Tattooed skin, pierced skin, this book explains and shows the connections between the tribes of yesterday and today. Complemented by more than 150 excellent photos, an informative text takes us from the Maoris to city youths, via the Papillon-style convicts of Cayenne, moustached harley bikers, sailors (Mother), and not forgetting the school teacher with the discreet tattoo on her left shoulder – visible now under her backless dress, so cool in her evening outfit. And because the subject is so now, this book also explains how to do tattooing, how to have it done and how to remove tattoos and other piercings safely.
