'''Erik Sprague''' (born June 12, [[1972]]), better known as '''The Lizardman''', left his doctoral program in philosophy in order to better dedicate himself to his work as an artist. He is probably best known for his transformation project which includes a full body [[Tattoo|tattoo]] of green scales, stretched [[Piercing|piercings]], forehead [[Implant|implants]], [[Tooth_filing|filed teeth]], and a [[Tongue_splitting|split tongue]], making him resemble a lizard. He is one of the first people to have a split tongue, and due to his media prominence, it could be argued that he is almost single-handedly responsible for the popularity of this body modification.
'''The Piercing Bible''' is a book written by [[Elayne Angel]], an [[APP]] member, which contains a variety of information on body piercing. This was the first comprehensive mainstream book in print in the English language to cover the subject of body piercing exclusively.


As The Lizardman, he travels the world speaking and performing an extensive repertoire of sideshow style acts in a variety of one-man shows. He has also worked with [[Category:Suspensions|suspension]] groups such as [[TSD]] and [[CoRE (page does not exist)|CoRE]].
== Intended Audience ==
The Piercing Bible is a reference book that is primarily directed to consumers and those considering piercing, secondarily to people who deal with piercees such as medical professionals, teachers, parents; and thirdly to apprentices and piercers.


He wrote a book called [[Once More Through the Modified Looking Glass]] which is a compilation of all his columns for BMENews from 2003-2007.
== Disclaimers ==
As quoted from the book:


There is a wax replica of him at the New York [[Ripley's Believe It or Not|Ripley's Believe It or Not]] museum.
:''The Piercing Bible is deliberately limited in scope to provide detailed, useful information about the most common body piercings. Related subjects such as "play" (temporary) piercings, implants, and suspensions, which are all part of the broader piercing scene, will be touched on only in passing. Tattoos and more extreme forms of body modification, such as scarification, branding, tongue splitting, and so on, will not be addressed.''


He also has a band called [[Lizard Skynyrd]].
:''This book is not an instructional manual on how to perform body piercings on yourself or others. Visit a competent professional piercer for all permanent piercings. If you are interested in becoming a piercer, I urge you to seek out appropriate training under the guidance of an experienced mentor before attempting to do any piercings.''

The Piercing Bible is a book written by Elayne Angel, an APP member, which contains a variety of information on body piercing. This was the first comprehensive mainstream book in print in the English language to cover the subject of body piercing exclusively.

Intended Audience

The Piercing Bible is a reference book that is primarily directed to consumers and those considering piercing, secondarily to people who deal with piercees such as medical professionals, teachers, parents; and thirdly to apprentices and piercers.

Disclaimers

As quoted from the book:

The Piercing Bible is deliberately limited in scope to provide detailed, useful information about the most common body piercings. Related subjects such as "play" (temporary) piercings, implants, and suspensions, which are all part of the broader piercing scene, will be touched on only in passing. Tattoos and more extreme forms of body modification, such as scarification, branding, tongue splitting, and so on, will not be addressed.
This book is not an instructional manual on how to perform body piercings on yourself or others. Visit a competent professional piercer for all permanent piercings. If you are interested in becoming a piercer, I urge you to seek out appropriate training under the guidance of an experienced mentor before attempting to do any piercings.
