I've never been so disappointed in a book.I'm into body piercing/tattoo photography books,so I was excited about this one.But it turned out to be filled with nothing but sickeningly glossy,airbrushed,pretentiously "arty" close-ups of rather conventional facial piercings(for the most part).Boring,no edge whatsoever.If you want a few really cool books of this genre,check out Masters of Tattoo,The Customized Body,or color full pain.The Illustrated Woman is awesome,but you'll have to go directly to the publisher for that one.
