  <pre> Praise for the original edition: &#34;This is the most intelligent book available to date on the modern aspects of an increasingly popular form of body decoration.&#34; Kirkus Reviews &#34;A fascinating and well-written study, one that finely sharpens the distinction between deviance and respectability.&#34; Choice Product Description Originally published in 1989, this ground-breaking ethnographic exploration of tattooing - and the art world surrounding it - covers the history, anthropology, and sociology of body modification practices; the occupational experience of the tattooist; the process and social consequences of becoming a tattooed person; and the prospects of &#34;serious&#34; tattooing becoming an accepted art form. Curiously, despite the greater prevalence of tattoos and body modification in today's society, there is still a stigma of deviance associated with people who get or ink tattoos.Retaining the core of the original book, this revised and expanded edition offers a new preface by the author and a new chapter focusing on the changes that have occurred in the tattoo world. A section on the new scholarly literature that has emerged, as well as the new modes of body modification that have come into vogue, are included along with a new gallery of photographs that show some splendid examples of contemporary tattoo art. A directory of artists' websites invites readers to discover the range of work being done around the world from &#34;suits&#34; (full body tattoos) to skulls. 288 pages Publisher: Temple University Press; Rev Exp edition (March 28, 2008) Language: English </pre>
