The art of piercing through the centuries ✨
Permanent body art – such as tattoos and piercings – has been around for thousands of years around the world 🌍 Body decoration has always been an important part of aesthetics across cultures and eras. Even the oldest mummified body with piercings is over 5,000 years old!
Until recently, body art was often considered a taboo or "undesirable" phenomenon that belonged to vagrants and the fringes of society 🚫 Fortunately, culture and media are changing - today more and more people understand how special body art is and how great its meaning and aesthetics are.
Contemporary body art and design 🎨
Although piercings have been around for thousands of years, the procedure itself hasn't changed much. The difference is that the jewelry materials have become safer and the technology has become more modern. The latest development is the ear piercing system, which replaces the traditional ear gun.
What jewelry is used for piercings? 💍
Gold – popular and skin-friendly, but expensive. To save yourself the expense, opt for 14k or 18k gold instead of 24k.
Titanium is the most commonly used metal today. It is hypoallergenic, safe, and relatively affordable.
Steel – aesthetic and budget-friendly.
❌ Never pierce yourself or with regular jewelry! A sharp and sterile piercing needle prevents infection and ensures safer healing.
Where can you get your body pierced? 👂👃👄💫
There are countless types of piercings – each with its own style and care requirements.
Most popular:
- Ears (lobe, helix, tragus, etc.) 👂
- Nose (septum, nostril) 👃
- Navel 💎
- Lips (snake bites etc.) 👄

Are piercings harmful? ❓
No, if they are done professionally and properly cared for. Complications usually occur due to poor hygiene or improper procedure. Pay attention to the salon and the master, how professional and confident they work, how clean the salon is, what other customers have said. Check that new and sterile piercing earrings (or piercing needles) are used for the procedure.
Why you shouldn't use an ear piercing gun? 🔫
Piercing guns can cause problems – such as keloids (scar tissue), which can be painful and incurable. Almost all professionals today admit that piercing by hand is safer than shooting with a gun .
