The only reason to buy the book is the list of suppliers in the back. The only list I've found so far for paints which are safe for use on skin.

I found this book disapointing.
The photos are beautiful, but too much space is used on 'lick-and-stick' tatoos. One was more than enough.
If you can't figure out how to apply them from the instuctions on the card, you have a problem...

More images of body paint or henna would have been appropriate.

The book also promised tips on makeup and hair, I found the styles mundane and the instructions mediocre .

If you are a teenage girl looking for a way to shock your parents, this book will definately assist you. Or, if you live in a trailer park, this is the book for you. Not a good book for a person who takes thier tattoos and peircings serious. The book was serious and trivial, but in all seriousness I am sure most high school girls would love it -- OK, at least the "bad" girls.

This book shows examples of diverse range of body art which is available. It is divided into a number of distinct areas which include tattoos, henna, nail art, bindi, body jewels, body paint, hair design and piercing. The body art on display covers small areas of the body, such as, the face, eyes, belly button, shoulder, wrist, etc.

The cover photo immortalizes the teen-glitter-glam pop princess overkill look of the late '90s. Unfortunately, most of the inside isn't that glamorous, featuring a number of body-art ideas that are unlikely to appeal to even the most fearless fashion experimenters (barcode temporary tattoos? yuck!). Still, some of the tips are informative, and some of the photos are cute enough to appeal to Spicemania nostalgists. Probably a good stocking-stuffer for younger teens who are uninhibited by notions of good taste.

This book was pretty cool it showed me how to do all these things with my hair you know new and modern kinda stuff I liked that part. It also gave me some tips on piercing stuff on my own some sterilization tecniques and stuff that was a life saver cause I didn't get an infection. it also tells you how to draw those awsome designs on your hands and draw little forehead orniments. I gave this book only 4 stars cause some of the intstructions are confusing.
