BUYER BEWARE!!! June 20, 1999
31 out of 34 found this review helpful
The title of this book is incredibly misleading. IT has NOTHING to do with body adornment. It is about the changing sociological perspective of the human body and the gender issues involved. I bought this book with the intention of doing a research paper on body adornment, but all 175 pages of this book were unusable. It was a complete waste of my money. The editors should SERIOUSLY consider changing the title so as to not TRICK the reading public.
This book is not what it seems February 27, 1998

This title came up in a search on the keyword "tattoo". The cover illustration has some tattoos, and the introduction talks a bit about body modification, but the rest of the book has *nothing* to do with this subject. Still, they are marketing the book towards this audience. In addition, it is largely written in postmodern gobbledygook. I found it to be virtually unreadable.
A wast of good money. February 22, 2008
It was not at all, what I expected. It was not a book about tattoo at all, a wast of good money.
