Like Tattoos, body piercings have a long history.
Did you know, that Mayan royalties had their genitals and tongues pierced?
Even during the prudish Victorian era, may women pierced their nipples.
Pirecing indicated sexuality throughout history, rites of passage an ritual initiation, very similar to Tattoos.
Body piercings have always been and still are common in tribal societies throughout Africa, Asia and South America.
In the U.S., piercing became mainstream during the 1990s and today it is perhaps more popular than ever.
