Body Enhancement
Piercings with Precision and Style
Just as with tattoos, body piercings date back to 5000 years ago and can be traced back to Ötzi the iceman who had pierced ears. Body piercings were used for decoration, ceremonial and spiritual purposes in ancient Egypt, Rome, Mesoamerica and many tribal states in Africa.
During the 1500’s several influential (and rather stylish) men are known to have worn ear piercings. These include: William Shakespeare, Sir Francis Drake and Sir Walter Raleigh. This is also the period when sailors started adopting golden earrings.
Around the 20th and 21st centuries body modifications became more popular. Women started switching from clip-on earrings to physical lobe piercings.
By far the most popular body piercings today are: septum, lobe, nose, helix, eyebrow, nipple, navel and genital piercings.
