What Body Piercings Say About You
Body piercings have been gaining in popularity over the last few decades, especially since the punk and underground movements broke in the late ‘70’s. People from all walks of life have body piercings now, and it’s not only people that celebrate that type of lifestyle. Lawyers, doctors, teachers – people you might not associate with body piercings might have at least one piercing somewhere on their body. Earrings alone are so last decade’s news – the trend is unusual holes with colorful jewelry. But where you get a body piercing says a lot about your personality type, to be honest.
Some people choose to get a piercing that’s not very visible, say below the belt, belly button, or some place less obvious to the naked eye, like the inside of the ear. Tragus, anti-tragus and daith piercings have taken the place of more common lobe, cartilage and industrial piercings as the ear piercings to have. These piercings tend to say that a person likes the fashion of an unusual ear piercing, but doesn’t feel comfortable flaunting their uniqueness to the entire world, as these piercings are less obvious that others. Some people enjoy the pain of the piercings, as they tend to go through quite a bit of cartilage for the end result. The location of the piercing says a lot about the wearer’s pain tolerance and freakishness.
Other people enjoy obviously visible body piercings, especially on the face – eyebrow, lip, labret, Monroe and Medusa piercings draw attention to the wearer’s face instantaneously in a “Hey, look at me!” statement. Sometimes a facial piercing can be a mark of rebellion, or it can be an “I don’t care what you think of me, this is who I am” phrase that’s screamed to the world. Still others choose the freakish piercings, such as sub dermal, which are piercings that go under the skin. Not as common as facial or hidden piercings, these can include sub clavicle, thumb web, or corset piercings. These piercings let the world know that the wearer is deeply immersed in the subculture lifestyle, and that they enjoy the pain and attention that these piercings bring.
Body piercings of all types bring certain uniqueness to each individual, from those just wanting to experiment to those that have been piercing for years and enjoy the pain and individuality that body piercings bring.
