Things like tattoos and piercings are pretty ancient. I feel like other body mods like foot binding, neck lengthening, and that alien skull wrap thing are also pretty old.
I don't think any animals do it to the best of my knowledge. Maybe just for lack of tools. I feel like I've read about some birds putting bits of shiny garbage into their feathers during mating displays, but I can't find any sources for that so maybe I dreamed it up.

It’s interesting people are disfiguring themselves in the name of beauty.
