"An amazing documentary, emotionally complex,
a unique achievement." - The Boston Phoenix

"From the first moments of Flesh & Blood, you'll be hooked."
                       - Tattoo Revue Magazine

"An honest and candid look... at a legitimate pioneer
in the field." - BMEzine

"Steve Haworth pierces and cuts, pricks and prods
his living canvases into works of art." - Pain Magazine

"Not for the squeamish." - Prick Magazine

Haworth spawned a global subculture fixated on his surgical
artistry. Some of the world's most extreme looking people
have spent time under Haworth's knife.

This is the first and only time Haworth has allowed cameras
to film his techniques for all to see. Flesh & Blood is an
unflinching glimpse into his intense world, and the obsessed
people who inhabit it.
