3 out of 5 stars Good book, but not the one of the best   May 7, 2004
 6 out of 8 found this review helpful

"Body Marks" is an interesting look into the world of body modification. Though its primary focus is tattooing, piercing and scarification, it also has sections neck elongation and body painting (henna is specifically discussed). The book briefly discusses other cultures, but is mostly on modern, Western modification.

The book is well organised and each section is complimented with good photos (albeit sparingly). Some of the content is a bit outdated or inaccurate, but for the most part is well done.

I gave the book 3 out of 5 stars because, while it is well done, both the content and the photography was significantly less valuable than that found in other books ("Return to the Tribal" and "Modern Primitives" are much better). The photos were good, but there were relatively few within the book. As aforementioned, the content was interesting and well structured, but a tad outdated and in some places inaccurate.

If you're looking to expand your collection on body modification books, this is worth buying. However, if you're just looking for a starter book, I'd recommend "Modern Primitives" (or even "Return to the Tribal") instead.
