Often identified with counter-culture, body piercing is a practice that helps modern day humans reconnect with the heritage of past traditions while creating a unique avenue for symbolic self-expression. The use of pain as a transcendental experience, jewelry being the proof of that process, is not a new thing under the sun. Men and women have since ancient times used piercing in religious practices, to signify ownership or devotion, or to add a little zing to their sex life.
Modern piercing is done mainly two ways: either with a piercing gun or a hand-held needle. There is some debate as to the safety of the gun method; there is no way that the instrument can be properly sterilized without destroying it. Nonetheless, a piercing is created in the earlobe, the cartilage, the septum—or many, many other places—by punching a hole in the skin and inserting a piece of jewelry.
