FTAOD I was thinking of intentional cosmetic modifications, but feel free to tell me about your neural jacks, consensual alien parasites, nanotech imune system upgrades, etc.

getting my tragus pierced

An odd thing I notice about body piercing is that more than any other phenomenon in the world it causes me to learn the names of body parts I hadn't previously known. It's just caused me to look up "tragus" on Wikipedia, and it was another person talking about piercings a couple of years ago who caused me to look up where one's septum might be. Piercers and piercees seem to be the only people (other than, I must presume, those in the medical profession) with a serious need to identify such bits of the body with more precision and efficiency than "that bobbly bit at the front of your ear" :-)
