Body piercing is the newest widespread form of expressive art in todays society. Several different age groups from young carefree kids to grown business executives are turning to body piercing as a way to express themselves, or to rebel against the establishment Body piercing gained its popularity during the 1970's when the baby boomer generation chose it as a refusal to enter into adulthood, and today, it has become a mainstream activity.

The most popular part of the body to pierce is the tongue, according to Muddy Russell. She says that the biggest fear clients have is that it will hurt, but most of them are surprised at how painless the procedure actually is.
