Shawn sent me this footage (from some point in 1988) of his old friend Jack Yount and included the following..
“My first contribution to BME back in 1995 was a memorial article for my friend and mentor Jack Yount. The images that accompanied the article, as well as hundreds to be posted in following years to my own spcOnline site (currently offline), gave you a glimpse of Jack’s extraordinary modifications. This video, taken some years before we met, shows the start of his iconic transformation. It’s my hope however that you look past what Jack has done to his body and listen to the kindness and warmth in his voice.”

What a great video! thanks for posting that Shawn, and Roo. I’m curious how many “piercers” on this site even know who Jack Yount is.

that was pretty cool. i mean yeah it was an old guy in a bathtub playing with himself, but i think we should all send in vids of our mods, like hi my name is Dom, i got a bunch of stuff done… n blah blah so on and so forth. it would be cool to sort of get a personal look into what we as a community have. and i think it would be sweet to see maybe some of the head dogs in the biz to show us what artists get when they get art done.

I just don’t see what the benefit aesthetic or otherwise is of a subincision or head splitting. It seems like quite a few people have them though, can anyone enlighten me? Even a personal opinion will do.

That was great. I love the history, I feel like we’re losing a lot of it. People give a nod to the tribal roots of body modification but seem to forget the leather men that started the trend we’re all still riding.

hmmm… it cut me off; the rest was “it certainly shows through. it was interesting to watch. Mind candy appears rarely here but once it does… any chance for more in the history section?”

I was acquainted with Jack Yount. Kindness only begins to describe his personality. I am indebted to him for guidance when I started to explore body modification. He was a unique character.
