Show 16 Till miLY HI RAUl. Prove. Liah, Sunday. January 24. 1999 The fact that body piercing is centuries old is only slightly comforting am sitting next to an I POSTSCRIPTS attraitive young woman. She is probably in her early lids and her looks qualify her ior beauty queen status. There is time before our nut-tinstarts, so I introduce a conversation and myself pital, I just can't understand the beauty of pierced jewelry in tender places. I am stumped each time I see an eyebrow ring or a pierced belly button. My friend has a more reasonable attitude and wishes the conse- clones. S!ie is an intelligent young girl and I enjoy the conversa-tion- . but 1 am continually distracted by a silver nob in the middle of her tongue. I just a n't stop thinking about how much it must have hurt to have her tongue pierced. From someone who avoids pain at all cost, who'd rather get the flu than the shot, whose body aches when 1 enter a hos- - long-ter- quences were more evident. She wonders about her cousin's pierced navel and the consequences of getting pregnant. . AFTER MY encounter with the young woman, I find the most wonderful adventure book, published in 1942, entitled '"1 leadhunting in the Solomon Islands." It is about two women with very little money and experience who depart by steamship from San Francisco on a journey to a distant rim of the world Their goal is to search out and paint a dying race of individuals, the headhunters or cannibals of the Solomon Islands. They never come face to face with a real cannibal, but in their exciting adventures they encounter a variety of other interesting things such as malaria, strange foods and the primitive art of body piercing. I learn that body piercing is not a new phenomenon but a centuries old art practiced by some of the most primitive and ferocious people who ever lived. Referring to the island men she encountered, author Carolyn Mytinger writes, "All of them had a single hole of varying size in the lobe of the ear, and there was a hole through the septum of the nose to receive a nose bone. A certain bushboy had numerous perforations in his ears and nose which must have been very painful to come by. "THOSE OF the ears ran up the rims and held little plugs of white coral, and the ones in the nose ran across the tip from one nostril to the other and were filled with pegs of wood which looked like allspice." In a footnote the author continues, "Holes are pierced County Board of Health concerning body piercing. One regulation in particular "prohibits any tattoo or permanent cosmetic being applied to any person under 18 years of age, regardless of parental consent, except when authorized or prescribed by a physician." Sanitary facilities and sterile tools are the object of other reg- in the flesh with a shell and then stuffed with grass to keep them from healing together, the incisions usually being made when the subject is a child, and the number and location being determined by the traditional custom of the village." I am slightly comforted that body piercing is a centuries old sharp-pointe- d ulations. A disclaimer is included the regulations do not imply either approval or endorsement of such practices. The Health Department is to be commended because it is their job to think about consequences. practice. Stainless steel may have replaced coral and grass, but I am still uneasy that we have come so far only to revert back to such primitive practices.
