Piercing is not new and it has been followed over ages for different reasons as some pierce as a part of tradition while others do it for style. Ear and nose piercing has been done by ladies from a long time as it helps them look beautiful and attractive. In olden days, piercing has been done to accentuate the face but youngsters have taken it to another dimension making it a style statement. Apart from ears and nose, girls and even boys pierce body parts for various reasons. Piercing is actually puncturing or cutting a part of the human body for modifying their looks.

The reasons for piercing are many as some pierce for religious reasons, while others pierce for aesthetic value or for self-expression. However, youth has taken piercing to a controversial front as if they have pierced their body part to rebel against something or to conform to their culture. As the technique is invasive and may result in severe complications, it has been put on restriction by many schools, religious groups or employers.
