Body Art > Piercing
The following information is about Piercing.
Piercing Defined
Piercing is decorative only insofar as it allows the body to hold certain kinds of ornaments, which are inserted through the skin in a way that permits healing around the opening. Most commonly pierced are the soft tissues of the face, but many peoples, past and present, have also pierced other parts of the body. Ear, nose and lip ornaments, as well as pierced figurines, have been found in ancient burials of the Inka and Moche of Peru, the Aztecs and Maya of ancient Mexico and in graves of central Asian and Mediterranean peoples. The act of piercing is often part of a ceremony marking a coming of age, a change in status or the accession to office. Ornaments may be restricted to certain people or worn only on certain occasions. Because ornaments can be made of precious and rare materials -- ivory, gold, jade and precious stones such as diamonds and emeralds -- they may signal privilege and wealth.
