DESCRIPTION:
PUNK AND NEO-TRIBAL BODY ART is written so clearly that those who are not familiar with the subject can comprehend the motivations and variations of body art. A very good book, both intellectually, and perhaps more importantly, visually. -- Southern Folklore, vol.52, 1995. Moreover, the succinct text does not alienate the punk or neo-tribalist reader through oversimplification of body ornamentation. I recommend this unique book as an overdue examination of an often overlooked population. 46, 1996PUNK AND NEO-TRIBAL BODY ART is an important addition to academic literature on contemporary body art. -- The Reader's Review, August 1995Modern urban facial and body piercing was first brought to the attention of the mainstream largely through its popularity among punks and related underground youth cultures. -- <

Good for old school review but nothing current available in the past 12yrs.. Five Stars Richard A+A+A+ Thanks!!!
The anti- commercial, do-it-yourself ethos of punks, with their emphasis on parody and gender confusion and an interest in the exotic and forbidden, further challenge dominant cultural values and ideologies. An aesthetic of shock, negation, and cultural pessimism is revealed not only through adornment, but through music, art, dance, fanzines, and dramatizations of violence. Like members of previous subcultures, denizens of the punk subculture have created a coherent and elaborate system of adornment calculated to horrify the general public. Along with a history of punk, PUNK AND NEO-TRIBAL BODY ART surveys the distinctive styles that have been influenced by punk ethos and aesthetic (including grunge, Gothic, and riot grrrl), and then examines the commercialization of punk style
