The Popularity of Piercings

Each day people are getting piercings and each day they are getting them in the oddest of places. The most common of places is of course the ears. However now girls and guys are getting piercings in their nose, eyebrow, belly button, neck, lip, tongue etc. There's no limit to where you can have a piercing. To some people it is disgusting, and to some it is a fashion statement. I have only my ears and belly button pierced, but I have friends who have probably 12-15 piercings total on their bodies. It's becoming a popular fad like tattoos. Below are two examples of unique piercings. 

  This is called a nape piercing located on the neck.
 







This is a monroe piercing located by the mouth








These are some interesting places for piercings, but they can sure get worse! But remember to some people piercings are a way of expressing someone's individuality. So this may be a beautiful sight to some. I'm not saying go out and get a unique piercing. I'm saying do whatever suits you.
