First, we have Ear piercing-- is by far the most common piercing seen. Women have had their earlobes pierced for years, and men have begun to do the same within the last 40 years. The earlobe piercing can be said as the most acceptable piercing in society. Most employers allow at least one small earring in each lobe, barring safety reasons. This can be for simple decoration, or to show solidarity and a member of a social institution. Military personnel, particularly naval officers would pierce their left earlobe as a symbol for strong-founded camaraderie.

We have Nose Piercing-- it is traditionally pierced in two areas, the first being on the side of one nostril. In general, smaller studs are placed in this spot. The second is a cartilage piercing through the septum, or the center portion of the nose. This piercing has been affectionately dubbed, "the responsible facial piercing", because if a small U-shaped bar is pierced there, the piercing can be easily be turned back into the nostrils.

Another is, we have Tongue Piercings and these run vertically from the upper to the lower surface area of the tongue. This piercing is said to give an intense pleasure during oral sex, but most people have this piercing for aesthetic reason. With proper jewelry, this piercing will heal very quickly, but special consideration should be realized when utilizing metal jewelry because metal can cause damage to the gums and tooth enamel.

Then we have Nipple Piercing and it is done equally by men and women. This is a piercing that is considered very attractive. However, many also make this piercing because it increases the sensitivity of the nipple, making sensation more pleasurable. Because individual nipple sizes vary, this piercing is more difficult for some persons than others.

In ancient Egypt, this particular piercing was intended solely for the pharaoh. In today's society however, this is a usual piercing. This piercing is commonly sported by those that want to show off their mid-drift. This is commonly used by women.

And then we have Genital Piercing-- it is popular in both men and women. Those piercing directly on or near the genitals amplify sensation to make stimulation more pleasurable most especially during love making.
