Body piercings have been around forever, but in recent times we have seen a huge resurgence in their popularity. For some time tattoos had taken the main stage, but today piercings are back and stronger than ever.
One of the main reasons for their popularity today is that people are now piercing non-traditional spots and that is really catching the attention of people.
Whether you want it on your face, torso, or any other part of your body, a piercing will definitely stand out. Moreover, the kinds of piercings that people get have also changed. Recently, snake eyes piercings have become very popular. If you are on the fence about what piercing to get, here are some popular options to consider.
Septum Piercing
The septum is the soft cartilage in the center of the nose that divides the nostrils. The reason this style is so popular these days is that the piercing works great with a variety of different looks. It can be used with both formal and informal looks. Knowing how to do a septum piercing is also very important and you want to make sure you get it done by a certified expert. Once the piercing is done there are plenty of options for decorating your septum piercing. One of the most popular styles is the snake bite look.
Nose Piercing
If you want something a bit more classic and something that isn’t that prominent, then consider a nose piercing. This is the traditional nose piercing that is done on one nostril. Again, if you want to make it the centerpiece of your look, you can fit it with a bigger decoration or you can use a small pinhead decoration for that classic look.
Tongue Piercing
In the past, tongue piercings were very limited. It was just about the pinhead piercing in the center of the tongue or close to the tip of the tongue. At most you could change colors but the piercing itself remained pretty much the same. Today, there are plenty of tongue-piercing options and many decorations to go with them. One of the most popular is the snake bite piercing on the tongue. This can be done using a C-shape hoop or even a straight bar. The piercing can be done right in the center of the tongue or a bit closer to the tip if you prefer.
Lobe Piercing
This is easily the most popular kind of piercing and it is one of the first piercings that people get. It’s easy to do, it’s cost-effective and it’s flexible with countless pin styles that can be used with this kind of piercing. Even if you want to have other piercings, it is a good idea to have a lobe piercing that you can use to achieve a simpler look with a pair of diamonds.
In the past, getting a piercing was painful but modern techniques have made it a lot safer and much less painful. Certain piercings, such as tongue piercings, are still painful since it isn’t really advisable to numb that area. Nonetheless, the process has improved with time. In any case, make sure you are getting your piercing done by a professional and that you are taking all the safety measures necessary to minimize the chances of infections and other complications.
