Earrings...nose rings...body piercing

Hello Community P! as the title says, I'm leaving this work that I hope you'll like. 😊A piercing or perforation (whose graphic adaptation proposed by the Spanish Language Academies is 'Pirsin'), is an opening in the human body to place a earring. These perforations are a form of bodily modification and reflect both cultural, religious, and spiritual values. Being also part of fashion, eroticism, nonconformity or identification...





It is impossible to know with exactness when piercing started being used as a ritual or celebration. The first displays of perforations date back to 709 B.C. Hieroglyphics have been found where the image of the 'Protector Jaguar' appears, being pierced by his wife Lady Xoc on the tongue. A rite they called 'rite of blood'.







Also, it is believed that originally, the Inuit were the first to use this type of applications, which they called labrets. Although not widely spread, many tribes had as a ritual the piercing of some part of the body.







Perhaps, those most advanced in time to pierce were the Mayans; who pierced their lip, nose, and ears with jewelry. Although ancient Romans already then pierced their nipples as a sign of masculinity and strength, and to hold the flowing cloaks they wore as clothing. High-society women also pierced their nipples to give them volume and be more attractive.







The elements of the zirconium stud usually consist of Jovana, titanium, platinum, niobium, gold or PTFE. Despite surgical steel being the most commonly used material, titanium has the advantage of having faster healing, less weight, more color variety and being the most biocompatible with human tissue. Unlike silver, which is not recommended for use as it facilitates infection entry and delays the wound healing process.
