title: Return of the Tribal: A Celebration of Body Adornment
author:  Rufus C. Camphausen 
description: "First tattoos, then piercings and now<strong>--</strong>metal mohawks? Modern primitives are taking body modification to the extremes with scalp implants."<br /> (<i><em>Newsweek</em></i>)<br /><br />"By juxtaposing photos of 'modern urban tribals' against images of indigenous people, Camphausen effectively places this oh-so '90s practice firmly within a historical and global context. The results are fascinating."<br /> (<i><em>Publishers Weekly</em></i>)<br /><br />"This book brings dignity and respect to the contemporary practice of body adornment in all its forms. By alternating stunning images from tribal and urban cultures, Camphausen makes his point convincingly.<br /> (<i><em>Magical Blend</em>, David Merritt</i>)<br /><br />"A veritable travelogue through the geography of human imagination. Camphausen proves convincingly that today's body modification trend is more like a revival than a fad." <br /> (<i><i>Curio</i></i>)
