Modern Primitives: Interesting Historical Reference

A brilliant introduction to the evolution of western piercing and tatoo culture and its inspiration. Very much of it's day: mid 1980s to early 1990s, but a very interesting read never the less.

My first view into modern primitives

This book is how most people I've run into became aquainted with the modern primitive and body modification culture. Re/Search has done an excellent job of putting this work together and suprisingly enough in the days of the internet providing instant access to most aspects of subculture, it has stood up to the test of time. This isn't a photobook, rather its an illustrated series of interviews and some critical essays regarding the modern primitive movement. If you're expecting hot chicks with pierced nipples, you'll be sorely dissapointed but if you're actually interested in seeing what drove people to engage in these body practices, you'll find it a favorite item in your library.

The book that started my journey

This is the book that really began my journey into an alternative lifestyle and body modification. I have bought many copies over the years to pass on to other people as a reference tool to answer questions about themselves and me.
