Running for 23 issues betweem 1988 and 1996 body art magazine was a pioneering venture by Henry Ferguson and Lynn Procter. often refereed to as one of the key publications that helped to give quality exposure and reliable information about all forms of Bodyart when it needed it the most. The aim of the publication was to provide the best product possible, the photography was always of the highest grade, the interviews were with truly important people and articles were always well written and researched. Like the articles the production quality stood out, high quality printing, card cover stock and square bound spine on most issues.

Unlike publications that came before and after body art magazine never restricted its self and reported upon all aspects of bodyart permanent and not. The title also reported on bodyart few other publications would tough including Scarification, Branding, Body Suspensions, surgical modifications, implants and extreme rituals. But do not think this was an extreme publication, as much time and print was put into non permanent modifications such as award winning body painting, hair styles, pubic hairdressing, corsetry, henna art, fingernail art and more.

Henry Ferguson and Lynn Procter led the writing team but brought in many big names not usually associated with 'Tattoo' magazines like Ted Polhemus. The 1990s was a time of change for the UK tattoo and piercing industry, many of our big cultural icons were interviewed including Mr Sebastian, Micky 'Sharpz' Lewis, Ed Hardy, Jack Yount, Elayne Angel, Alex Binnie, Jim Ward and Steve Haworth.

It is a true testament to the ability of the writers and photographers that this publication is still relevant and important to the body modification community do many years later.
