Punk and Neo-Tribal Body Art (Folk Art and Artists)
Editorial Reviews
Piercing Fans International Quarterly, no. 46, 1996
Modern urban facial and body piercing was first brought to the attention of the mainstream largely through its popularity among punks and related underground youth cultures. PUNK AND NEO- TRIBAL BODY ART is especially valuable to those who wish to trace this particular thread in the history of modern piercing. . . . I recommend this unique book as an overdue examination of an often overlooked population.

PUNK AND NEO-TRIBAL BODY ART is an important addition to academic literature on contemporary body art. . . . Wojcik surveys the whole field, from dress and body painting to tattooing, piercing, and scarification. PUNK AND NEO-TRIBAL BODY ART is written so clearly that those who are not familiar with the subject can comprehend the motivations and variations of body art. Moreover, the succinct text does not alienate the punk or neo-tribalist reader through oversimplification of body ornamentation. While society generally perceives punks and neo- tribalists as self-destructive oddities, Wojcik emphasizes their creativity.
