Ear piercing has become a dominant cultural trend in body adornment through jewellery, at least among women. It plays the role of a universal ornament breaking gender barriers and signifying femininity and masculinity, and it is an important part of the appearance of members of many social groups.
Piercing done on the nostril wing, either at its crease (traditional nostril) or slightly higher (high nostril). It's the second most popular location for adornment after ear piercings. The healing period typically lasts up to 3-4 months. The most commonly worn jewellery includes rings, studs, or labrets.
The procedure performed on the tissue separating the nostril openings. It's a custom strongly associated with tribal culture across different continents, where ornaments made mainly from animal bones were worn. The piercing can be either prominently displayed, drawing attention, or discreetly placed, remaining unnoticed. The healing period lasts up to 4-8 weeks, and commonly worn jewellery includes rings, horseshoes, or barbells.
An increasingly popular procedure requiring healing for 4-8 weeks. After placing the tongue piercing, one must adhere to a proper diet and hygiene in the following days to ensure uncomplicated healing. A piercing made from the appropriate material does not cause gum, tooth, or periodontal diseases. Alternatively to the central position of the piercing, one can opt for Viper Piercing, Tongue Tip Piercing, Venoms, or Snake.
The traditional eyebrow piercing is located at the outer edge or middle part of the eyebrow. It can be placed to encompass the entire brow arch or just below it. Popularized by punk culture, it later captured the hearts of many piercing enthusiasts not associated with this music genre. Today, it's a very popular piercing location. The healing period lasts up to 6-8 weeks. The most commonly worn jewellery in this area are rings and curved barbells.
The procedure attaches the ornament at the base of the nose, precisely between the eyes. The healing period lasts up to 4-6 months. The key moment of the procedure is selecting the appropriate depth at which the ornament will be placed. Too little tissue separating the piercing from the bone can lead to infection and very serious complications.
One of the most popular piercings, primarily done (though not exclusively) by women. The wide range of available jewellery options is a field for the owner's creativity.

The entire definition of this piercing involves skillfully inserting jewellery under the skin with visible balls or other ends. This type of piercing can be done in most areas of the body, but it heals at different rates in different places. It should be noted that surface piercings tend to migrate and rejection by the body in the chosen location can occur.
This relatively new technique, rapidly gaining popularity, involves placing jewellery under the skin. It can be done similarly to surface piercing in any part of the body. The healing process of this piercing is much faster compared to surface piercing, and the piercing itself is less invasive because the tissue is not pierced over such a long distance.
One of the few piercings where the healing time differs between women (6-9 months) and men (3-4 months). The jewellery worn by women and men differs in size, and the piercing serves different functions for each gender. The piercing can be placed vertically, horizontally, or in both directions at once. Barbells, captive bead rings, and circular barbells are commonly worn, depending on the anatomical structure of the nipple.
The thought of an intimate piercing can cause fear in many people, but in reality, intimate piercings are not among the most painful. There are several options available for piercings. Some options are more for decoration, while others may offer additional stimulation.
