Synopsis

EVERY ARTIST NEEDS A CANVAS.
FOR STEVE HAWORTH, IT'S HUMAN FLESH.

He's one of the most controversial practitioners in the world of radical body modification. He sculpts Teflon and stainless steel implants into horns, stars, and other objects, then surgically places them under people's skin. Some of the most extreme looking people in the world have spent time under Haworth's knife. They're people who've become bored with even full-body tattoos and piercings. They're people willing to endure the pain. They're people like David, who's on a quest to cover himself with stainless steel objects that are not only ornamental, but can be screwed in and out of his body.

Haworth is not a doctor and must struggle to keep it legal. Yet he spawned a world-wide subculture fixated on his surgical artistry, all performed in his Phoenix, Arizona home. Some come for a sexual charge, some for the pain, and many just to be different. A few may be in over their heads. "Flesh and Blood" is an unflinching glimpse into an intense and mysterious world Haworth helped to create, and the obsessed people who inhabit it.
