Body piercing, a form of body modification, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewellery may be worn. Piercing is very much adopted by the youth and is considered to be trendy. It has made its way to different kinds of piercings namely ear piercing, nose piercing, tongue and lip piercing and women often get their naval and genital pierced. The reasons for piercing or not piercing are varied. Some people pierce for religious or spiritual reasons, while others pierce for self-expression, for aesthetic value, for sexual pleasure, to conform to their culture or to rebel against it. Some forms of piercing remain controversial, particularly when applied to youth.
The jewellery worn on piercing has become the fashion statement and the designs used is of equal importance. Body piercing jewellery can be made with any material. It may be silver, gold, platinum or any cheap metal. The ornaments are set with colour beads, diamonds, coloured gemstones or semi-precious stones. But it is advised that all the material should be sterilized because it is worn through the skin
