What’s Wrong With Piercings?











Body Piercing
About seventy years ago it was thought that piercing of ears was not good for girls however in these days it has become conventional even in men. Men and women not only pierce their nose and ears but also other body parts like tongue, belly, chin etc. They do so to give themselves a unique look.

The use of jewelry especially the earrings were started about in the late 60s. The people of that time slightly changed themselves and considered themselves stylish as compared to their ancestors. However the males with earrings were not supposed to be good and the people started to say that “right is wrong while left is right.” This saying became common as the gay of that time was used of wearing earrings in the right ear. This statement was causing problems for them as they wanted such an account which could help them to determine the sex. To solve this problem they started to say “right is right while left is gay”. And for many years the people keep on saying this and the wearing of earrings in the left ear became a sign of males. This indication remained for years and years but not now. 

Male ear piercing was rare till early 80s however became ordinary in the late 80s and early 90s. It became usual when people started to like it but even then the male ear piercing was not liked by some people. They thought that it was a symbol of indecency. Showbiz has played a significant role to make it popular. When the people saw showbiz celebrities, idealized by many peoples, they tried to imitate them by wearing earrings. Finally, piercing got much popularity and acceptance even among the elite class. Now a days as people feel no danger in body modifications because of safe techniques which is much more than a hole in the ear. 

Although it is not accepted by all yet few people are still practicing this unique activity which includes tongue and muscle piercing and others like this. These modifications may be harmful for body parts therefore now people rarely think about it.
