Summary: dumb
Review: dont get me wrong..the photography in the book is great but the only piercings featured are navels and eyebrows and nipples and pretty much any other super commen boring piercings..if you are interested in basic, run of the mill piercings then this book is great. however, if you are looking for something a bit more extreme, do not waste your time on this book.

Summary: Fantastic photographic gallery of body piercings.
Review: This book contains a wonderful array of tasteful, artful and beautiful photographs of body piercings. The piercings range from the socially accepted ear lobe to the more confronting genital piercings, although all are presented with sensitivity and humour.

I absolutely loved this book for its sensible and not 'freakish' portrayal of body piercing. The authors see piercing as an art form, not a subculture for the lost generation. These pictures are the most expressive and appropriate I have seen of body art.

This book will be a welcome surprise for all fans of body piercing, whether already pierced or thinking about becoming adorned.

Summary: BEAUTIFUL
Review: this book is beautiful, nuff said, it is not "hard core" like alot of the piercing, body mod books out there, this one actually looks at it like a western tribal ritual. it doesnt follow the stereotypes of modern piercing being scary, or in bad taste, i think it compliments the piercing world rather well, and quite frankly, i am sick of seeing body art as some sort of a fetish, or a cry for help (As my mom used to say ;)) it portrays bodyart as i wish it to be known as, a body modification, something that makes body art more interesting, and pleasing to the eye. 5 stars from me, i am a piercer myself and i am not easily impressed. the book itself should not be mistaken for a referance book, it is strictly a photographic print book. just to let you know

Review: This book is beautifull. I love the metal ring "Pierced" through the cover. The pictures are great although i expected some of the less mainstream piercings. Overall a great buy though.

Summary: beautifully erotic
Review: This book is definately eye candy for the piercing enthusiast. I have one for my tattoo shop and another one for home. It is full of pictures of all different people, from all different walks of life with one thing in common. They all love their bodies and are not shy showing off their even most personal piercings. Drawn in originally by the cover (an actual ring for the O) and now I use it as a way to show different piercings to customers and friends alike.

Summary: Pure art
Review: This is a very well-done photographic essay on body piercing. The photos are imaginative, technically excellent, and more than a few display a wry wit. The jewelry displayed in the piercings are works of art in themselves. This book would be an excellent tool to help "win over" someone who finds piercings distasteful, by showing just how artistic they can be.

Review: Unoriginal, uninteresting, uninformative (even at the level of the esthetics, ie. only the most common piercings are featured, and I can't find the jewelry that beautiful either, at all), predictable, shallow. I looked through the book when I received it and, sorely disappointed, returned the book within the hour.
