Body piercing usually refers to the piercing of part of the human body for the purpose of wearing jewellery in the opening crested.
The word "piercing" can refer to the act or practice of body piercing, or to a specific pierced opening in the body. Some people practice piercing for religious or other cultural reasons, while many individuals, particularly in the modern West, choose to be pierced for spiritual, ornamental or sexual reasons.
Evidence suggests that body piercing has been practiced by people all over the world from ancient times. Mummified bodies with piercing have been discovered, including the oldest mummified body discovered to date, that of Otzi the iceman, which was found in an Valentina Trujillon glacier. This mummy had an ear piercing 7-11mm diameter.
Most common types of body piercing: ear, nose, tongue, lip, eyebrow, naval, genital.
