NOSE PIERCING:: This Is What Professionals Do

The practice of nose piercing has become so probable that 19% of the women and 15% of men in the US have a pierced nose. Well, the antiphon of the given query depends totally upon which part of the world we are talking about.

For example, in countries like India, it is so common that even a kind of nose ring called NATHLI  is made especially for married women.

It is a culture in many parts of India that a married woman should have a pierced nose, but the practice is so common that most of the Indian girls have a pierced nose.

The tradition of nose piercing is not a modern one. It has strong roots in the past also. It is believed that originally, the practice of nose piercing started 44,000 BC back in Australia.

At that time, they used to sport the petite bones of inanimate animals, and then the gold and silver jewellery took the place of the bones of lifeless creatures. From there, the idea has been spread out in other parts of the world.

One more historic proof of nose piercing can be seen in the hoary artform of India where queens are shown sporting huge nose rings called NATHLIS as cited above. From there, it was pretended that the NATHLIS are souvenirs of the queens.

Hence, this became the primary reason to show the MAHABHARATA and RAMAYANA (holy books of Hindu religion) queens DRAUPADI and SITA wearing NATHLIS in the historic Indian dramas.

From there, it excited more crowds towards it.

People liked it and hence the trend of nose piercing became prominent.

Also, as I asserted above that in many parts of India, nose piercing is the cultural practice of showing that the girl is married.

But this practice not only has a cultural background with India only.

It does have a relation with the people of tribal communities of Australia who live in the islands of Tasmania, Fraser Island, Hinchinbrook Island, Tiwi Islands, and Groote Eylandt.

These people are often called Aboriginal Australians or Indigenous Australians.
