In the past, piercings have been viewed as eccentric and even a little taboo, a definite staple of the subculture. And while they’re still not mainstream, they are currently on the rise again and popping up in interesting and unusual places. Ear lobe piercings are old news. These days people are finding all new nooks and crannies to decorate and accessorize.
Getting “daith,” “rook” and “tragus” piercings is a great way to step outside of the box. All of these can be described as interior piercings, since they are found on the inner parts of the ear. They are all cartilage piercings, which means the actual piercing may be a little more painful and the healing process may take longer.
Nose piercings are also a great way to add a little more to your look. You can get one nostril, two nostrils, your septum, or even your nose bridge pierced. Your septum is the piece of flesh that separates your nostrils. An experienced professional will not pierce the cartilage, which means this piercing is not as painful as it looks or as damaging.
Nose bridges fall into another cool category of corporal decoration or surface piercings. A surface piercing is one that doesn’t go through any specific body part such as an ear or nose. They are piercings in the skin where it lays flat against the body. Surface piercings also include Monroe’s, the back of the neck, chest and arms. Since surface piercings have a high rejection rate, make sure you first seek a certified and experienced professional. You want to seek quality when doing anything that could affect your health.
Don’t be afraid to try something new! Keep breaking fashion barriers.
