Anything goes
in wild world of
body piercing
By BONNIE BILLS
Daily Nmu
U. of California, Santa Barbara
Women and men with pierced ears
hardly receive a second glance these
days, but some students are getting
pierced in places that don’t normally
see the light of day.
In body piercing, anything goes,
Bejeweled lips, pierced bellybuttons
and ringed nipples are popping up
everywhere.
Sarah Seinberg. a U . of California,
Santa Barbara senior, said she has
decided to put a purple ring with a
silver bead in her navel.
She said the thought of the pain
doesn't bother her too much.
"The pain is temporary," she said.
"1 have three tattoos, so I don't think it
will hurt much more than those."
Aaron Mastro nor* ooay piercing ai
his clothing stole in Santa Barbara. He
has quite a few pierced body pans
himself, including his ears, septum,
navel and "below the waist."
Mastro, who pierce* an average of
five people a week, has pierced ni|>ples,
noses, navels and genitals. The most
popular regions, he said, are can and
nottrib because of their hi^i visibility.
Mastro said he body pier cing when
he saw that people were unsafe doing it
themselves with safety pins, He does all
of his work with sterile needles
designed for piercing.
With proper care, body piercings will
heal without becoming infected, he
said, adding that the healing process
usually takes about two months for
most body parts.
UCSB anthropology Professor
Donald Brown said that body piercing
dates back to prehistoric times.
In some cultures, body piercing is
considered magical and is believed hi
give you strength and courage, but he
doesn't know if the trend will stick.
“The time will come wiien it won’t be
cool to be pierced anymore.' he said.
He said the current trend of body
piercing is a fad partially perpetuated
by subcultures.
jo/ef Meunkh, a sophomore at the
U. of Minnesota, has both of his ears
and nippies pierced.
“Getting your nippies pierced is an
important pan of gay culture," he said.
"Of course, not all |*y people have
pierced nipples, but it’s an incredibly
erotic thing for gay culture."
Seinberg said she doesn't know how
long she'll keep her navel ring.
‘Til probably keepil for awhile,”
die said. ”1 don't know about forever."
