Also, a couple of things I just realized I may never have linked.
BME used to do interviews on a fairly regular basis with members of the body modification community, both professionals and people who had work done. A while back Shannon made a collection of all 14 years worth of interviews and put them together in a free to download PDF and also sells a physical copy of the book called "Opening Up".
That can be found here. The book does include some NSFW images, but most of it is perfectly fine in that regard.
He also managed to put up a free PDF download of a book that was published in 2002 called ModCon,
which can be found here. They both have some NSFW material in them, but ModCon is a very intense book as it focuses on some rather heavy surgical modifications. This includes photos of procedures such as scarifications, castrations, penectomy, meatotomy, implants and many other things. So be warned, if you aren't interested in these things and don't have a strong stomach for it, it might be a bit much. If Shannon can find a on-demand printer willing to do it, he's wanting to get more copies printed and sell them which I'd be ecstatic about.
Both of these are really wonderful collections for documenting the evolution of the industry and the philosophy that drives it. The rather rapid increase in knowledgable and effective after care, the increase in piercers actual medical knowledge, the rather clear periods where the industry started getting noticed by people who didn't understand it and the eventual mainstream acceptance (for the most part) of at least the most basic aspects of it. They're both incredibly fascinating if you are interested at all.
