| <b>Tom Brazda</b>, along with artists like <a href="/index.php?title=Jon_Cobb" title="Jon Cobb">Jon Cobb</a> and <a href="/index.php?title=Steve_Haworth" title="Steve Haworth">Steve Haworth</a>, was part of a small and unconnected cadre of artists in the late 1980s and early 1990s that, standing on the shoulders of the industry's early pioneers, helped define modern <a href="/index.php?title=Body_Modification" title="Body Modification">body modification</a> as an industry.

| </p><p>Born in Czechoslovakia on October 2, <a href="/index.php?title=1965" title="1965">1965</a>, Tom and his activist family fled to Canada when he was a boy for fear of political reprisals against them. With a background in fashion design, Tom began piercing in 1991, and co-founded <a href="/index.php?title=Stainless_Studios" title="Stainless Studios">Stainless Studios</a> in Toronto with his partner <a class="new" href="/index.php?title=Stefan_Dewsbury&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Stefan Dewsbury (page does not exist)">Stefan Dewsbury</a> in mid-1994. Stainless was one of Toronto's first piercing studios, alongside <a class="new" href="/index.php?title=Body_Piercing_by_Tee&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Body Piercing by Tee (page does not exist)">Body Piercing by Tee</a>, <a href="/index.php?title=New_Tribe" title="New Tribe">New Tribe</a>, and <a class="new" href="/index.php?title=Way_Cool_Tattoos&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Way Cool Tattoos (page does not exist)">Way Cool Tattoos</a>. A number of BME's staff members worked at Stainless Studios including <a href="/index.php?title=Ryan_Worden" title="Ryan Worden">Ryan Worden</a> and <a href="/index.php?title=Shannon_Larratt" title="Shannon Larratt">Shannon Larratt</a>, who considers Tom one of his primary mentors.

| </p><p>Tom Brazda is credited with, and best known for, the creation (and perhaps more importantly, his scientific approach to refinement) of the <a href="/index.php?title=Surface_Bar" title="Surface Bar">surface bar</a>; although it appears to have been independently co-invented by others around the world (most notably Steve Haworth). Tom's influential article about surface bars in an early <a class="new" href="/index.php?title=Tattoo_Savage&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Tattoo Savage (page does not exist)">Tattoo Savage</a> surely had a huge impact. Tom is also credited with the creation of numerous other piercings, piercing tools, piercing aftercare techniques, and piercing techniques including the <a href="/index.php?title=T-bar" title="T-bar">t-bar</a> piercing, the <a class="mw-redirect" href="/index.php?title=Christina" title="Christina">Christina</a> piercing, the <a href="/index.php?title=Snug" title="Snug">snug</a> piercing, the <a href="/index.php?title=Upper_Lip_Frenulum_Piercing" title="Upper Lip Frenulum Piercing">scrumper</a>, and more. While it is true, of course, that others had attempted these mods, Stainless Studios' close ties to BME resulted in Tom's names becoming "public" names that usually stuck. It is common to see photos of Tom's work hanging on the walls of studios around the world.
