Tracing its history as far back as the oldest human mummies, body piercings have a long and rich, cultural and spiritual history in ancient Egyptian. The Ancient Egyptians loved to beautify themselves with unique body piercings particularly, their earlobe as a sign of wealth and beauty, though there were restrictions. It was only Pharaoh that was allowed to pierce his navel and anyone found with such would be executed.
In this modern era, body piercing is now changing the fashion trend and has become common amongst people, as it has moved beyond the most revealing such as earlobe, nose, lip, tongue, eyebrows; to the odd parts like nipples, navel, chest, and genitals, to mention but a few. bod piercing is a puncture made in the body by cutting or creating.
