Popular Types of Body Piercing For Females

Body piercings have been a hit the past couple of years. With the trend not showing any signs of slowing down, you might be toying with the idea of getting a new piercing or two. Maybe even three.

With all the options available, you are indeed spoilt for choice. One thing, though: which piercing should you get next?

Here is a list of popular types of body piercings for females. Take your pick!

Ear Piercing

An earlobe piercing is probably the most popular spot for a piercing, but there are numerous other places to have a piercing.

This aside, you can pierce your ear lobes top to bottom and use different jewelry pieces to adorn the piercing.

Some other ear piercings you can get include the conch piercing, auricle piercing, daith piercing, helix piercing, rooks piercing, and so on.

Tongue Piercing

Tongue piercings can be done to enhance intimacy or as a fashion statement.

Again, there are numerous types of tongue piercings. The different names relate to the positioning of a piercing on the tongue.

The more common ones include:

• Vertical piercing at the middle of the tongue
• Piercing through the uvula
• Horizontal tongue piercing that includes the snake eye or the venom piercing
  

These have to be carefully thought out so as not to interfere with oral or dental function.

Eyebrow Piercing

The punk subculture introduced the eyebrow piercing in the ’70s as a fashion statement. Over the decades, this piercing has been in and out of fashion, making a comeback every time it was thought to be done for good.

This can be placed anywhere on the brow line from directly above the eye to the far end of the eyebrow near the temple.

This must be done by a professional because of the sensitive nature of the eye. Too close to the eye, and you risk injuring the supra-orbital nerves.

Lip Piercings

Lip piercings allow women to accentuate their lips with more than lipstick and gloss: you can now have lip jewelry.

The most common ones are the piercing on the upper or lower lip (smiley or frowny piercing). These can be at the corner of either lip. The one on the left lip is commonly known as the Monroe piercing, and the one on the right is the Madonna.

The vertical medusa piercing is located at the center of the upper lip, right beneath the centum. It can also be a labret piercing, which is a lip piercing placed right above the chin.

Nipple Piercing

Nipple piercings are loved for several reasons. The first is that they make the nipples stick out more and become more noticeable in a bikini or a t-shirt.

The second is that they heighten sexual pleasure. And the third is that they look great when adorned with some pretty jewelry.
