Patrick Poli
CEO & Founder
Innovator and Leader in the Tattoo and Piercing Industry
Biography
Patrick's journey began in 1998 when he established the Bournemouth Premier Body Piercing Centre in the UK. It was there that he began to rethink all aspects of the safety issues related to piercing and tattooing. He worked in collaboration with Bournemouth City Council to help establish health and safety regulations for piercing studios.
He then shared his knowledge of piercing procedures with the head of the NHS (UK National Health and Safety) in Basingstoke, UK, to further investigate employment issues related to safety problems and discrimination in the piercing workplace.
There's no mystery as to why Patrick decided to manufacture innovative products for the tattoo and piercing industry; Patrick created BioFlex Body Jewellery in 2000.
It's now known worldwide as the best jewelry you can get for your piercing, as it's based on a flexible, highly certified medical-grade plastic material.
