| Piercing of the human body has a long and varied history dating back to prehistoric times. Modern society has discovered the benefits that body piercing can bring. For many it is purely a fashion or aesthetic appeal, for others a sign of status or group affiliation in society and for some a means of heightening sexual pleasure. It also has an erotic appeal and shock value when flaunted.
It appears that body piercing transcends all ages, professions and cultures. |

Piercing Positions
|
| Ear |
| Around the world, the most common area pierced is the earlobe. Other parts of the ear, which have cartilage, can also be pierced; therefore almost any part of the ear can be pierced including the tragus. |
| |
| Tragus |
| This piercing is done through the prominence in front of the external opening of the ear. A delicate and flattering location |
| |
| Nose |
| This piercing has become a very popular placement and technique is crucial, as is proper jewellery. |
| |
| Septum |
| This piercing is done through the thin web of skin beneath the central nasal cartilage. Jewellery choices range from the invisible septum retainer to a very visible set of septum spikes or tusks. |
| |
| Eyebrow |
| This piercing is normally placed so that the jewellery appears to wrap around the eyebrow, or as a spike placed diagonally behind the eyebrow. |
| |
| Labret |
| A very flattering piercing centred below the lower lip. |
| |
| Lip |
This piercing can be placed anywhere along the length of both top and bottom lip.
|
| |
| Tongue |
| This piercing can be done at various spots along the centre of the tongue. It heals very quickly and is one of the least painful piercings. A straight barbell or a stud with a flat disk back must be worn during healing. |
| |
| Nipples |
| The second most common body part to be pierced are the nipples. Nipples are usually pierced horizontally, but can be pierced vertically or even diagonally. Today, the lure of piercing nipples is primarily a sexual one. |
| |
| Navel |
| This piercing is fashionable with both males and females and can be placed anywhere around the navel. Navel piercing was a sign of royalty amongst ancient Egyptians. Hence a deep navel was highly prized. While not a sexually functional piercing, the visual effect is sexual and diverts the viewer’s attention to the pelvic area. |
| |
| Inner Labia |
| This piercing is the most popular of the female genital piercings, because they are thin, relatively easy to pierce and heal more quickly than any other body piercing |
| |
| Outer Labia |
| This piercing can be placed anywhere along the length of both outer labia. |
| |
| Clitoris Hood (Prepuce) |
| In this highly erotic piercing, the hood can be pierced either vertically or horizontally and either a circular ring or barbell can be worn. This piercing tends to be sexually stimulating. |
| |
| Clitoris |
| This piercing is rapidly growing in popularity because of the increased sensations it offers. The piercing can be vertical or horizontal, through the centre of the clitoris at its base. |
| |
| Foreskin |
| This piercing is primarily done for erotic reasons, and can be placed anywhere around the foreskin, offering the widest range of piercings. It is an eye-catching place to display jewellery. |
| |
| Ampallong |
| The Ampallong, relatively unknown to the western world, is indigenous to the areas surrounding the Indian Ocean. It is inserted through the head of the penis above the urethra. |
| |
| Apadraya |
| As described in the Karma Sutra, the classic Hindu Treatise on love and social conduct, the Apadraya is one of a number of devices mentioned. The piercing is a vertical version of the Ampallong. |
| |
| Prince Albert |
| This piercing is done through the urethra, below the base of the penis head, or through the urethra and above the head (reverse Prince Albert). Legend has it, that Prince Albert wore such a piercing to retract his foreskin and thus keep his penis sweet-smelling, so not to offend the Queen. Today it is the most common erotic male piercing, providing the ultimate pleasure to men. |
| |
| Fraenum
|
| Piercing of the Fraenum, the loose skin beneath the head of the penis, is of European origin, sexually stimulating and is the second most popular penis piercing. A ring or a barbell can be worn, but is pleasurable when the foreskin is rolled over the ball ends of a barbell. |
| |
| Guiche |
| This piercing is done through the ridge of skin between the scrotum and the anus, at what would be the inseam. Even today the Guiche is common among native males of the South Pacific and Westerners can benefit from its adoption as it is one of the more erotic piercings. Light pressure applied to the piercing greatly increases arousal and gently tugging at climax prolongs and intensifies orgasm. Placement is of the utmost importance. |
| |
| Hafada (Scrotum Piercing) |
| Can be placed in numerous positions, high or low, front or back. |
| |
| Dyode |
| This piercing is of Jewish origin and is usually done in pairs, one on each side on the base of the penis head. |
