Piercing: A Modern Anthology

Rating:
Summary: modern anthology, maybe a little misleading?
Review: not to say that this book isnt worth the time to look thru, because it definately has some interesting perspectives and great photographs to go along with it. but this isnt what i was expecting from this book. . . for what little i had found on it, there were mentions of how ancient societies used different piercing to show manhood and as rites of passage. so i was expecting that it was going to be more of a history, and showing social evolution of how what are typical body piercings today started as a sign of royality. alas, it is not. if anyone knows a book that is more along those lines of a history, please let me know!

anyway, this book is okay. if youre looking for a kind of photo documentary of modern piercings (most of which are people from europe) then id would tell you to buy this book. because thats exactly what it is.
