Meet Bournemouth's Body Piercing Clinic

Located on the well-known Old Christchurch Road since 2002, Metal Fatigue Body Piercing Bournemouth boasts years of invaluable knowledge and experience. Our professional piercer is unwavering in their commitment to upholding the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and customer satisfaction.

Bournemouth's only dedicated Body Piercing Clinic.

Metal Fatigue was founded by Sarge, who gave his appellation to the studio and poured his extensive knowledge and experience into the business. Sarge was, and still is, a renowned name in the body modification community across the globe. He was known for his alternative lifestyle, his unique dress sense and character. An early follower of the goth subculture, Sarge began practising body piercing at a time when it was considered an underground and non-conventional form of body modification. Unknowingly, he helped inspire young people interested in goth culture express themselves through piercings and personal image. A professional for close to 30 years, Sarge was constantly evolving his knowledge and techniques. He studied and respected the origins of body modification, and he was also at the forefront of helping shift body piercing from a niche market into a mainstream business.
Metal Fatigue started trading in Old Christchurch Road, Bournemouth in 2002, in collaboration with Paradox. Our piercer AJ took apprenticeship with Sarge, and has remained a member of the team ever since. A reference in the body piercing community and industry, Metal Fatigue works to the highest standards of hygiene and customer service. We pride ourselves in being the only dedicated Body Piercing Clinic in Bournemouth; with the trust of our longstanding loyal customers and new ones alike, we intend to uphold a legacy that started over 20 years ago.

Our Experienced Piercer

AJ

AJ has been in and around the piercing industry for over 20 years, working in different studios before finally making Metal Fatigue Bournemouth his home for the past 15 years.

AJ was lucky enough to be offered an apprenticeship with Sarge, who shared his extensive knowledge with AJ and helped him develop as a piercer. Not only in piercing practice but in anatomy, hygiene and 'bedside' manner.

He learnt over an 18 month period with Sarge before he considered himself a professional body piercer.

AJ prides himself in his ability to read his clients and put them at ease, whether they're a nervous first timer or a seasoned veteran. As a proud father of two girls and two boys, and having pierced them all multiple times, he knows how to relax younger clients before their first piercing. 

Years of experience means AJ works quickly, efficiently and with confidence but he is also more than happy to give time to those who need it in their appointment.

He is happy to share his expertise regarding new piercings, and piercing aftercare, even if the piercing was performed elsewhere.
