2007-02-27 Loved this book

As a keen photographer and body art enthusiast, I bought this book mainly for the pictures. I wasnt disappointed. The pictures are beautifully posed, in black and white/monochrome,featuring all sort of piercings and a range of tattoos. Next to the pictures are small paragraphs from the people in the pictures, explaining why they had their modifications. If you want a reference book its probably not your thing, as the text isnt particulaly informative, but from an art perspective, highly recommended.
