5.0 out of 5 stars a great all-rounder, 7 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I am a body piercer and my husbnd is a tattoo artist, both of us found this book to be a wealth of knowledge. It is really informative, explanitory and open.
This is a must have for professionals and enthusiasts alike, and is even a fantastic starting block for new comers to the world of body modification.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helps a lot, 16 May 1998
By A Customer
I think this is the best book to get if you are planning on getting tattoos and or piercing. I was unsure of what to expect when I got my first tattoo so I waited until I had a little bit more information. I picked up this book at the book store and read the book. It had everything you needed to know about what to expect when getting a tattoo or piercing. Also, it talked about symbolism, history, and even the aftercare of tattoos and piercings. I was convinced after reading this book to get my first tattoo, a virgo symbol. This became addicting as I now have 4 tattoos in all with plans to get more work done. Also, until I read this book, I have never even considered body piercing. I now have my second earlobe holes, cartilage, tongue, navel, and a clit hood piercing. I am very satisfied with the results. I highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very informative!, 5 April 1999
By A Customer
After buying this book, I read it front to back, several times over. It explains just about every form of body art. Its a great book for the beginner to learn more about tattooing and piercing.
