Piercing Prohibitions and Taboos • Piercings have grown more widespread, and it is also controversial, particularly in youth. In 2004, a Henry County, Georgia student got suspended for sporting eyebrow, nose, labret, and tongue piercing in school.
World Records • There has only been 3 world records held for most piercings, that are currently known of. The three people that hold these records are Elaine Davidson, Luis Antonio Aguero, and Brent Moffat.
Body Piercing Risks • There are may risks when it comes to body piercings. Just three examples would be hepatitis, allergic reactions, (most specifically to nickel), and infection. So, if you’re looking to get a piercing, make sure it’s approved and professional, and you don’t have allergies.
