***Body Play and Modern Primitives Quarterly*** was a magazine founded in 1992[1] and published by [Fakir Musafar](/source/Fakir_Musafar). It contained information, commentary and interviews pertaining to advanced topics in [body modification](/source/Body_modification) such as [human branding](/source/Human_branding), [suspension](/source/Suspension_(body_modification)), [contortionism](/source/Contortionism) and binding.[2] The magazine was not limited to technical information and images but also contained historical information about the development of modern piercing culture, such as the origins of the [daith piercing](/source/Daith_piercing).[3]

The magazine had difficulty growing beyond 500 subscribers and large mainstream distributors were hesitant to carry material pertaining to the [alternative lifestyle](/source/Alternative_lifestyle) depicted in the publication. These difficulties led to the termination of the magazine in 1999.[1]

A printed compilation of photography first published in *Body Play Magazine* was compiled by Fakir under the title *Body Play: The Self-Images of Fakir Musafar*
