Body Piercing is a popular cultural and individualistic mode of expression that can be dated back to the Egyptians, who saw body piercings as a mark of royalty. Commonly referred to as "piercing," this practice involves puncturing or cutting a part of the flesh, creating an opening in which jewelry can be worn. Body Piercing goes as far back as 3300 BC, as evidenced by the discovery of an ear piercing on the oldest mummified body, Otzi the Iceman.
