What is a piercing?
Piercing is a type of body art, a hole in which an ornament or jewel is inserted.
Piercing as one of the methods of body modification appeared a long time ago. Earlier people used it for religious reasons , for example Hindus. And in our time, it has become extremely popular in the beauty industry.
But what is the piercing needed for? Some people will say, “That's adolescent maximalism! It's not nice.” But they would be wrong... The desire to adorn yourself with an unusual earring is a need for self-expression, a way to demonstrate your belonging to a certain culture or to protest against it. Simply put, it's a way to "claim" your individuality, to be the way you want to be, going beyond outdated beauty frameworks.
