History is a subject that many people study in school starting at a very early age. Many people love studying history and some people hate studying history. It seems as if people who love studying history love doing so because they probably believe that history was full of rich and exciting events that will shape the future. People who hate studying history probably hate studying it because they probably believe that history is old and doesn’t have anything to do with future events. It is important to remember that there are many different types of histories to learn about and to explore such as American history, British history, and the history of dogs. If none of these histories interest you then perhaps you would like to know more about body piercing history. It might surprise some people that body piercing history began in ancient times. Body piercing is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn. Did you know that the culture norms reflected in body piercing are various? They may include religious, spirituality, fashion eroticism, and sub cultural identification; for example hippies might have pieced their bodies as a sign of peace, love, creativity, and individually in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition, from a religious standpoint, some Jewish people believe that piercing any body part is wrong; however many Jewish people have pierced their ears. It is also impressive to know that body piercing history goes back to ancient times. Evidence suggests that body piercing including ear piercing has been practiced by people all over the world in ancient times. Did you know that mummified bodies with a variety of piercings have been discovered? Also, it might be fascinating to note that nose piecing has been common in India since the sixteenth century. It is possible that ear piercing is the most popular type of body piecing because the art of ear piercing has been practiced by both men and women for centuries. However, in North America, Europe, and Australia, ear piercing was very rare from the 1920s to the 1960s. Did you know that ear piercing gradually became popular due to the men in the gay, hippie, and punk subcultures? The modern body piercing culture emerged from the gay, leather, and BDSM subcultures. Perhaps the modern piercing culture that started in the gay community has some classes in body piercing history. There seem to be world records for everything and body piercing is no exception to world records. Canadian Brent Moffat set the world record with 700 body piercings and, not to be outdone Elaine Davidson of Scotland was dubbed “most pierced woman with the most permanent piercings of 1,903. How’s that for some body piercing history.
