'''Keith Alexander''' (November 23, 1963 - July 11, [[2005]]) was a New York City based [[piercing]] and [[scarification]] artist.

An outspoken member of the online [[body modification]] community, Alexander got his professional start at the [[Gauntlet]] NYC, where he was to earn his Piercer certificate.

As well known for his razor sharp wit and skills as a scarification artist, Keith opened [[Modern American Bodyarts]] in [[1996]]. The antithesis of the "head em up, move em out, get their money" kind of shops that were popping up all over the country, MAB offered serious clients a relaxed if not familial piercing/cutting experience.

In [[1998]], Keith organized the "[[Night of 1000 Scars]]" party in NYC, which was best described by [[Shawn Porter]] as "an evening of modification, sin and debauchery." Featuring performances by [[Spidergod5]], [[TSD]] and others, the event was a huge sucess. This event was a promotional event for the Dee Snider movie [[Strangeland]] for which Keith Alexander designed the piercings. Keith also played guitar with Dee Snider's SMF.

Sadly, Keith Alexander was killed in a road cycling accident on July 11, 2005.
