Book Description
This riveting book teaches readers about the importance of careful consideration before getting a tattoo. It addresses the decision-making process in an honest way, asking readers to consider what a lifetime with a tattoo will be like and what the true reasons behind it are: peer pressure, aesthetics, or something else. From there, it covers more practical considerations, such as age restrictions, where on the body they want the tattoo, size, overall design, proper care, and the removal process if necessary down the road. It truly helps readers think before they ink.

Customizing the Body
Author: Clinton SandersPublisher: Temple University Press
ISBN: 1592138888
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 272
Book Description
Originally published in 1989, this ground-breaking ethnographic exploration of tattooing—and the art world surrounding it—covers the history, anthropology and sociology of body modification practices; the occupational experience of the tattooist; the process and social consequences of becoming a tattooed person; and the prospects of "serious" tattooing becoming an accepted art form. Curiously, despite the greater prevalence of tattoos and body modification in today’s society, there is still a stigma of deviance associated with people who get or ink tattoos. Retaining the core of the original book, this revised and expanded edition offers a new preface by the author and a new chapter focusing on the changes that have occurred in the tattoo world. A section on the new scholarly literature that has emerged, as well as the new modes of body modification that have come into vogue are included along with a new gallery of photographs that shows some splendid examples of contemporary tattoo art. A directory of artists' websites invites readers to discover the range of work being done around the world—from “suits” (full body tattoos) to skulls.
