Modern Primitives by Vivian Vale

Modern Primitives by Vivian Vale

First published 20 years ago, Modern Primitives is still called the bible of the tattooing-piercing underground. Here is a celebratory reprinting, complete with a new introduction by original editor/publisher V. Vale. Also added is a new community section, where current practitioners have been invited to have their cards displayed. Modern Primitives was the first book to investigate not only the how but also the why of body modification practices. It reaches far back into history to multiform cultural traditions to illuminate one of today's most wide-spread youth culture visual signifiers. Heavily illustrated with detailed, contemporary photographs, as well as archival anthropological images and drawings of ancient tattoo traditions, Modern Primitives was ground-zero for today's body-modification trends.

V. Vale is a popular-cultural investigator as recognized by The New York Times, NPR and other major dispersers of culture and the news. He has been self-publishing for over 30 years and now is a talk-show host on The Counter Culture Hour in San Francisco. Jim Morton has been watching and writing about cinema and other popular culture subjects since 1980. His periodical Pop Void was gathered into the book, Pop Void: A Journal of Popular Culture in 1988. He is an international traveler in the field of marketing and print publishing.
