It was interesting to discover the various reasons for modifying the body that ranged from religion to status in varying cultures. Evidence suggests that Roman soldiers pierced their nipples as a sign of virility so piercing has clearly been around for many years.
There are many risks involved with piercing that include: infection, allergic reaction, cross contamination, negative judgement from others and pain. So with all that in mind why do people choose to do it? Part of the appeal to some individuals is that others will perceive them in a different way. Some will be fascinated by it and love it others will hate it. But as for the person who has it done they really must love it as it takes commitment to look after the area after piercing and obviously there is a cost involved.
For those of us who are too scared to have an actual piercing done then we could try fake nostril rings, belly button rings or tongue rings available on the following link (and no sadly I am not on commission).
