| '''Shawn Porter''' is the body modification archivist of both his personal collection, and for lack of a better term, the curator of the [[Jack Yount Collection|Jack Yount Collection]]—one of the most extensive documentations of the early [[Piercing|piercing]] underground in America. He edited the [[SPC|SPC]] website from [[1995|1995]] to [[2005|2005]], co-founded [[ModCon|ModCon]], and was the host of ModCons 3.5 and 4. | | '''Shisei''' ("The Tattooer") is the title of a book published in [[1910]] by the famous Japanese novelist Tanizaki Junichiro. It is the story of a young [[Tattoo|tattoo]] master and a beautiful girl. Tanizaki's work was originally conceived in a contemporary setting, but later placed in the Edo period perhaps due to social pressure in those days. |

| Shawn also started the [[ScarWars|ScarWars]] project in late [[2004|2004]] as a means to unite the [[Scarification|scarification]] community and is a long-time [[BME QOD|BME QOD]] staff member.

| == Brief Biography ==
| |
| | |
| Shawn Porter was born in [[1974|1974]] and raised on a cattle farm/orange grove in Plant City, Florida. Showing an early interest in the various ways humans modify their bodies, he began self-piercing at a very early age with little in the way of outside influence. His first piercings were performed in 1982; hastily piercing his own foreskin and frenum in the same year but removing the needle each time for fear of exposure.
