Ear piercing - beauty is out of time

The word "piercing" is now not so easy to surprise anyone. In the rating of the most popular directions of bodmod (body modification - modification of the body) it is undeniable and has long occupied the first lines. And between the huge variety of punctures one of the favorites is piercing in the ears.

Man from the barbarian years strove to decorate his body, and the most ideal place for this was the ears. They are open to the eyes of others, and easily attract attention. The relief of the auricle is anatomically complex, and this makes it possible to embody the most unthinkable fantasies of earrings lovers. In addition, the piercing in the ear heals faster than in other parts of the body.

Fashion industry did not fail to take advantage of this and made earrings an accessory that was not subject to time, and the word "piercing" became synonymous with sexuality. However, the modification of the ears is done not only for the sake of obtaining aesthetic pleasure - it also allows you to get rid of labels, stand out from the crowd, join an informal style, or simply spiritually approach your idol.

It is believed that the fashion for piercing is established by Western culture. This statement is only partially true, because it "works" only in the modern world. After all, for example, in the old Europe only people who belong to certain social groups and estates were allowed to pierce their ears . But the progressive community has made a big leap, and ear piercing has ceased to be an ordinary decoration of the body. Informal subcultures have made of it own attribute, some distinctive sign, a symbol of protest. This is what prompted the society to move from the traditional puncture to the ornamentation of earrings almost all of the ear.

At present, about ten basic variations of the ear piercing can be counted. Of course, the most conservative representatives of the population pay tribute to the traditions and are limited only by puncturing the lobe. More creative and defiant, despite the generally recognized framework, pierce the length and breadth of even the ear cartilage. Very extreme comrades put into their ears open and closed tunnels (plagi), and extreme-advanced individuals are able to combine in one ear all kinds of punctures.

Ear piercing has long become an inalienable detail of the image of many people, regardless of their gender, age, worldview, or specialty. But why, then, do some of them manage to balance the tribute of fashion and their own style, while others look ridiculous and miserable? The secret lies not only in the individual's sense of measure, taste and sanity. A very important role is played by the personal attitude of the world: is there a person for whom he is betraying himself and who is positioning himself. Punks, goths and other adepts of subcultures will look very organic with the appropriate external attributes, and although a look at the piercing of the ear and other parts of the body will cause the most contradictory feelings, but still, these punctures and decorations will harmoniously fit into the image.

It's clear that a bank employee with tunnels or a school teacher with a "barbell" in the eyebrow or a ring in the nose will look a bit ridiculous and extremely inappropriate with respect, at least, to the place of work. But nevertheless there are among the youth the true victims of fashion who are ready to mindlessly copy and "try on yourself" 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 a ton of iron in themselves and in geometric progression to increase the number of holes on the body. They do not think that such excesses can become boring with time and further spoil life. After all, if a small hole in the lobe grows over time, then a large hole left after an unnecessary tunnel will simply hang in the form of an unaesthetic piece of skin. Agree, the spectacle is not the most pleasant, and it is possible to correct this only with the help of surgical intervention. Therefore, whether you are piercing the ear, or the navel, or the nose, it is important that this is done carefully, neatly, and does not spoil the impression of your style.
