We finally had a chance to interview Don, BME’s most prolific experience reviewer… which arguably makes him in many ways the best informed, or at least the most broadly aware, person on the planet regarding the personal experience of body modification! Click the picture to jump to the interview:

I used to live in Stratford, and I always remember that there was a pierced older guy who worked in the library and as a child I thought he was awesome, and now I know who he was!
Thanks to Don for being an inspiration when I was younger and for still being one now 🙂

i used to work in surrey libraries… i guess it depends on the manager, mine was old and hated my piercings with a passion! didn’t stop me from getting my tongue pierced and passing it off as toothache while it healed! found the kids found them fascinating (worked in the children’s library), but a lot of the older people thought they were weird and unnatural! but now i live in eastbourne – and it’s all much more relaxed. hooray for piercings!

There are few people I respect more than Don. He is a gentle soul with a serenity that is so beautful.
He is one of the people you can’t help, but enjoy to, hanging-out with.
Long may he continue with his ‘mission’ on BME.
We so do love you old friend 😉

I work at the university library at UNL in NE and they have no problems with body mods it seems; I’ve got three visible tattoos and 7/16th ears, my boss has a pretty nice leg tattoo visible in the summer…props to libraries and their leniency! Props to Don as well, for going where not many people go at 40something!
