About the book

The author shows how the global wave of enthusiasm for new body decoration is rooted in our past and examines its future direction. He analyses specific forms: the painted body, the tattooed, scarred, ornamented and hairy body, and explores and defines the main trends: the exotic body, artificial/natural body and the DIY body. The book also contains a practical advice section for anyone considering having a tattoo or piercing.
