 _Image--the journal of nursing scholarship_. Wint '91 v 23 n 4 p 215

"Memorial Decoration: Women, Tattooing, and the Meanings of Body
Alteration" by Sanders, Clinton. _Michigan quarterly review_. Wint 1991
v 30 n 1 p 146
Summary: Sanders is one of a very few academicians writing about body
modifications. This article is the only one I've encountered that deals
specifically with the psychology of women tattoo enthusiasts, whose
reasons for getting inked differ from those of their male counterparts.

"Trends: Tattoos go mainstream." _Newsweek_. Jan 07 91 v 117 n 1 p 60
Summary: A short article focusing on a couple of tattoo enthusiasts who
do not fit the stereotype, including a French man working on his full
back piece. Good introduction to the change in 

"Nonmainstream body modification: genital piercing, burning, and
cutting" by Myers, James. _Journal of contemporary ethnography_. Oct 01
1992 v 21 n 3 p 267.
Summary: One of the few papers that is both academic and informational.
Begins with a definition of "body modification" and discusses various
non-tattooing bodmods. Key players including Fakir, Jim Ward & Raellyn
are mentioned. Gauntlet illustration of genital pierces available. Some
sense of "outsider peeking in;" author specifies the fact that he is a
heterosexual male anthropologist (he is an anthro prof at Cal State
Chico).

Review: If you are interested in bodyart as a whole beyond tattoos, this
is the one book that you should have in your reference collection. The
book is a collection of interviews and write-ups about a very wide
spectrum, including the opener on Fakir Musafar (he is THE bodyart god,
IMHO), sword swallowing, Polynesian tattoos, pierces, cuttings, etc. The
section on body piercing complements Ardvark's FAQ, and has
illustrations on exactly WHERE those darned genital pierces are supposed
to go. Important note: This book is not for the faint-at-heart. Some of
the information and text contained are very graphic--an assumption can
be made that those wanting to read the book are already USED to small
tattoos and nipple pierces. There is a graphic photo of a bifurcated
penis, for example. You have been duly warned.

Stewart, Samuel. Bad Boys and Tough Tattoos: A Social History of the
Tattoo with Gangs, Sailors, and Street-Corner Punks. (1950-1965).
Review by Lance Bailey (zaphod@bcu.ubc.ca):
  Instead of a well-written mature examination of tattoos and society,
we instead find Steward's full of misconceptions, incorrect facts and a
dedication to link tattoos and gay sex.
  Presented as a formal study, Stewart claims that "it is perhaps the
only volume on tattooing not dependent on tattoo photographs to boost
sales." He however commits one of the writer's worst crimes by talking
down to the reader.
  The book is sprinkled liberally with street slang instead of the
language of a serious study. Worse, however is the gross inaccuracies in
the book. Two examples:
1: Through out the book Steward presents himself, or rather his
pseudonym Phil Sparrow, as the best tattooist in Chicago whilst he
practised there. His comments on tattoos become amusing in this light
and on "Famous tattoos" he comments: "The second of the legendary
tattoos is a 'pack of hounds chasing a fox down across a person's back,'
with the fox disapearing in the a convenient burrow...At any rate,
although thousands of persons have said they have seen such a tattoo, it
is hardly reasonable that I should never have seen one in 18 years and
over a hundred persons." Well, Mr Sparrow should pick up a copy of "Art,
sex, and symbol:  the mystery of tattooing (1986)" which has several
pictures of tattoos on that very theme.
2: In his section on tattooing the drunk, he says he did not mind
working on someone who'd had a few drinks for courage, but the truly
intoxicated should not be tattooed because "a drunk cannot sit
still...he is very likely to get sick suddenly... [and] the choice of
design selected was regretted as soon as they became sober. Steward
seems to be completely ignorant of the fact that alcohol is an
anti-coagulant and a single beer can make someone bleed like a stuck
pig.

Whether or not you believe in God, this message is a "must-read"!

Throughout time, we can see how we have been carefully conditioned coming to this point where we are on the verge of a cashless society. Did you know that Jesus foretold of this event almost 2,000 years ago?

In Revelation 13:16-18, it states,

"He (the false prophet who deceives many by his miracles--Revelation 19:20) causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.

Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666."

Referring to the last generation, this could only be speaking of a cashless society. Why's that? Revelation 13:17 tells us that we cannot buy or sell unless we receive the mark of the beast. If physical money was still in use, we could buy or sell with one another without receiving the mark. This would contradict scripture that states we need the mark to buy or sell!

These verses could not be referring to something purely spiritual as scripture references two physical locations (our right hand or forehead) stating the mark will be on one "OR" the other. If this mark was purely spiritual, it would indicate both places, or one--not one OR the other!

This is where it comes together. It is shocking how accurate the Bible is concerning the implantable RFID microchip. Here are notes from a man named Carl Sanders who worked with a team of engineers to help develop this RFID chip:

"Carl Sanders sat in seventeen New World Order meetings with heads-of-state officials such as Henry Kissinger and Bob Gates of the C.I.A. to discuss plans on how to bring about this one-world system. The government commissioned Carl Sanders to design a microchip for identifying and controlling the peoples of the world—a microchip that could be inserted under the skin with a hypodermic needle (a quick, convenient method that would be gradually accepted by society).

Carl Sanders, with a team of engineers behind him, with U.S. grant monies supplied by tax dollars, took on this project and designed a microchip that is powered by a lithium battery, rechargeable through the temperature changes in our skin. Without the knowledge of the Bible (Brother Sanders was not a Christian at the time), these engineers spent one-and-a-half-million dollars doing research on the best and most convenient place to have the microchip inserted.

Guess what? These researchers found that the forehead and the back of the hand (the two places the Bible says the mark will go) are not just the most convenient places, but are also the only viable places for rapid, consistent temperature changes in the skin to recharge the lithium battery. The microchip is approximately seven millimeters in length, .75 millimeters in diameter, about the size of a grain of rice. It is capable of storing pages upon pages of information about you. All your general history, work history, criminal record, health history, and financial data can be stored on this chip.

Brother Sanders believes that this microchip, which he regretfully helped design, is the “mark” spoken about in Revelation 13:16–18. The original Greek word for “mark” is “charagma,” which means a “scratch or etching.” It is also interesting to note that the number 666 is actually a word in the original Greek. The word is “chi xi stigma,” with the last part, “stigma,” also meaning “to stick or prick.” Carl believes this is referring to a hypodermic needle when they poke into the skin to inject the microchip."

Mr. Sanders asked a doctor what would happen if the lithium contained within the RFID microchip leaked into the body. The doctor replied by saying a terrible sore would appe (...)
