If you guess a strange new trend, stop please they read not. I know that I and many other similar statements have heard, "Why you do something so weird" "what the point is you do to look". Now, for this point I will ignore the obvious answers and bust out historical insights for you on the trendsetters, who started this whole idea of stretching piercings in the body.

It is known that piercing in General be started thousands of years ago; Remains with earring were tires go back over 1500 years before the birth of Christ found. It was also popular not long stretch. Already in the time of the Egyptian pharaohs, people were their ears and of septum measure known. So what we been so far? For arguments, weirdo may extend already getting around. Here is the relevant information.

Starting with the Egyptians: not only has the Pharaohs have often stretched cloth, they were the only entitled. A sign of their nobility and the weight of their ornamentation was to enable such strain, with the wealth and status. This was a trend across the region; Process a sign that a person was good or a high standing member of the society was the pain and the cost of operation.

Now the counter point here is that it is strange or odd. While the Egyptian pharaohs fill your ears with large hard drives were used, the Mayans on the other side of the world of cloth stretched ears and nose bones as a symbol of both their religion and abilities in combat. The larger of the bones (and I my actual bones), the more the Warrior or more quality experienced his skills. In South Africa it was the lower lip, which often pierced and stretched call status in the tribe or in women's case, the number of children they had, and helped to increase along with the cloth to those.

Also in the tribes of Papua carved new Guinnea which never made contact with the modern world, until the 1980s, the chiefs first with modern people contact clear the most laps, the most piercings and the biggest piece of had bones had performed by his septum. These people have traditions below as follows since passed before history itself, and are managed as part of their society and structural class.

Piercing and stretching are not a fad or a fashion style modern designed and ready to fade away, it's a human habit that no matter where in the world or in the history you are heard of the company. After at least 3 thousand years, were the only real changes in the materials, the we (how to use bio-plastic and acrylic which are only recently, things to come) and in technological advancements such as dermal anchors and the ability to craft more complex piercings.

Who knows, maybe one day a Government or of Congressional leaders, meeting room wearing their plug with pride on the floor we see.
