newsgroup: rec.arts.bodyart

When you put a needle under your skin you become a member of a growing underground of modified persons. When you willfully manipulate your body, using it as a diary or canvas, you may need a place to share your experiences and seek information. People from all over travel to rec.arts.bodyart to ask questions, brag about their latest ink or newest hole, and tell the stories behind their body art. Remember, body manipulation doesn't just cover tattoos and piercing. It also includes electrolysis, plastic surgery and circumcision, so expect some debate along with happy scribblings of people on endorphin highs. - D.L.J.
