OK, so
this is the almost obligatory links page but who knows,
you may find something here that you haven't seen before
...Web Pages
 BME, the body
modification ezine. One of, if not the, first web sites
dealing with body art and still the best (and that's not
just because Shannon's hosting these web pages). Often
copied but never bettered.
The
Almost Complete Body Piercing Links List, if this
site hasn't got the bodmod link you're looking for then
it probably doesn't exist.
The Rabbit Hole,
the "official" home of the rec.arts.bodyart
newsgroup. Links, info, FAQs and a whole lot more.
Queen
Spako's Slug Fest, the "official" home of
the rec.arts.bodyart newsgroup. Hold on, two
"official" home pages? I couldn't work this out
either. I'll leave it to you to make up your mind.
PlanetAll
- BodyArt, the home of PlanetAll's BodyArt discussion
group. I've only just found this so I've no idea what
it's like.
Newsgroups
rec.arts.bodyart, fire
up your newsreader, delurk, post, enjoy.
alt.binaries.pictures.art.bodyart,
if you have the patience to wade through all the spam you
can quite often find some decent binary postings, or not.
Books
Most of the books listed in this section are available
from the BME/shop,
or from Amazon.com.
If you live in the UK, you can also try Compendium
Bookshop in Camden (nearest Tube: Camden Town on the
Northern Line).
Modern Primitives
V. Vale & Andrea Juno (ed), RE/SEARCH
Publications, 20 Romolo #B, San Francisco, CA 94133,
U.S.A.
An in depth series of interviews and articles of all
facets of body modification. Loads of photos, all in
black and white though.
The Customized Body
Housk Randal & Ted Polhemus, Serpent's Tail, 4
Blackstock Mews, London, N4, United Kingdom.
The ideal coffee table book, combining Housk's superb
photos and Ted Polhemus' anthropological commentary.
Covers all aspects of body modification and then some.
The Eye Of The Needle & Spheres of Adornment
Pauline Clarke, Piercing World, 153 Tomkinson Road,
Nuneaton, Warwickshire, CV10 8DP, United Kingdom.
The Eye Of The Needle is effectively "the best
of" Piercing World magazine with several new
sections written about the author's own experiences. Lots
of photos of PAUK members and information on most of the
types of piercings. Spheres of Adornment is a form of
sequel which widens the scope of "The Eye" to
include hair, clothing and tattoos amongst others.
Magazines
Body Art
Dealing with almost every form of bodmod known, this
British magazine is what started me out on the road to
the mods chronicled on these pages. For some unknown
reason, neither the magazine nor the publisher have an
on-line presence (if you know otherwise, then please let
me know), but this magazine has a good number of
distributors in the UK and worldwide. You can contact
Body Art at:
Publications Ltd, P.O. Box 32, Great Yarmouth,
Norfolk, NR29 5RD, United Kingdom.
Piercing World
The member's magazine of the Piercing Association UK,
or PAUK, is very much by members for members although it
is available for retail sale from some outlets. Full of
black and white and colour photos, this magazine is an
excellent source of experiences and information. Alas,
like Body Art, I've never been able to track them down
online. The founder and editor, Pauline Clarke, is also
the author (or should that be authoress?) of The Eye Of
The Needle and Spheres Of Adornment.
