Mutilating the Body: Identity in Blood and Ink

Rating:
Summary: One of the worst and most offensive books ever
Review: An attempt to draw a correlation between individuals suffering from what amounts to borderline personality disorder and "normal" human beings who happen to like body art is offensive, ignorant and stupid. If Kim Hewitt did not wish to convey this message she needs to take additional courses in communication and linguistics rather then pursuing a Ph.D. - God help us all! As a working professional in the corporate environment who has numerous tattoos and designs flash art as a hobby I resent the implications of Hewitt's amateur opinion.

Summary: offensive and uninformed
Review: Hewitt seems knowledgable when speaking about self mutilation and eating disorders, however once she begins to speak about body adornment, she is obviously in over her head. Her use of terminology when talking especially about body piercing and tattoos is unclear and confusing, as if she isn't sure what the correct terms are. The title of this book is EXTREMELY offensive to myself and anyone else who has tattoos, piercings, brands or decorative scars despite her attempt to defend her choice of words in the introduction. It is also badly edited (which does not reflect on the author).I found several mistakes in subject-verb agreement and other things which should have been picked up by the editor. If there even was one.
