People with piercings need to keep those piercings clean, for example, and people with tattoos need to remember their sunscreen. This book steers away from the “should you or shouldn’t you” aspect of body modification, and instead it focuses on practical and health-related issues. How do body modifications work? What are the risks? What should you consider before getting body art, and how do you take care of it afterward? These are the kinds of questions we’ll try to answer in this book. And if the answer to your question isn’t here, you can try the Further Reading section, where you’ll find contact information for expert advice.
