EXPLORING THE INTERSECTION OF FASHION AND CULTURE ABOUT PIERCING
Piercings have been a part of human civilization for years, it is not just happening now, it has different meanings and significance depending on the society. Piercings signify religious beliefs in some cultures, and they also represent prestige, beauty, and identity in others.
Piercing has been in existence and it is something that is always done for a female child after birth like piercing the ears in other to add more to her beauty, Africans believe that only a female child should undergo piercing not the other way round.
In this modern age people now abuse piercing to be fashionable, people are now piercing their navel, nose, tongues, eyelid, and so on, I sense this as stupidity and never a fashion anymore, how will a sane person wake up and decide to pierce all the body just for fashion?
Piercing is something that should be done moderately and not like having more than two piercings in the body, some guys are piercing all because of civilization, men were not allowed to pierce in the old generation but in the world today 90% of men are now wearing rings in their ears and call it fashion.
To my understanding, piercing serves as a means of identification for instance if you give birth to a child and pierce the ears, people will easily know that you have a female child, we believe that a female child should have a piercing some weeks after birth, though not everyone likes it, this depends on everyone belief and religion.
I love piercing because I am a woman, I love fashion and jewelry, it is another way of looking attractive in society, kudos to my mother for piercing my ears when I was little because I don't think I could undergo such pain now. I envy people who pierce their nose and make it moderate but as for me I can never be part of that, I do not like anything that will make me uncomfortable for days.
I followed one of my friends to a piercer, she wanted to pierce her tongue, she made a lot of drama that day and I was there feeling for her, she cried throughout the process and blood was gushing out from the wound, it took her days to heal, I felt her pain despite I was not the one going through the pain.
Being a piercer can be lucrative in other foreign countries but definitely not mine because Africans are strong, I have a friend who pierces her ears anytime she likes without consulting a piercer, she has turned herself into a goddess of piercing and I'm sure she won't be the only one who does that, we have women who are strong to undergo such pain.
Having multiple piercings can limit the job opportunities for someone, especially in most corporate organizations, people tend to see another form of human in you when you have multiple and visible piercings, they tend to tag you as irresponsible and you might lose the chance of getting yourself a better job.

No one will ever employ someone who has multiple piercings in my country, especially guys, people have different categories that they will always tag you, especially people who based their lives on religion, having multiple tattoos or piercings will automatically make you a devil reincarnated without getting to know you.
People are quick to judge especially the part where I come from, my mother will never stand a lady who has more than two piercings not to talk of a guy who has it, and it is like that in my community, they always tag any ladies with multiple piercings a prostitute which I have tried to educate them that piercing is a choice, everyone has the right to their body but because of their mentality and the way they were raised religiously makes them see others as sinners.
I love piercing but it should be moderate, piercing is never a crime to me, it makes people look attractive but visible and multiple ones will always despise me.

Really abusing anything can have an unpleasant effect on others. Being too thin, wearing too much make-up or too many items of clothing at the same time may cause others to reject the wearer.
In the case of piercings, especially if they are in sight, the same thing can happen, although for example, those worn along the ear, may look somewhat decorative.
The important thing is to maintain respect and tolerance with respect to the decisions of others, without affecting our emotional state at the time of judging, although this is difficult for most.
Thank you for participating in our initiative and welcome to the community.
You are right, everything should be in moderation not abusing it. An adage says the way you dress is the way you will be addressed. Thank you for reading my post.
I also thank my mother for piercing me as a baby, I needed it I looked like a baron boy 😁 but then in adolescence I pierced again as a prank, I have not done it again but I want more, without falling into excess because exaggeration is ugly.
Thanks for sharing your point of view, when you can also support and comment other authors, we value the interaction in tattoo world. @eunice9200 😉
Thank you for stopping by, I would engage more on people's post in the community
Seems like we shared the same view on how body piercings can affect one's career.
Yes, you are right, excessive body piercings can actually limit one's job opportunities.
Nice entry cutie😊.
I wonder how people would sit and endure the pain of piercing all parts of their body. I watched a video of a lady who wanted to pierce her nose, I was laughing at her with the whole drama she was acting. Seriously, I wouldn't feel for any friend who decides to pierce any part of the body especially the tongue and aside the normal ears which is understandable. Shebi they want beauty, they should bear the pain.

To me I think piercing should be in moderation, but anyone that choose to go overboard with it, it is their choice and their body, they should do what they please as long as it does not affect anyone else.

I have three piercing. I actually stopped at three because my ear is prone to keloid with each piercing make I no go disfigure my ear.
I actually wanted to pierce my brow and lower lip one time lol I couldn't stand the pain.
I do not like nose piercing and best believe I have been stereotype alot with my ear piercings.
Right now as an adult I don't even have the zeal to ALWAYS decorate them with jewelries. I am even very careless with my jewellery as I am always buying and loosing. So my piercings are just there 🙂.

Always a #dreemerforlife
Na so e dey be my dear 🤣😂🤣. Adulthood just dey somehow 🤣😂
My ears are pierced and I have a naval piercing! I love all three of them. My personal choice though, is never to get a tongue, nose, or eyebrow piercing... or any other less visible ones! My eldest son got his ear pierced a couple of years ago when he was 11. He struggled with infections though so he stopped wearing the earring and the hole closed up. I think he may want to get it re-pierced one day... we'll see how that goes !LOLZ
