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.
Blackstar
Roger (Blackstar) has been doing body piercing since 1982. A biochemist, he has been responsible for development and refinement of many of the piercing techniques in common use today. He also developed the first public health protocols for piercing studios, originally for the Regional Municipality of Ottawa-Carleton, which were later adopted by the Regional Municipality of Waterloo and the Greater Toronto Area. These protocols formed the basis of the 1998 Guidelines for Personal Service Workers in Ontario.
