a book i keep picking up again and again, 5. Juli 2000
Von Ein Kunde
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Modern Primitives: Investigation of Contemporary Adornment Rituals (Re/Search) (Taschenbuch)
let me start by saying that i do very much like a lot of the books that have been published by "re/search".
the title says it all: "modern primitives". published back in 1989 it was - as far as i know - one of the first publications looking into now trendy things such as tattooing and piercing. but don't let this mislead you; it goes beyond those topics!
there are so many great, fantastic, unbelievable, excellent interviews with countless interesting personalities included. i was overwhelmed! still am! i've had this book for a few years now, but i keep re-reading lots of interviews again and again.
here are some of the people that have had the opportunity to speak out in this book: don ed hardy, captain don, anton lavey, leo zulueta, bill salmon, lyle tuttle, vyvyn lazonga, monte cazazza, dan thomé, hanky panky, goodtime charlie cartwright, jim ward and genesis & paula p. orridge (of throbbing gristle / psychic tv fame).
also, there are lots and lots of great photographs; (some by the fantastic charles gatewood). though not all of them for the faint hearted...
this book is a must-have, imho, for anyone interested in stuff like tattooing and/or piercing.

The seminal fetish/tattoo/corset/body-modification guide., 10. April 1999
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Modern Primitives: Investigation of Contemporary Adornment Rituals (Re/Search) (Taschenbuch)
This is the book that really turned me on to the body as art - to body modification, scarification, corseting, piercing, and all of the other -ifications that have become so wildly popular. Good for the voyeur, and basic reading for the neo-fetishist. Just plain cool. Maybe (nowadays, with Marilyn Manson, et al) a tad out of date.

Kicks a**!! Get it!!!, 26. Januar 1999
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Modern Primitives: Investigation of Contemporary Adornment Rituals (Re/Search) (Taschenbuch)
A must for all tattoo/scarification afficionados. Interviews are top notch. Chosen artists truly are the best at what they do. Found this to be a great resource for Masters Thesis at UC Berkeley on Contemporary tattoo. Did not put it down for hours once I got me wee hands on it...
