He has a number of visible implants, his eyeball tattooed, multiple stretched piercings, a [[Split tongue|split tongue]], [[Scarification|scarification]] and various other heavy modifications.
-'''Jim Ward''' is the founder of [[Gauntlet]].
-Almost everything you see today in the western body piercing scene can be traced back to Jim Ward. While certainly not the earliest [[Piercer]] on record - [[Jack Yount]] was piercing 20 years when Jim started [[Gauntlet]] - Ward took piercing out of the back room and into the strip mall (metaphorically speaking) with the opening of the first Gauntlet in the late 1970's.
-Ward first saw the pierced nipples of 'famous' NYC leatherman Fernando some years earlier and, with the meeting of [[Doug Malloy]] in [[1973]], earned his place in piercing history.
-He began publishing [[Piercing Fans International Quarterly]] ('''PFIQ'''), '''P'''iercing '''F'''ans '''I'''nternational '''Q'''uarterly, in [[1977]]. These early issues are a treasure to anyone interested in the early roots of the western piercing scene.
-Ward eventually sold controlling interest in his Gauntlet chain, and, without his guidance, it crumbled. While the name was tarnished by a piano salesman, those who know Jim, or his contribution to the lifestyle, can't help but give props to this Elder of the Community.
-He published a book called [[Running the Gauntlet]], containing the series of articles he wrote for BME between 2003-2005.
+He has been piercing professionally since 2002 and opened his own custom tattoo and piercing studio, [[First Blood]], (Darlinghurst) in 2010 where he is the head body piercer.
