I’ve been in the piercing industry for over 20 years, working in different studios before finally making Metal Fatigue Piercing my home for the past 15 years.

I was lucky enough to be offered an apprenticeship with Sarge, Metal Fatigue’s founder, who shared his extensive knowledge with me and helped me develop as a piercer – not just in technique, but in anatomy, hygiene, and bedside manner.

I trained under Sarge for 18 months before considering myself a professional body piercer.

I pride myself on my ability to read my clients and put them at ease – whether they’re a nervous first-timer or a seasoned piercing veteran.

I’m a proud father of two girls and two boys, and I’ve pierced them all multiple times. That experience has taught me how to help younger clients feel relaxed and comfortable before their first piercing.

Years in the industry mean I work quickly, efficiently and with confidence, but I’m always happy to slow things down and give extra time to anyone who needs it during their appointment.

I’m always glad to share my expertise on new piercings and aftercare, even if your piercing was done somewhere else.

I’m also fully licensed by BCP council.

I started my career at Paradox Body Jewellery back in 2000. A  year or two later, I began an apprenticeship with Sarge, the founder of Metal Fatigue, learning as much as I could from him.

After piercing for a few years at Metal fatigue, I went on to have my own piercing business within a friend’s tattoo shop, where I also learnt to  tattoo. I re-joined the team at Metal Fatigue Piercing in 2022.

I’m known for my calm, patient demeanour and good humour, and I’ll do my best to put you at ease – especially if you’re feeling a bit nervous!

I’ll take the time to talk you through what’s about to happen and make sure you feel comfortable, relaxed and happy throughout your piercing.

I’m an avid traveller and have explored extensively throughout Europe & Asia. I love meeting people from all walks of life and experiencing new cultures. My biggest passions are music and wildlife.

With nearly 20 years of experience, I’ve pretty much seen it all when it comes to piercing so I can give you the best advice.

I’m always happy to share my expertise on new piercings and aftercare, even if your piercing was done somewhere else.

I’m also fully licensed by BCP council.
