About

History

A little over ten years ago Gail Kwak created the Modified Librarian page. The page was a forum for the discussion of body modification in the context of librarianship. Library professionals and paraprofessionals alike were invited to contribute pictures of their tattoos, piercings and other modifications along with their stories.

The Next Phase

In 2005 I created the Modified Librarians on flickr.com and 2008 I created Mod Lib. The Mod Lib site sought to carry the torch that Gail started long those years ago and to move beyond the simple pictures of the Flickr group and into the stories behind the art.

But just as Mod Lib was starting up, a very nice tattoo artist suggested that I open up the project to people other then just library folk and thus Mod Geek was born. There is also a Modified Geeks on flickr.com but I want this place to be one where we can share.
