Ed first got interested in piercing at around 13. He started piercing himself, using sometimes rather crude methods (ask him about how he and Paul pierced his nipples in a local nightclub, 18 years ago!)

Ed turned professional 10 years ago. He met up with Phil Barry (President of the EPPA) who helped him to refine his techniques, and put him in touch with trade links.

After initally piercing people in their own homes, Ed finally opened Chrome Incorporated 5 years ago.
