Description
First published 20 years ago, Modern Primitives remains a seminal work on body modification practices. This celebratory reprinting features a new introduction by the original editor and publisher, V. Vale, as well as a new community section showcasing current practitioners.
Heavily illustrated with contemporary photographs, archival anthropological images, and drawings of ancient tattoo traditions, Modern Primitives explores the cultural significance of body modification. The book delves into the history and practices of body modification, shedding light on one of today's most widespread visual signifiers.
With its unique blend of art, anthropology, and cultural analysis, Modern Primitives is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of body modification and its place in contemporary culture.
