As early as Biblical times, there are types of piercings that are thought to have existed. In spite of the fact that the cultural significance behind piercings has changed dramatically from what it was in the past, there is something quite intriguing about someone who has a piercing that isn’t immediately apparent.

Historically, tongue piercings were a part of ancient Aztec culture, performed in a ritual where the blood drawn during the procedure appeased the gods and altered consciousness, allowing direct contact with the gods.

It is a common misconception that nipple rings are ancient fastening clips that were used on the exterior of Roman armor attachments. However, anyone with a nipple piercing knows how unpractical and painful it would be to attach armor to a nipple ring. As for nipple piercing, it really originated in the 14th century as a fashion statement applied to plunging necklines such that women were displaying large parts of their chest unclothed and displayed gold and gems in their piercings.

Even with all of the benefits of being a celebrity, there are some disadvantages. In order to maintain their physical appearance, famous people undergo diets and exercise routines, and apply hours of makeup. There’s no surprise to see celebrities sporting at least one piercing as their “dirty little secret” that they enjoy revealing from time to time. The use of discreet, lesser-known piercings can enable them to celebrate their individuality and reclaim their bodies, which can sometimes feel like a public property. It’s time to get in the ring and find out who pierced what that you probably weren’t aware of.
