People who’ve become bored with traditional tattoos and piercings, flock to his Phoenix, Arizona home from around the world for procedures that for instance allow them to screw and unscrew stainless steel objects into their bodies. Flesh and Blood is a small glimpse into this world he helped to create. People come for a variety of reasons to be modified which Steve helps them achieve. Flesh and Blood is not just a freak show; it was shot over a 5 year period and covers 15 years of Haworth’s evolution as an artist.

It's such a wonderful thing to have the van Gogh of body modification in our backyard (Phoenix). I would love to see the entire film. If possible could you point me in the correct direction to get a hold of it?
One thing I have promised myself that I must do before I leave this world is be suspended by hooks in the back. You are the only one that I would look to for help in living that dream out. Thanks for the beautiful art. No matter What medium it's in It's is all art to me.
Keep up the great work

Wow! - intense, inspiring, truthful and human. Many aspire to dream while few make their dreams reality, fantastic!

Astonishing revelation about the true desires of individuality, freedom, and determination of the soul to escape from standard embodiment to share a passion of expression. It’s a beautiful thing…

You have achieved for some what no one else would dream of. You bring their dreams of what they can do with their body to life. You are a master of your craft and an amazing artist. Keep up the amazing work, never stop. It shouldn't ever be punishable to be an artist, flesh, paint, or clay. It is all the same.
