Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)...of many recent books on body modification and the attendant culture. Probably the best follow-up to "RE/Search 12: Modern Primitives" in its respectful and knowledgeable approach. Exquisite black and whitephotos of beautifully adorned men and women, revealing themselves in everyway: their desire for freedom and transformation, their sometimes troubledhistories, their quest for new identities or for exploring their old ones.I used to work in an independent bookstore whose owner would get upset withme when I stocked books like this. Let some people live in a world ofbanality and the everyday; the rest, rejoice!

Weirdest book of the month must be The Customized Body crammed with photographs of people whose bodies have been variously tattooed, pierced and otherwise decoratively mutilated. Keep it on your coffee table for when there's an awkward lull in the conversation.-Cosmopolitan
"This comprehensive book is a grand tour of the world of body adornment, from the ephemera of hairstyles and clothing to the more permanent statements made by cosmetic surgery and tattooing."-Skin Two
