The word "piercing" is not so easy for anyoneto surprise In the rating of the most popular areas of bodod (body modification - modification of the body (English)), he is indisputable and has long occupied the first lines. And between the huge variety of punctures, one of the favorites is ear piercing.
A man of barbarous years has sought to adornmy ears, and the most ideal place for this. They are open to the eyes of others, and easily attract attention to themselves. The relief of the auricle is anatomically complex, and this makes it possible to embody the most incredible fantasies of lovers of earrings. In addition, piercing in the ear heals faster than in other parts of the body.
Fashion industry did not failtake advantage of this and made earrings an accessory that is not subject to time, and the word “piercing” has become synonymous with sex appeal. However, the modification of the ears is done not only for the sake of aesthetic pleasure, it also allows you to get rid of the labels, stand out from the crowd, join the unformatted style, or just spiritually approach your idol.
It is believed that the fashion for piercing is setwestern culture. This statement is only partially true, because it “works” only in the modern world. After all, for example, in old Europe only people belonging to certain social groups and classes had the right to pierce their ears. But the progressive community has made a big leap, and ear piercing has ceased to be a regular body decoration. Informal subcultures made of it their own attribute, a certain distinguishing mark, a symbol of protest. This is what pushed the society to move from the traditional puncture of the lobe to the earring decoration of almost the entire ear.
Currently, you can count about tenbasic variations of ear piercing. Of course, the most conservative representatives of the population pay tribute to traditions and are limited only to the puncture of the lobe. More creative and bold, contrary to the generally accepted framework, pierce up and down even the ear cartilage. Extreme comrades completely insert open and closed tunnels (plugs) into their ears, and extremely advanced individuals are able to combine all types of punctures in one ear.
Ear piercing has long been almostan integral part of the image of many people, regardless of their gender, age, worldview, specialty. But why then do some people manage to keep a balance between tribute to fashion and their own style, while others look ridiculous and pathetic? The secret lies not only in the individual's sense of measure, taste, and sanity. Personal perception of the world also plays a very important role: is there a person for whom he claims to be and who he positions himself. Punks, goths and other adherents of subcultures will look very organic with appropriate outdoor paraphernalia, and although looking at ear piercing and other parts of the body will cause the most contradictory feelings, yet these punctures and decorations will harmoniously fit into the image.
It is clear that a bank employee with tunnelsor a school teacher with a “barbell” in an eyebrow or a ring in the nose will look a little ridiculous and extremely inappropriate with respect, at least, to the place of work. But still there are real fashion victims among young people who are ready to copy and “try on themselves” absolutely everything that, one way or another, can be attributed to glamor and style. They do not care about their own "I", it is more important for them to insert into themselves a ton of piece of iron and to increase the number of holes in the body in a geometric progression. They do not think that such excesses may eventually get bored and spoil life in the future. After all, if a small hole in the lobe over time grows, then the big hole left after the already unnecessary tunnel will simply hang in the form of an unaesthetic piece of skin. Agree, the spectacle is not the most pleasant, and it can be fixed only with the help of surgical intervention. Therefore, whether you are doing an ear piercing, or a navel, or a nose piercing, it is important that this be done deliberately, carefully, and not spoil the impression of your style.
