whichever way they desire.
