Body piercing is an age-old art form that has been used in generations in cultures all around the world. Many individuals today who seek to pierce different parts of their body may choose to do so to make a unique statement of their own.

The first sign of body piercing was the different types of nose rings that were recorded approximately 4,000 years ago in the Middle East. In fact, there is even mention of nose piercing in the Bible.

Nomadic tribes in Africa and the Middle East still practice nose piercing, and often the size and quality of the ring denote the wealth and social status of the wearer. Nose piercing is also common in India, where the left nostril is pierced to prevent medical issues and ease childbirth.

Another piecing popular with ancient cultures and civilizations is the septum piercing. Commonly associated with the “bull ring,” a septum piercing penetrates the space directly between the nostrils. Most ancient tribes pierced their septum in order to promote a fierce or war-like face on their warriors.

Individuals in India, Tibet, and Nepal wear a septum piercing, as do many North American Indian tribes, including the Nez Perce. Australian aboriginals also wear a piercing through the septum and have so for thousands of years.

Play time is all about imagination and most children certainly do not lack in that department. It is amazing how a simple toy can quickly become a favorite and best friend to a child, complete with names, identities and stories. Yes, children love a toy for reasons other than how much it cost.

The point is to not stress about Christmas presents for the kids. To a child, if it is a wrapped and under the Christmas tree, Santa came.
