Publisher's Summary

As we become more and more socially transparent to each other, our bosses are finally more concerned with our work ethic rather than our appearance. Tattoos, piercing, and body modification quenches our deep thirst for identity. But is there more to it than that?

I found it compelling that piercing an ear during the Viking Middle Ages was said to revamp long-distance vision. Or how about how the Yantra tattoo is used to channel positivity in Cambodia, Laos, and Thailand? While studying the history of alternative medicine, I noticed the act of aesthetically altering the body to resurface itself repeatedly. The ancient Indian Kama Sutra, for example, prescribes the insertion of pins and the implantation of objects into specific spots on our reproductive organs for excellent sexual health.

I present a fusion of acupuncture with body art, a healing modality that works by understanding that the body is already energy. If you approach each body as a tabernacle considered sacred, you'll become an instrument for harmony and beauty.

Leaving a Mark is not just the name of this book, but a term meant to encapsulate a practice under a singular theme. Tattooing and piercing give new significance to arcane practices like bloodletting and megalithic stone technology. Pyramids and Obelisks have been essentially "pierced" into the ground to rid Earth of energetic blockages. By rebalancing Earth's forcefield, our planet's defenses are maintained. We're applying the same geometric methodology to lay out interconnected structures (Stonehenge, the Temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Parthenon, etc.) toward the human body. Once you realize our bodies directly correspond to Earth, it won't be long before you take in the significance of Leaving a Mark. Think of it more like a blood ritual than a piercing or a tattoo.
