Hi! My name is Rick Wyckoff. You can check out our website at avatartat2.com. I’m here
on behalf of expertvillage.com, talking about history of piercing. Well piercing goes back
as far as human memory. Every culture on the planet has had some sort of piercing tradition
or another. In modern times, piercing in America has definitely gained interest, or people
have take interest in it. Aboriginal cultures that still exist all over the planet have
piercing traditions that date back thousands of years. Some of the different types of jewelry
that were used on just about every continent are made out of stone. This particular agate
plug was probably worn in somebody’s ear. In comes from Indonesia or pardon me this
one comes from Cambodia. This was found near the lost city Angkor Wat. This is also your
jewelry made out of water buffalo horn, these are from Indonesia as a sort of a traditional
almost the style of design work has become associated with Borneo in particular. This
is also worn in the ear. This part right here is fed through the opening of the ear and
it hangs like this in you ear lobe. In ancient times before they possessed piercing needles,
they probably did the initial piercing with something like this. Perhaps a crocodile tooth
or a horse tusk.
