Welcome:

To the Primal Mark Industries Body Modification Library. We have been noticing for a while now that there is a severe shortage of good information on the internet concerning body modification. To fill this need, we have added this library section to our site. Hopefully you will be able to find information that will be useful to you in choosing a body modification, and a practitioner, that will suit your needs.

We are always accepting submissions for articles to include in the Library. Please send all submissions to Kabalist@BMEworld.com. We will contact you as soon as possible to let you know if your submission was accepted or not.
The navigation bar to the left will guide you to the various sections of the Library. More information will be added in all of these sections as it becomes available, and we have time to HTML it. Please excuse the sparseness of the Library currently.
Much of the information in the Library is written by people other than us. We have endeavored to give authors credits when we can. If you find an article that you wrote reproduced here that does not have your byline, please email us so that we can correct the problem as soon as possible.
