5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic photographic gallery of body piercings., September 5, 1999

This review is from: Body Piercing (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

This book contains a wonderful array of tasteful, artful and beautiful photographs of body piercings. The piercings range from the socially accepted ear lobe to the more confronting genital piercings, although all are presented with sensitivity and humour.

I absolutely loved this book for its sensible and not 'freakish' portrayal of body piercing. The authors see piercing as an art form, not a subculture for the lost generation. These pictures are the most expressive and appropriate I have seen of body art.

This book will be a welcome surprise for all fans of body piercing, whether already pierced or thinking about becoming adorned.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEAUTIFUL, August 23, 2000

This review is from: Body Piercing (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

this book is beautiful, nuff said, it is not "hard core" like alot of the piercing, body mod books out there, this one actually looks at it like a western tribal ritual. it doesnt follow the stereotypes of modern piercing being scary, or in bad taste, i think it compliments the piercing world rather well, and quite frankly, i am sick of seeing body art as some sort of a fetish, or a cry for help (As my mom used to say ;)) it portrays bodyart as i wish it to be known as, a body modification, something that makes body art more interesting, and pleasing to the eye. 5 stars from me, i am a piercer myself and i am not easily impressed. the book itself should not be mistaken for a referance book, it is strictly a photographic print book. just to let you know

1.0 out of 5 stars Ultra-glossy,airbrushed,bland,lifeless pics., October 18, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Body Piercing (Spanish and English Edition) (Paperback)

I've never been so disappointed in a book.I'm into body piercing/tattoo photography books,so I was excited about this one.But it turned out to be filled with nothing but sickeningly glossy,airbrushed,pretentiously "arty" close-ups of rather conventional facial piercings(for the most part).Boring,no edge whatsoever.If you want a few really cool books of this genre,check out Masters of Tattoo,The Customized Body,or color full pain.The Illustrated Woman is awesome,but you'll have to go directly to the publisher for that one.
