The present study sought to investigate, according to the conception of identities somatic (ORTEGA, 2008), the constitution of subjectivity from the adherents of extreme body modification practices such as tattooing, piercing, scarification, body suspension, among others, concerning the movement of Body Modification. Every age produces a type of body that synthesizes the beauty ideals and values of a society. Recognizing that the supporters of such practices have a body of divergent patterns found in Western society, we tried to reflect not only on the effects of these practices in these individuals, but also about their consequences in society. Sought to identify also the main spreaders of such vehicles as they practice and the socialization of these individuals. For this purpose, presented the main theories about the cultural and symbolic body, identity and subjectivity in the news, as well as a historical background of the rise of the movement of body modification and its specificities. Besides, presented the main aspects on ethnographic research with supporters of these practices in Goiânia. Based on the premise presented by Ortega (2008), that contemporary identities are represented in the body, this movement is valued by the author as a new form of subjectivity and identity, which seeks to find herself in their body image and in its trappings, finding in radical media (DOWNING, 2001) its main propagator.
