Body Piercing is an alternative human performance art that emerged in the UK in the middle of the last century. In the early stage, it mainly borrowed and integrated traditional ear-piercing, Indian nose-piercing, African bone-piercing nose and Indian feather-piercing forehead and other tribal cultures. Now, body piercings can be pierced in the ears, nose, mouth, lips, breasts, navel and other places to wear accessories.

 

The art of body piercing has swept the world due to the “Punk Wave” in the 1970s in the United Kingdom and the “Hip Movement” in the United States at the same time. At that time, hippies and punks liked to keep long hair, wear Indian-style headscarves, wear jeans, Indian shirts, and hand-made neck ornaments or metal jewelry.

 

In addition to rock music, tattoos and graffiti, body piercing became another major way for young people to express their personality at that time.

 

Most countries in India and Africa should be the origin of piercing. In India, there has been a custom from ancient times – piercing. They regard piercing as a call to nature, and it also exists as a belief. They will think that a little pain will eliminate disasters and avoid disasters. Difficulty and good weather, people with piercings abound on the streets of India. African countries regard piercing as a family culture. They believe that beasts will be afraid when they see holes, rings, and nails on their faces and bodies, so as to save their lives. , so it is not surprising that there are perforations on the body, whether adults or children.

 

In Europe and the United States, piercings became popular in the early 1970s, and they represented those who played metal rock music. Many band members were all “nails” on their faces.

 

“When the human spirit reaches a certain level, pain will also become a kind of enjoyment. At the moment of passing through the flesh, all troubles will be forgotten, and it will feel like being baptized, and you will get a great and very spiritual feeling. Great sense of release.”
