The History of Body Piercings - Ancient and Fascinating Around the World

Body piercings have seen a resurgence of interest in the last ten to twenty years and are becoming more and more a part of the mainstream Western culture. Take a look at any fashion or entertainment magazine and you’ll see plenty of well-known celebrities with body piercings like navel rings or a labret. You might be surprised to find out that piercing is actually an ancient form of expression that most cultures have practiced at some time or other for thousands of years.

Egyptian body piercings reflected status and love of beauty

The earliest known mummified remains of a human that was pierced is over 5,000 years old. This worthy gentleman had his ears pierced with larger-gauge plugs in his ears, so plugs may be one of the oldest forms of body modification there is! We also know that the Egyptians loved to adorn themselves elaborately, and even restricted certain types of body piercings to the royal family. In fact, only pharaoh himself could have his navel pierced. Any one else who tried to get a belly button ring could be executed. (Tell that to Britney Spears!) Almost every well-to-do Egyptian wore earrings, though, to display their wealth and accent their beauty. Elaborate enameled and gold earrings frequently portrayed items in nature such as lotus blossoms.

Body piercings are also mentioned in the Bible. In the Old Testament it’s obvious that body jewelry is considered a mark of beauty and wealth, especially for Bedouin and nomadic tribes. In many cases, body jewelry was given as a bridal gift or as part of a dowry. It is clear that piercing was a sign of status and attractiveness in Biblical times.

Romans were practical piercers

Romans were very practical people, and for them piercing almost always served a purpose. Roman centurions pierced their nipples not because they liked the way it looked, but to signify their strength and virility. It was a badge of honor that demonstrated the centurion’s dedication to the Roman Empire. As a symbol, it was important and served a specific function, unifying and bonding the army. Even Julius Caesar pierced his nipples to show his strength and his identification with his men.

Genital piercing through the head of the penis was performed on gladiators, who were almost always slaves, for two reasons. A ring through the head of the penis could be used to tie the organ back to the testicles with a length of leather. In gladiatorial combat, this prevented serious injury. With a large enough ring or bar, it also prevented the slave from having sex without the owner’s consent. Since the gladiator was “property,” a stud fee could be charged to another slave owner for the highly prized opportunity to raise the next generation of great fighter.

Making love or war, piercing makes it better

Going across the ocean at around the same time, the Aztecs, Maya and some American Indians practiced tongue piercing as part of their religious rituals. It was thought to bring them closer to their gods and was a type of ritual blood-letting. The Aztec and Maya were warrior tribes, and also practiced septum piercing in order to appear fiercer to their enemies. Nothing looks quite as frightening as an opponent sporting a huge boar tusk thrust through his nose!

This practice was also common among tribes in New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Some of the materials commonly used were bone, tusks and feathers. Hundreds of years later, French fur trappers in Washington State discovered American Indian tribes who wore bones through their septum and called them the Nez Perce, meaning “Pierced Noses” in French. It’s interesting that civilizations separated by thousands of miles and even centuries often developed a love for the same kind of body piercings to enhance certain features, isn’t it?

In Central and South America, lip labrets were popular for purely aesthetic reasons – women with pierced lips were considered more attractive. In fact, the holes were often stretched to incredible size as progressively larger wooden plates were inserted to emphasize the lips as much as possible. (Kind of like collagen today). The Aztecs and Maya also sported lip labrets of gold and jade, many of them elaborately carved into mythical or religious figures or sporting gemstones. These were seen as highly attractive and to enhance sexuality.

As the world moved into the dark ages, interest in piercing died down somewhat and the medieval church began to condemn it as sinful. For a few hundred years, Western civilization abandoned the practice. As the Renaissance went into full swing, however, interest in piercing began to pick up again.

A new era and a new interest in body piercings

Sailors became convinced that piercing one ear would improve their long-distance site, and so the site of a sailor with a gold or brass ring became common. Word also spread that should a sailor be washed ashore after a shipwreck, the finder should keep the gold ring in exchange for providing a proper Christian burial. Sailors were both religious and superstitious, so they generally spent a lot for a large gold earring to hedge their bets.

Men became much more fashion-conscious during the Renaissance and Elizabethan eras, and almost any male member of the nobility would have at least one earring, if not more. Large pearl drops and enormous diamond studs were a great way to advertise your wealth and standing in the community. It could also designate royal favor if your earring was a gift from a member of the royal family.

Women, not wanting to be outshone by the men in all their finery, began to wear plunging necklines, with the Queen of Bavaria introducing the most outrageous, which consisted of not much at all above the waist. In order to adorn themselves, women began piercing their nipples to show off their jewelry. Soon they began wearing chains and even strands of pearls draped between the two.

Men and women both discovered that these nipple piercings were also delightful playthings in bed, adding sensitivity to the breasts and giving the men both visual and tactile stimulation. Men began getting pierced purely for pleasure as well. While not entirely mainstream, piercing of the nipples and, occasionally, the genitals, continued to hold interest for members of the upper crust of society in Europe on and off for the next few hundred years.

The next resurgence of interest was, surprisingly, during the Victorian age, which is usually seen as very repressed. Prince Albert, future husband of Queen Victoria, is said to have gotten the penis piercing that is named after him in order wear the tight-fitting trousers so popular at the time. The ring could then be attached to a hook on the inside of one pant leg, tucked safely away between the legs for a neat, trim look. Although we have no record of Victoria’s response to the piercing itself, there is ample evidence she was wildly in love with her husband and almost never left his side after their marriage!

Soon, Victorian men were getting Prince Albert's, frenums and a variety of other piercings purely for the pleasurable sexual effects, and women were doing the same. By the 1890’s, it was almost expected that a woman would have her nipples pierced. In fact, some doctors at the time suggested it improved conditions for breastfeeding, although not all agreed. It was an interesting double standard –- plenty of people were doing it, but no one was talking about it.

Modern-day body piercings

In the last hundred years or so, body piercings in the Western world have mostly been limited to the ears, a standard hold-over from the fact that both men and women wore earrings during Elizabethan times. The Puritan movement did away with men wearing earrings, however, and it didn’t really regain popularity until recently.

Nose rings found new interest when young people (they were called hippies then) from the U.S. began traveling in India extensively looking for enlightenment in the 1960’s. They noticed the nostril rings that most women had been wearing there since the sixteenth century. In India, this was a form of traditional, accepted adornment and was often linked to an earring by a chain. For rebellious teens from America, it was a great form of rebellion.

After bringing nose piercings back to the U.S., the interest in body piercings of all kinds quickly caught on during the 1980’s and 1990’s. Celebrities, sports stars and singers all began sporting a variety of piercings. Soon, high school students and even stay-at-home moms were flashing new body piercings. And the rest, as they say, is history!

Neck ring

A neck ring is a band of metal worn as an ornament around the neck of an individual. In a few African and Asian cultures multiple neck rings are worn usually to stretch the neck. The Kayan tribe or Padaung tribe of Karen people from the border region of Myanmar and Thailand begin to wear neck rings when they are children. Gradually with age the number of "brass coils" worn increases to elongate the neck. The girls of the Ndebele people of South Africa wear neck rings to signify their marriages.

The custom of wearing neck rings is related to an ideal of beauty: an elongated neck. Neck rings push the collarbone and ribs down. The neck stretching is mostly illusory: the weight of the rings twists the collar bone and eventually the upper ribs at an angle 45 degrees lower than what is natural, causing the illusion of an elongated neck. The vertebrae do not elongate. In advanced stages the forces can cause trauma, such as occlusion of venous flow or hematoma.

When the coils are removed, there is no health danger. The only concern is that the neck muscles are atrophied, and are understandably weaker than the rest of the body. However, there is no proven medical concern for the removal of the coils.

Is Body Piercing Involves Risks?

Body piercing may sound like a new-age art but the truth is that we have been practicing it for centuries. Have you ever realised that even your earring hole is a form of body piercing? It is the most common form of body piercing practiced. In India, women routinely pierce their nostrils too. Instances of body piercing have been found in the Bible as well as in Egyptian Mummies.

Body piercing is the piercing of a body part in order to wear jewelery in the opening created. Does that sound crazy? For millions of teenagers and even older people, it is the biggest fashion accessory. People may undergo piercing for a number of reasons. While the most popular reason is aesthetics, sometimes people may pierce for religious, cultural, or sexual reasons. Unusual piercing locations include eyebrows, tongue, lips, nipples, neck, and genital regions. While these may appeal to youngsters, the reception from parents is less than approving. If you are planning to go for it, ensure that you are aware of the risks and possible complications.

Healing

A piercing is nothing but a small wound. Go to a registered body piercer so that the procedure you opt for is aseptic, that is, free from bacterial contamination. Many states in the US have government recognized registered practitioners. Follow the directions for after-care meticulously. Very soon, you will find the punctured tissue growing back and becoming part of the closed system. An eyebrow piercing will take about four to six weeks to heal while a neck piercing can take up to twelve months. Piercing your ear lobes means a healing period of 6 to 8 weeks.

Infections or irritation can occur only if the area opens due to some reason. For example, if you catch a nose ring on a coat hook, there can be problems galore.

Allergies

Quite a few body piercing enthusiasts may be allergic to piercing. A study on body art by Dr. Anne Laumann of North-western University found that women may be more allergic to body piercing. One in four women may display an allergic reaction to metal jewelery. The quality of the metal is of great importance. With a 14-karat gold stud, there is a greater chance of infection due to the amount of nickel in it. The risks may be minimized with pure 24-karat gold. Swollen and itchy, red skin are the primary signs of an allergy. Your doctor will suggest a topical steroid cream for it.

Closure

A common concern with people is how to prevent the opening from closing in case they do not wish to wear a ring in it regularly. For example, if you are pregnant, it is advisable not to wear a belly ring. However, you may wish to preserve the hole, it is definitely possible to do so. An inert, flexible insert made of Tygon is used for the purpose. Tygon is flexible plastic tubing that looks like a fishing line. Another option is PTFE or Teflon. A professional piercing artist or a dermatologist can do it for you.

Unusual Piercings

Oral piercing

If done improperly, there is every chance of your teeth chipping or breaking due to lip and tongue rings. Ask for studs in the lip to be placed in a neutral space along the lower gum line. This will prevent damage around the mouth area. Tongue piercing needs to be angled such that they do not catch in the palate on the roof of your mouth or the sublingual web along the bottom. Acrylic rather than metal jewellery is considered safest for the mouth region. This is because metal can easily chip teeth and cause injuries.

According to the Association of Professional Piercers, when properly performed, an oral piercing procedure will last only for a few seconds and involve no bloodshed or swelling. People with oral piercings are advised not to share plates and other eating utensils. Though the mouth is exposed to a variety of germs, the saliva has several antimicrobial factors that can easily defend you against these pathogens. However, if you go to an unsafe clinic or you default on your aftercare, there can be severe complications. Pain and bleeding, infections, dental and heart problems, injury due to swallowing the jewelery, drooling, and bad breath are some of the risks. The American Dental Association is against oral piercing and deems it a public health hazard. Some gruesome photographs only intensify the debate.

Navel Piercing

Studies have found that navel piercing is the most susceptible to infections. Surprisingly, even nipple and genital piercings are found to be safer. The irritation from clothing may pose a medical problem. Shirt materials, belts, waistbands, and buttons can create friction with the jewelery during movement. This is particularly aggravated during physical exertion. Small breaks occur in the skin, leading to infection. Another disadvantage with navel piercing is that moisture can easily collect in the area, which provides a hotbed for bacteria and fungus.

How Much Does Industrial Piercing Costs?

Industrial piercing became well-liked since 1992 although it has already been popular during the ancient times. Industrial piercing is commonly mistaken just for the ears; but it can also be done in the lip, tongue, belly button and in many other parts of our body. Industrial piercing is two or more piercing that is connected together by a piece of jewelry.

Today having industrial piercing is a sign of expression, and for those who are in love with arts; they allow themselves to become a living masterpiece. As stated earlier industrial piercing is not really new, it is quite old. As a matter of fact, it has been used by ancient Egyptians— making it one of the oldest forms of self adornment. During those ancient times, it was a sign of position, wealth and power.

This article aims to make you understand industrial piercing and why it costs so much. Is it a reasonable price or not?

The price will differ depending on the shop that you go to and how popular your piercer is. You can use the shop finder at safepiercing.org to find a piercer of good reputation in your area, then give them a call or you can go directly to them to find out how much they charge, but the popular the piercer is; the higher they charge for their service for sure.

Industrial piercing is not an ordinary piercing and you wouldn’t want to have it done by non-professionals. Although you may find a deal for less by going to some local specials, always remember to be safe than sorry. Normally, industrial piercing costs from $40-$70 depending on the piercer and the barbell that you want. The barbell is always included in the deal to avoid the piercing from closing.

Prices could also vary depending on the area that you would like to be pierced on. For this, I advise you to ask questions and ask yourself not just once but many times before proceeding.

In order to make sure of proper healing, the barbell should be properly aligned because if you try to heal it with two separate rings and then change to one barbell later; the tendency is the piercings will have migrated so slightly—putting stress to the holes and will cause you to have piercings that you wont really like at all. To make sure that the barbell will stay in place, putting it at once is advisable.

Helix Piercing and Helix Orbital Piercing- What’s the Difference

It is very common to many having their earlobes pierced and one of these two peircings is placed high on the ear. This is called helix piercing and not cartilage piercing as many thought. This is because the entire ear is made-up of cartilage.

Any piercing not on your earlobe is a cartilage piercing, the second and the third holes ascending from the earlobe are cartilage peircings. Helix is the most popular piercing in America next to earlobes. Helix piercing was the first among all industrial piercing. Unfortunately though many got their piercing done in malls using a piercing gun, this could be a dangerous act for you. If you want to have your piercing done, you must seek for a professional help. Go to a professional piercing parlor instead, to be assured of your safety. You will be sure that they are using a sterile and safe needle rather than a piercing gun that is unhygienic and damaging.

Holes pierced with hoop or rings are easier and faster to heal so most probably your piercer will recommend you this first before using the real barbell for your industrials, but of course, the decision is still yours. With the proper care and sanitation, your industrials will heal fast.

You will be asked by your piercer to sit on a chair that is almost similar to a dentist’s chair. He will then mark your ear and will ask you if you are satisfied with the location your piercing will be placed. Then he will push a needle to your helix and you have your piercing done instantly. The pain will only last for seconds. There have been rumors that your hearing, speech, nervous system, balance, etc will be affected. Do not believe it, those are just rumors.

A helix orbital on the other hand has two HELIX piercings that are joined together by a single piece of circular jewelry, hence, the name ORBITAL. This is to differentiate it to an industrial piercing where two holes are joined by a single straight bar called barbell. Helix orbital piercing is more complicated because your piercer needs to measure the distance of the two holes correctly.

Though it may look and feel okay after six months, your piercing is not yet fully healed. Usually cartilage piercing takes a year until it is fully healed. Before changing your jewelry, allow your piercing to heal first. Helix piercing is a great way to express your creativity and individuality.

10 Tips for Body Piercing

Body piercing is simply made by puncturing a part of your body using a needle. A piece of jewelry is inserted into the puncture after the process. It has been popular since ages ago, deemed unnecessary for most in the past, but it has been widely accepted as a form of self-expression in this decade.

Body piercing is prone to a potentially dangerous infection so you must ensure your safety first. We are giving 10 tips for you to consider.

1. Avail only for a professional body piercer.
Do not ever attempt to do the piercing by yourself. You have an increased risk of infection by going to a non-professional piercer. Be sure that your artist is experienced, reputable and reliable. Seek for a professional help for consultation before getting a body piercing.

2. Ask questions.
It is better to be safe than sorry right? So do not hesitate to ask questions and interview your piercer. Your health is in great risk and you don’t want to compromise it, don’ you? So ask questions about their procedures and cleanliness especially disease prevention. You can acquire diseases like Aids or hepatitis and many else from dirty needles. So never put your heath at stake and ask important questions.

3. Choose your piecing wisely.
Piercing has more of a lifetime consequence. Be certain that it can be done successfully because every body type is different. A perfect example is some people cannot have a tongue piercing done because of the orientation of their essential nerves and vessels in their tongue which can cause severe bleeding if punctured.

4. Think of its impact on your life.
Even though piercing is more acceptable nowadays it is still true that many employers wont hire you if you have piercings in your body. Many would look at you with a grin of discrimination.

5. Choose high quality jewelry.
Never go for design over quality, nor buy cheap and poor quality jewelry which can cause you infections. Find jewelries made of sterling silver, gold, titanium or surgical quality stainless steel. Only quality metals and high carbonated plastics are recommended for your piercing.

6. Keep it dry.
Keep your piercing away from saliva, sweat, chlorine water, or saltwater. These can penetrate to the wound and can cause you sickness and infections.

7. Keep it clean.

History of Piercing

Piercing is one of the oldest and most interesting forms of self-adornment. Though it wasn’t really socially accepted in the past, it is now widely accepted in today’s society. Before, people connote piercing with wrong impressions. Body piercing has been around the world since the early civilization. History tells us that it has been practiced by many cultures since then.


Piercing was believed to be an essential part of ancient culture’s physical and spiritual identity. Dated back on 9th century BC, a stone relief from Nimrud was the earliest evidence of body piercing. A 5,000 years old mummified body had an ear pierced in 7-11mm in diameter. This mummy is said to be the oldest recorded piercing.

When you’ll ask this generation, “why do you have to have your body pierced?” To express my individuality, this is the reason you will most likely hear from them. But piercing has their cultural meanings. In India for instance, they usually wear piercing in the left nostril or in some place. Sometimes both nostrils are joined to the ear by a chain.
The left nostril is more common to be pierced because it is associated to Ayuvedra, an Indian form of alternative medicine. They believe that piercing will make child birth easier and would lessen the period of labor.

To facilitate their communication with gods, the Mayan nobleman does ritual tongue piercing and bloodletting while a gold earring worn in the left ear signifies a government official in Tibet. New Guinea warriors wore tusks through the septum for a vicious appearance.

There are many cultural reasons behind body piercing. They may indicate affiliation to a clan or tribe. They may also indicate a social status or ranking in the society or level of success. A leader of a tribe or his family can be identified through body piercing in some culture. Warriors wear piercing to appear threatening. It can also be worn to enhance your sexual stimulation or to become attractive. It may also indicate a formal procedure of passage or a sign of authority. Still, others have piercings with the belief that it will ward off evil and illness.

piercing myths

Body piercing is cool and will make you attractive. Aside from the physical basis of piercing, it is also a symbolic act deeply embedded in your soul.

While the history of body piercing is obscured by a lack of scholarly reference and popular misinformation, ample evidence exists to document that it has been practiced in various forms since ancient times throughout the world.

When you look for more piercing information, some say that body piercing could give you paralysis and other bad infections. Your friends unfortunately back those things up.

So are you going to pursue for a body piercing or not?

There have been myths with the topic of body piercing. These myths have been passed on by one person to another, and they continue to be seen as a reality by some people.

What are some of the body piercing myths?

1. Piercing is a ground for paralysis. Numbness is only a possibility. This happens when an infection sets in and no action has been taken. But paralysis being a direct and instant result of piercing is a false claim. For example, if your eyebrow is incorrectly pierced, you won’t get numb. You will slightly feel uncomfortable because your nerves tend to hide. Nerve’s hiding is a natural way of protection from minor cuts and burns.
2. Drinking beer with a new oral piercing will cause a yeast infection that’ll form in your mouth. This is not true. However, it is not advised that you drink alcoholic beverages just after an oral piercing because the wound is on the process of healing. Alcoholic beverages destroy newly formed skin tissues, and that’ll lead to swelling.
3. Drinking beer before you get pierced is okay. Wrong again. Being intoxicated before piercing is being not cooperative. A drunken person is impossible to deal with, and it’s impossible to pierce him.
4. Salt is a natural way to heal the piercing. Salt alone will irritate a wound. To facilitate healing, you need to take anti-biotics and treat the wound with prescribed ointments. However, a salt solution of warm water and a little amount of salt is a relief to a wound in a labret, lip and tongue piercing. It is like an ice pack for strained muscle.
5. Body piercing is demonic or evil. Don’t believe it. Pierces have been a symbolic example of loyalty, bravery and power. In the past, our ancestors had been decorating their body with jewelry when conducting rituals. Piercing is a perfect expression of the life that our ancestors had.
6. Body piercing is a fad. If you review your world history, you will see that man had body piercing thousands of years ago. Different cultures from different lands had always piercing activities.
7. Using a piercing-gun is safe. Piercing-gun poses problems like contracting a disease. These guns have plastic parts that cannot be cleaned or sterilized and contracting bacteria from it is what always happens.
8. Bleeding, discoloration is sure signs of infection. These things can mean that the body is going a natural healing process. Any break on the skin will result to bleeding or swelling as normal reactions of the body.
9. If piercing becomes infected, remove the jewelry. If you want the skin to close up over the infection, resulting in an abscess then this is the way to go - otherwise, this is not a good idea. Once an abscess occurs, the infection will have to be surgically removed. Don’t be your own doctor. If there’s an infection, consult a doctor.
10. Genital piercing is more prone to infection than other body piercing. Genital piercing is the same with other piercing in the body and the possibility of infection is also the same. It’s just that there is a psychological fear in cleaning genital piercing compared to piercing in other parts of the body.
11. Piercing yourself is safe. The problem with doing it on your own is the risk of not having a clean environment, proper tools and sterilization. It is best to leave it to professionals than risking yourself to infection or any grave problem.
12. Piercing is painful. There is pain in piercing but anyone can survive it. But if you are still undecided just remember the phrase, no pain no gain.

What is Industrial Bar Piercing?

First let us define what is body piercing, body piercing is creating an opening in the human body in which a jewelry may be worn in that hole, it is simply defined as the practice of puncturing or cutting a human body. It may sound so simple yet it sounds so painful right? Imagine cutting or making a hole in your body, doesn’t that hurt?

Now let us discuss a more specific kind of body piercing, the industrial bar piercing. What is this all about? Basically any two piercing holes that are connected with an extra long barbell is called the cartilage piercing of the ear or industrial piercing. There is actually a standard in industrial, the two helix peircings. Helix is the folded rim of skin and cartilage around most of the outer ear. It is the rounded and hard part of our ear. But, industrials can be a wide range of connected piercings.

Industrial piercing in North America, sometimes called as scaffold piercing in UK and IRL or construction piercing is, like what we have said earlier, any two pierced holes connected with a single straight piece of jewelry. For further explanation, however, it typically refers to a double perforation of the upper ear cartilage. Two peircings are made, one of which is in the anti-helix piercing, located fairly close to the head. The second one is located further down the cartilage on the opposite side of the ear and is called the helix piercing. From behind the ear a straight barbell is inserted trough the first piercing then travels diagonally across the front of the upper cartilage. After it goes through the second piercing, it is secured with a screw-on bead behind the second hole.

Because you created a hole in the human body more especially in the ear cartilage, it will be needing more time to heal. Healing process is no joke because it is typically being healed in three months and can last for a year until it is fully healed. The danger of course is that during the process of piercing and in the healing period, it is prone to infection. The barbell jewelry is worn during the healing period; it is usually 14g and is made with a sterile hollow piercing needle. Captive bead rings aka CBRs are sometimes used instead of the barbell itself and are exchanged with the barbell after the healing is complete. The use of these CBRs results in faster healing but this technique may cause improper alignment of the piercings when exchange after the healing. A flexible plastic tube can also be used and swapped for a metal bar when it is healed. Two or more industrial piercing on one ear creates four or more holes. Hence, it is often called a cage.

Pocketing Versus Piercing

Pocketing is another type of piercing, which is depicted as ‘anti-piercing.’ The word itself explains that it is not something same as piercing. There is a difference between the two. In piercing, the center of the jewelry is under skin and the ends are exposed while in pocketing, the ends of the jewelry are under the skin, and middle is exposed, as shown in the pix here.

Even the jewelry is different for each. Pocketing jewelry is simply a curved bar (as shown below) with smooth ends but no beads. On the contrary, piercing jewelry has beads, jewels, etc. Pocketing jewelry is fitted to your skin and piercing jewelry is worn on any part of the body. There is a risk regarding the fall of pocketing jewelry while in piercing, the risk is there but the degree is less. Pocketing is less popular among the people than piercing.
