MODERN PRIMITIVES
TATTOO-PIERCING-SCARIFICATION
AN INVESTIGATION OF CONTEMPORARY ADORNMENT & RITUAL
EDITORS: V.VALE & JUNO
Re/SEARCH PUBLICATIONS – SAN FRANCISCO - 1989
“An anthropological inquiry into a contemporary social enigma – the increasingly popular revival of ancient human decoration practices such a symbolic/deeply personal tattooing, multiple piercings, and ritual scarification. “Primitive” actions which rupture conventional confines of behaviour and aesthetics are objectively scrutinized. In context of the death of global frontiers, this volume charts the territory of the last remaining underdeveloped source of first-hand experience: the human body.” Lots of photos and interviews...... ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING!!!!!
