Controlling sensitive content
How the Sensitive Content setting changes the way body-modification content (scarification, implants, tongue splitting, and similar) appears for you across the app.
Settings → Sensitive Content controls how body-modification content — scarification, implants, tongue splitting, and similar — appears for you. You pick one of three levels; it takes effect everywhere body-modification content can show up.
The three levels
- Always Show — body-modification content appears normally, with no overlay.
- Blurred — content is covered with a dark overlay. Tap an individual post to reveal it. This is the level you start on.
- Hidden — the body-modification feed is hidden, and content is covered everywhere else.
Where the setting applies
Your choice covers the main feed, map clusters, studio team cards, and posts shared with you in messages. The one exception: if you open a body-modification practitioner's profile directly, their work always shows — going to their page is a clear choice to see it.
Under 18
If your birthdate puts you under 18, body-modification content is restricted and the setting is locked on the hidden level. It unlocks on your 18th birthday.
If you're a body-modification practitioner or studio
This setting doesn't appear for body-modification practitioners and studios — your own discipline's work always shows for you, so there's nothing to dial down.
Frequently asked questions
- I set it to Blurred but a practitioner's whole profile is uncovered. Is that a bug?
No. Opening a body-modification practitioner's profile directly always shows their work. The blur applies to feeds, the map, team cards, and shared messages — not to a profile you chose to visit.
- Can I turn the blur off completely?
Yes — choose Always Show. (This is only available once you're 18; under-18 accounts stay on the hidden level.)
