On this episode of Beneath the Skin we talk to Body Art archivist, documentarian, and contextualizer, Shawn Porter. Many of you will know Shawn from his archive projects Occult Vibrations and Sacred Debris where Shawn collects and preserves artefacts from body modifications, tattooing and more. You may also know Shawn from his time as one of the founders of Body Modification E-Zine (or BME for short). 

We cover a lot in this episode, like Shawn's friendship with Jack Yount, the early body mod scene, and Shawn's work preserving the history of all things weird and wonderful.
