Let us now consider the various options for the body piercing. Almost the entire front body piercing - for decorative purposes. The most common place for piercing - ears. This was done since time immemorial. Women pierce their ears to wear jewelry in the punctures. Among Western people, a puncture in his ears was traditional for seamen, it was a sign that "the old sea-dog" crossed the equator - or simply superstitious remedy for rheumatism, or visual impairment. In desperate situations, a gold earring was the only valuable possession, and could pay for the funeral. In "primitive" society in the ears is often inserted multiple rings or barbells, and women from the island of Borneo are often pierced earlobes, stretched beneath their shoulders the weight ornaments.
