Best Answer

The histories surrounding body piercing and tattooing vary greatly, some cultures did these things for religious reasons and others for the image it would reflect to other tribes.

A piece of stead-like ornament worn by women in their nose, commonly known as nose-ring and nose stead. (known as Mukkuthi or Mookuthi in Tamil and Nath in Hindi) The custom to wear this ornamental jewel is typically different from one state to other, one caste to other and even different amongst communities. One custom observed by some sects is that it be used as a tool to help young women in their rite of passage into adulthood. By having a nose piercing it reminds young woman that they are no longer children and must be responsible for their individual actions as an adult. This practice usually begins at the time that young girls begin their menstrual cycle. It also identifies them to other members of their community of their status, that they must be treated with the respect of an adult and therefore must act accordingly. It has been significantly helpful in developing the maturity of young woman as they struggle between childhood and adulthood.

AnswerTexas law prohibits anyone under the age of 18 from getting a tattoo or body peircing without the consent of parent(s) or legal guardian. TX. Health and Safety Code, &Ann. 146.0125.

What does lip piercing represent?

Lip piercings represent nothing. In a traditional sense (in which all westerners have lost) the labret showed status in a tribe and each tribe had different methods and meanings for it. As of this day in age, there are no implications by any body piercing or tattoo, it means only what the wearer wants it to mean.
