Body Art Hubmob
Body Art is More Than Tattoos
Well, after last week's historic 4 page HubMob, Princessa has led us into a new realm. This week's HubMob is about body art. Not just tattoos, either. Body art can be anything that adorns the body. That may be piercings, body paint, body branding or scarification.
Cultural and religious beliefs can influence the type and use of body art. There are some that use henna tattoo art and others that believe that a particular method or design is a way to honour tradition or gain protection.
In other words, body art is very personal and subject to many varied perspectives and beliefs.
The hubs below have been written expressly for you by our devoted Hubbers (writers). They are a source of reading pleasure and of learning. Please enjoy. Read all the hubs you want, then we invite you to return to this hub and leave feedback for the hub you've just read.
Thanks for visiting and reading our HubMob.

Meet the HubMob Team
Each week, your devoted HubMob team seeks ways of making your HubMobbing experience fun and informative.
Ryan Hupfer (Hup) is a bonifide HubPages employee and super Communicator of Awesomeness. Hup is like the president of HubMob land. He gives us direction and keeps the fun and energy alive.
Princessa is the team lead who feeds us the step-by-step instruction and encouragement that we all need to be successful HubMobsters. You can see what I mean by visiting this week's forum thread.
Shirley Anderson (that's me!) moves all the hubs from the weekly forum thread to a central hub for ease in finding and reading all of the work produced for that particular HubMob. I guess you can say that I write the hub hub.
