Episode 4- What Modern Body Modification lacks

Welcome to Episode 4! In this episode we discuss why it is important to understand the history of tattoo and other body modification practices, the science relating to why we might do such things to ourselves and our offspring and how we, as modern body modification practitioners and participants are missing out on the benefits of these practices. This is a bit of a rambling conversation and we do cover a broad spectrum of thoughts and topics. There is more foul language in this one, so make sure to be aware of who is around when you’re listening… probably NSFW or around kiddos.Thank you for your continued support! Please let us know if you have any feedback (positive or otherwise). We appreciate that you take the time out of your day to listen to us ramble about something we are so passionate about!Show notes:Delio, Michelle, Tattoo: The Exotic Art of Skin Decoration, 1994.Stevens, John, “Tattooed Buddha,” Yoga Journal, March/April 1992Garve R.
