Body piercing

Body piercing means putting jewelry through your skin, like a earring in your earlobe or a nose ring in your nose. After the jewelry is placed in your skin, you'll have a hole in your body which is called a piercing. People pierce different parts of their body, like their ears, belly, eyebrows, and even tongues. It's important to remember that body piercings can be dangerous if not done properly, so it's always best to have it done by a professional.
