Getting your nipples or genital pierced has become very popular among both men and women, while the other types of piercing like tongue, nose and eye brow or naval are still gender specific. Back thousands of years ago Body piercing jewelry was popular among tribes as a sign of wealth and prosperity; you can see a lot of references of body piercing in the bible. Although body piercing jewelry was not popular until about 20 years ago, it actually has a very long history. Look through the archives the first recorded body jewelry piercing comes from evidence in the middle east of a nose ring piercing recorded over 4,000 years ago.
The most popular piercing jewelry are earlets, labret rings, ear barbells, navel rings, and nipple rings. Today’s generation, believe it or not, much like ancient society throughout history, have gone to the more extreme multiple piercing of various body parts. Body jewelry has come a very long way, look back in history many women only pierced their ears while men did not pierce anything on their bodies, today that has all changed.
Once body piercing was limited to those that were adventurous and, piercing was limited to a few parts of the body. Among the most popular body piercing jewelry, earrings once topped the list. The term body jewelry means that it is displayed on various parts of the body like, naval, ears, tongue, genital, nipples and eye brows, many young people are doing this and it becoming a part of the mainstream and defining certain styles and fashion trends. Be careful about the piercing process too and ensure its sterilization as well.
Jewelry has always spruced up the fashion sense of the young and the old, jewelry brings a certain flair to every special occasion. Everywhere you look body piercing jewelry is seen everywhere, the younger generation has brought the trend into mainstream fashion quite quickly and is now apart of today’s fashion style in the United States. The new trend today is body jewelry and it has slowly influencing many fashion trends like the midriff shirts, the smaller shirts allow the belly button ring to be seen by everyone.
Fashion is about looking exotic, be it at the cost of comfort. Most people think that body jewelry is something new to the fashion world, in reality body piercing dates back to ancient times.
You can now shop online for your body jewelry. Many people are finding that they are able to find the body jewelry much cheaper when shopping online. The online store have a larger selection and sometimes offer a discount if you buy more than one type of body jewelry. Belly button rings have become the largest body jewelry sale item on the internet.

Gold Piercing Body Jewelry Practical Guide

Gold Piercing Body Jewelry Practical Guide
Adorning the body with gold is a sensual experience. Gold jewelry for body piercing is extremely popular today, a revival from a long history from the earliest humans on earth. Whether your interest in body piercing stems from the desire to be fashionable, as a status symbol or to heighten your sexual enjoyment, popular demand has increased the number of piercing studios and choices in gold body jewelry.
Today’s body piercing evolved from different cultures across the globe. This ancient art could well be the most widely practiced form of body adornment. It was also practiced by the Romans who saw nipple piercing as a sign of courage, in addition to using them to attach their cloaks. The Kama Sutra from classical India depicts scenes of genital piercing. We find evidence of ears, lips and hands being pierced in South America, Africa and Borneo.
Today body piercing artists have taken this heritage and combined it with modern hygiene and piercing techniques, creating new types of piercings such as the ‘diath and rook’ invented by Eric Dakota. The most notable change in the nature of body piercing came a few years ago when fashion world models strutted the catwalk with navel and eyebrow piercings, creating a new wave of general public interest. This opened up a new realm of possibilities for people and confirmed to those already in the know the wide extent of the practice.
Practical Guide to Body Piercing
When you decide to have any part of your body pierced, remember that this is more than fashion, it involves your health. It is wise to keep these points in mind:
The piercing studio should be registered, check for the appropriate permits and certificates.
The person who performs your body piercing should wear gloves, protective clothing, hair covering and should wash their hands before they pierce you.
All instruments should be sterilized and all surfaces, including the floor are smooth and wipe able.
Only disposable needles should be used, with all dressings (gauze, cotton pads) and gold body jewelry sterile packed.
Piercing Guns
The gold body jewelry used with ear piercing guns are not ideal for piercing for several reasons, first being that the guns cannot be sterilized because they are made of plastic and would melt in the sterilization unit. Second, they do not provide a clean, surgical cut, the jewelry is forced through the tissue, causing extensive trauma, because the ends are rounded, not sharp. Piercings done in this fashion are slow to heal and there is an increased risk of inflammation and/or infection.
After Care
Piercings done with the proper equipment usually take from six to eight weeks to heal at which time the jewelry can be changed without any problem. Quality aftercare of your piercing has a great impact on the amount of time your body needs. Healing is one thing, it takes much more time for the pierced skin to adjust and be accepted by your body. After the initial change, is it s a good idea for the jewelry to be left in the piercing at all times for at least the first six months but a longer period is better.

Body piercing & Body piercing jewelry since ancient times.
History of Body Piercing
Introduction
Evidence suggests that body piercing has been practiced by
peoples all over the world from ancient times. Mummified
bodies with piercings have been discovered, including the
oldest mummified body discovered to date, that of Ötzi the
Iceman, which was found in an Austrian glacier. This mummy
had an ear ring 7–11 mm in diameter.
Nose piercing and ear piercing are mentioned in the Bible.
In Genesis 24:22 Abraham’s servant gave a nose ring and
bracelets to Rebekah, wife of his son Isaac. Nose piercing
has been common in India since the 16th century. Tongue
piercing was popular with the elite of Aztec and Maya
civilization, though it was carried out as part of a blood
ritual and such piercings were not intended to be permanent.
Ancient Mesoamericans wore body jewelry in their ears,
noses, and lower lips, and such decorations continue to be
popular amongst indigenous peoples in these regions.
Modern history
However, in many cultures within the United States, it
became a relative rarity from the 1920s until the 1960s. At
that time, it regained popularity among American women, and
was eventually adopted by men in the hippie and gay
communities, and later the punk subculture, they used most
body jewelry. By the 1980s, male ear piercing had become
somewhat common in the United States, although men usually
only pierced one of their ears. Today, single and multiple
piercing of either or both ears is extremely common among
Western women, and fairly common among men.
Body piercing is returning to the mainstream of modern
Western cultures as attitudes and values change. Piercings
that don’t conform to cultural norms — for example, facial
piercings or ear piercings for men — can still be
considered inappropriate.
While some people consider body modification with Body
Jewelry to be a sign of non-conformity, others deride body
piercing as trendy. This can at times lead to prejudice or
cognitive bias against those with piercings or visible signs
of past piercings.
