COOL PIERCING GIRL

The human body has become the “canvas” of creative and ideological desires. The impetus of body piercing started from the tradition of primitive people who used their body for either religious or social purposes. History proves that piercing was important to different tribes and cultures such as Egyptians, Greeks and Romans.

Nowadays, art has made a swift transition from the canvas and gallery, to the body and the street. As the youth continue to develop a great sense of fashion, the society has become more expressive through their clothes and body art. Body piercing is an old yet emerging trend among the youth and middle-aged group, who somehow surpass the conventional means of freeing their intense emotions and raging their rebellious beliefs. For millions of teenagers, body piercing is not only a fashion accessory but a form of expressing one’s “individuality.” Wearing a silver body piercing jewelry is a brazen expression of “belongingness” and “acceptance” in a certain taboo.

Though fashion constantly changes, the body-piercing craze will continue to be part and parcel of the youth’s getup. Today, whenever you go to malls or watch television, you’ll notice many people wear their noticeable body piercing jewelry as they would their underwear. It has become a necessity more than an accessory for they feel naked without it. Since body piercing is hip, people have it on their eyebrows, tongue, lips, nipples, neck, and even the genitals. While this might appeal to youngsters, one must not discount the fact that body piercing contributes to serious risks and complications.
