Body fluids in art

Occasional use of body fluids such as blood, urine, feces, etc.

[1] Depicting objects of popular respect (religious subjects, flags, etc.)

in art which includes body fluids can trigger public protests due to such material's historic association with dirtiness.

[16] In addition to the obvious difficulties of preserving perishable material, there can be regulations complicating transport by rail, truck, or aircraft of liquid body fluids due to the fluids' possible classification as dangerous goods.

[17] The sale of blood art via eBay is prohibited as eBay prohibits the sale of body parts, and classifies blood art as falling under this heading.
