Download or read book Spiritual Tattoo written by John A. Rush and published by Frog Books. This book was released on 2005-03-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Say "body modifications" and most people think of tattoos and piercings. They associate these mainly with the urban primitives of the 1980s to today and with primitive tribes. In fact, as this fascinating book shows, body mods have been on the scene since ancient times, traceable as far back as 1.5 million years, and they also encompass sacrification, branding, and implants. Professor John Rush outlines the processes and procedures of these radical physical alterations, showing their function as rites of passage, group identifiers, and mechanisms of social control. He explores the use of pain for spiritual purposes, such as purging sin and guilt, and examines the phenomenon of accidental cuts and punctures as individual events with sometimes profound implications for group survival. Spiritual Tattoo finds a remarkable consistency in body modifications from prehistory to the present, suggesting the importance of the body as a sacred geography from both social and psychological points of view.
Download or read book Learn Body Piercing in 6 Weeks Or Less written by Jerry Frederick and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2010-11-18 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Body Piercing is a "Hands-On" occupation. One must perform a physical act, in a skillful manner, to accomplish the task of body piercing. To be a body piercer, one must actually learn to be proficient in executing these physical activities. This book demonstrates six different "simulated" piercing tasks that will teach you the physical skills of body piercing in six weeks or less. You don't need a real person to practice on to master these "mock piercing" skills. Each of the six practice techniques demonstrate real life, practice simulations that will prepare you to get started in the body piercing business as an apprentice or independent body piercer. It is the same concept as an airline pilot practicing in a simulator to develop and practice flying skills. To advance your body piercing skills, this book provides you with information on where to get self-learning video training and hard to find mentoring and coaching to get you "in the business" quickly. In addition to the physical elements of body piercing, the non-physical elements of body piercing are extensively covered in this book. You must know content like Aseptic Technique, avoiding cross-contamination, sterilization rules and regulations, how to measure jewelry, licensing, certification, and appropriate jewelry used for each piercing. If you want to learn the fundamentals of body piercing or just want to see what it is all about . . . you definitely need this book.

Download or read book Responsible Body Piercing written by Michaela Grey and published by RE: Ward, Incorporated. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gauntlet is widely considered to be the primary force responsible for pioneering the body piercing industry. Established in 1975, it held its position as a leader for almost 25 years. Between 1995 and the company's demise in 1998, it conducted ongoing seminars teaching aspiring piercers the basics of the profession. This book was the manual given to all students who undertook the training. At the time, it contained the most current information available, but over two decades have passed since its private circulation. During the intervening years, there has been an enormous evolution in this ever expanding industry. While the traditional piercing placements have remained largely unchanged and many of the techniques demonstrated herein are still valid and in use by some piercers today, so much else has evolved and changed. Because of this constant evolutionary process, the authors realized an updated edition would not be practical. Still, many have expressed interest in laying hands on this unpublished tome. After over 20 years, it finally sees the light of day. This book is strictly a historical curiosity, a snapshot of the prevailing practices and standards of a particular time. No one should attempt any of the piercings shown herein unless supervised by an experienced professional piercer who is up-to-date on the most current information. Take to heart the title of this document and always act responsibly.
Download or read book Two Testaments One Bible written by David L. Baker and published by InterVarsity Press. This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do we need the Old Testament today? Is this collection of ancient writings still relevant in our postmodern and increasingly post-literary world? Isn't the New Testament a sufficient basis for the Christian faith? What does the Old Testament God of power and glory have to do with the New Testament God of love whom Jesus calls 'Father'? Are these two very different Testaments really one Bible? In this thoroughly revised, updated and expanded edition of Two Testaments, One Bible, David L. Baker investigates the theological basis for the continued acceptance of the Old Testament as Christian Scripture, through a study of its relationship to the New Testament. He introduces the main issues, surveys the history of interpretation, and critically examines four major approaches. He then considers four key themes, which provide a framework for Christian interpretation of two Testaments in the context of one Bible: 'typology,' 'promise and fulfilment,' 'continuity and discontinuity,' and 'covenant.' He completes his study with a summary of the main conclusions and reflection on their implications for the use of the Bible today.
