The Ultimate Guide to Piercing Locations Piercings have long been the sign of rebellious teens. However, before they hit tween popularity through chick flicks and tattoo magazines, they were a sign of respect among the members of tribes and clans. Today, the symbolism behind piercings has evolved yet again. From a sign of tribal position to a mark of rebellion against the conservative attitudes of the yesteryear, it has now evolved into an art form. Piercings used to be limited to the earlobes, cartilage and possibly bellybutton back in the day. Now, men and women alike get pierced in their genitals, tongues, lips, nipples and anywhere else. While some people might think of it as a perversion, it takes a practiced eye to recognize it for what it really is: an art form that is still in its opening stages, which very few are true masters of. If you are considering a piercing, there is nothing to advice against it. However, you need to keep in mind that people are still very judgmental about them. If you have the guts to ignore what the common crowd says and become a true individual by asserting yourself in an exterior fashion, piercings are for you. The infographic below from www.dreammodels.dk shows the typical locations of piercings on the human body, the amount of pain you will experience, and the popularity of each one.
