Why the massive increase in tattoos, piercings in the very modern era? Because the spirit of the age is materialism, and thus the mind/soul of those immersed in that spirit is on identification with the flesh, and to an unprecedented level. So the spirit tries to merge absolutely with the flesh. In the apparent absence of a higher spiritual reality, it tries to brand itself in the physical. The sense of higher or spiritual truth is intrinsic to us and so that powerful yearning for truth and union will be there, but here it attempts to fulfil itself with the flesh - in a time where the prevalent ethos informs there is nothing beyond flesh/matter. So here is where truth is attained.
Obviously I could go on alot on this, but this is the brutal shorthand.
