Body modification is popular nowadays. Ear piercing is the commonest type of body modifications all over the world. When traced back, ear piercing has the history for over 5000 years. This had been confirmed by the mummified body in Austrian Glacier area.
In the past, wearing earrings had been considers as the status of wealth and richness. For quite a long time, people had to pierce their ear to wear earrings. Until the clip-on type earrings produced, people can wear earrings without ear pierce. Nowadays, earrings are available in two basic types, pierced and non-pierced, and from there they branch out into a wide variety of shapes and styles.
Of pierced earrings, popular styles include simple stud earrings, hoop earrings, dangle earrings and the slave earrings. Many pierced earrings attach to the ear with a wire running through the earlobe rather than a post. Non-piercing earrings include the clip-on type earrings, ear cuff, magnetic earrings, stick-on earrings and spring hoop earrings. The clip-on type earring is the most popular among other non-piercing earrings.
To me, piercing earrings are still more attractive for several reasons. First of all, there is more trendy and fashionable design. Also, it’s more secure to wear the piercing earring as the spring of the clip-on is easily loosened. The spring attachment or screw in post would make the earlobe aching for prolonged wearing.
The most important drawback for piercing earring is the risk of infection or having abnormal scaring for ear piercing.
