Book Description
Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth (TOPY) will be remembered for its crucial influence on youth culture throughout the 1980s, popularizing tattooing, body piercing, "acid house" raves, and other ahead-of-the-curve cultic flirtations and investigations. Its leader was Genesis P-Orridge, co-founder of Psychick TV and Throbbing Gristle, the band that created the industrial music genre. The limited signed cloth edition of Thee Psychick Bible quickly sold out, creating demand for any edition of this 544-page book, which will be available in a handsome smyth-sewn paperback edition with flaps and ribbon. According to author Genesis Breyer P-Orridge, "this is the most profound new manual on practical magick, taking it from its Crowleyan empowerment of the Individual to a next level of realization to evolve our species."

Book Description
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.

Book Description
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.
