 Piercing
Piercing and body modification (BM) is a hot topic in many countries today. Not only in
the BDSM lifestyle, but also in the general population, body piercing has been discovered
as a form of body decoration, which ranges from the simple decoration plug to complex
intimate piercing. Many young people beginning as early as age 14 are having their ears,
brows,
lips, noses and tongues pierced. It has become so common, that only the parents of these
children seem to be shocked and bothered.
Despite the high incidence of piercings, information about it is difficult to find,
thereby
leading some persons to less than safe, sterile, and experienced piercing places.
We would like to, with the help of the renowned German Piercing Studio Sonja, give you
the information which will help you make educated decisions about having piercing
done.
 Basics Things about Piercings
Historically, piercing is a very old technique used in many cultures for centuries in
Africa, Asia, and the Orient. Originally, the piercings often had religious or cultural
references. Sometimes used to repel diseases or bad spirits and also used to symbolize
belonging to a group or tribe. Today, they are mostly considered decorative and jewelry
like. In the SM scene it is often used as a sign on subs/slaves, as for example in the
Story of O.
We wish to express our gratitude for the friendly support of the Piercing
Studios Sonja in Herxheim in researching this article.
