Lip Piercings are cool in ancient times

In the society of the ancient Aztecs and Mayans, a man who has a lip piercing is a member of the higher caste and he usually wears jewelry made from gold and jade. Today, a lot of people, including some celebrities, wear lip rings because of the way it allows them to express themselves.

Yes, you will get piercing points with your bad boy and girl friends. Also, do not underestimate the lip piercing procedure. It is a decision that involves facing risks and consequences that might cause you to regret your actions later. Also, you have to remember that a lip piercing isn’t something that you can just remove after you have grown tired of it. So, if you’re still up to getting a lip piercing, here are some things you need to take note of before going through it.

Who and Where? Lip piercing pointers.

Ask around and pick an artist who is well-recommended. Make sure that he has a certificate from the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). This is an organization of piercing artists that make safety rules that prevent you from incurring health risks due to piercing. Also, pick a piercing salon that is clean and has artists who sanitize their hands before doing a piercing. You should also make sure that they use sterilized needles in sealed packages and not a piercing gun. Remember that piercing guns cannot be sterilized and if they use one on you, you’re bound to get an infection from your piercing.

The Placement

Since you will be living with it for the rest of your life, you should know where you want to have your lip piercing done. Putting a lip ring on your lower lip is very much recommended because it doesn’t have any contact with your gums and wouldn’t cause any damages in this area in the future.

You can also have a labret stud on the area below your lower lip. This is also called a labret. Because the flat disk is squeezed between the back of the lip and the gums, the placement of this lip piercing is very important because it can hurt your gums.

If you’re feeling adventurous, it is also possible to put a labret stud above the upper lip. Because it is related to the placement of Marilyn Monroe’s beauty mark, it is called a Monroe piercing. And, if you are a very daring person, you can also opt for Angelbites, which consists of two upper lip piercings on both sides of the lip. Only labret studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Snakebites, on the other hand, are just like Angelbites. The difference is that Snakebites are found on the opposite sides of the lower lip and both rings and studs can be used for this type of lip piercing. Read the rest of this entry »

Short history of the roots of Body Piercings

Body piercing is a trend and cultural tie as old as our organized human civilization itself. According to some history experts the prevalence of this trend can be dated back to many centuries ago. Ancient Babylon had earrings and other body jewelry. Many civilizations including Greece and Rome of course had body piercings that adorned there people. In 1991, the discovery of an “iceman” mummy with his ears pierced, on the border of Italy can be a proof.
