--DAVID A. VIDRA, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF HEALTH EDUCATORS, INC. No one is more qualified to write this book than Elayne Angel. With more than three decades of personal experience to her credit, no one knows the subject better.
--JIM WARD, FOUNDER OF GAUNTLET, THE WORLD'S FIRST BODY PIERCING STUDIO This is an exciting book for a field that has exploded in the last two decades.
National industry standards are needed, and Elayne provides important data.

THE AUTHOR'S POINT OF VIEW Have you ever met a celebrity? He asked if I'd like to join him on tour as his tour piercer one day.
I consented, unsure of what I was getting myself into, because it sounded like fun. I got there just in time to catch a glimpse of him at work. I could see a stadium packed with 50,000 shouting spectators from my vantage position on the edge of a massive stage. That's when I understood my pal Lenny (Kravitz) was a well-known rock star!
He's a tremendous fan, and I've done a lot of piercings for him. I wish I had ten nipples so I could have you pierce all of them, Lenny Kravitz said after I pierced his nipples, which he clearly liked. What is the origin of your surname? After seeing my tattoo, I eventually started using the name because it was easier for people to remember.
She got me one this year that made me laugh so hard it drew tears to my eyes.Cover image: a punk-rocker girl with tattoos, piercings, and a spiked Mohawk.Her chat bubble: Know how to know you're getting older? Best wishes on your special day. Do you have any unique pastimes?
Deaf individuals are constantly surprised to learn how well I can communicate with them, especially when they comment on my appearance before realizing I can comprehend what they're signing. What do you enjoy doing by hand? Many are perplexed to see a severely tattooed and pierced woman engaged in such a grandmotherly activity. I previously crocheted a beautiful round queen-size blanket in the shape of a huge pizza.
