Description : Presently (1998) this is the most complete and comprehensive survey of body painting, tattoo, and make-up styles on the market.
Covering all continents and ranging from ancient art to modern photography, the work is a treasure of images. Short to almost non-exitent, however, are the varied practices of modification rather than adornment - and images of piercing and scarification or scarce. Still, this is a beautiful collection from the author's even larger archive
