Though its subject matter is broader than tattoos, I thought I'd
throw in a word for our video "The Human Body: Appearance, Shape and
Self-Image." This 37-minute Dane Archer video takes a cross-cultural
look at the variety, meaning and importance of the bodies we inhabit.
Some of the subjects examined include tattooing, branding,
scarification, anorexia, and plastic surgery. (It also delves into
body prejudices and "weightism," the impact of "super-models" and
beauty pageants, and cultural differences in ideas about beauty).
