CELEBRITY EAR & NOSE PIERCINGS

Dear readers of sport&beauty. In a previous post we started talking about celebrity piercings. We learnt that most celebrities choose the belly button or the nose to sport a piercing. Today we are going to dedicate this post to the rest of the body parts also suitable for a piercing. We’ll start with the ear. The was perhaps the first one the humans tried to do due to the fact that this part of the body is quite easy to pierce. The world’s oldest mummified body (more than 5000 years old), discovered in an Austrian glacier in 1991, had its ears pierced with holes of a diameter from 7 to 11 millimeters. Originally ears were pierced for magical purposes as many
primitive tribes believed that demons entered the human body through them but they could be repelled by wearing metal ear piercings. Sailors used to pierce their ear to improve their sight and if in the event of a shipwreck their bodies were washed ashore it was a sign to give them a Christian burial. As you can see in the following pictures many celebrities such as Hilary Duff, Kate Moss, Miley Cyrus, Alyssa Milano, and Lindsay Lohan show off their ear piercing proudly.
