Bodymods

Body modification is a misunderstood term. Indeed it encompasses the entire range of image alterations, from simple cosmetics to plastic surgery. We strive to make ourselves presentable, unique, attractive ... How we do so is a very personal choice. Some choose a wardrobe, others will decorate with jewelry. Some choose to drape, others choose a more permanent presentation like piercing or tattooing. Hairstyles, fashion choices, exercise regimens and surgery all are used to alter our appearance, and to make us feel better about ourselves.

Featured Book - Return of the Tribal

The Return of the Tribal by Rufus Camphausen attempts to look at all types of body adornment from tribal to urban, from piercing to body painting, from scarification to tattoos, and from genital mutilation to structural modifications of the ears, legs & neck. And it does so with a cornucopia of full-color photos presented alongside a very readable text. This may well be the best book of its kind currently available.
