Earlier it was the natural materials like shell, wood, besides bones and claws that were popular for using as body piercing jewelry items. Then metals like iron, gold and such others were also used. Gold is an expensive metal and even in earlier days it was not used by everybody. The next difference that can be seen today is in the locations of body piercings. Previously, men and women were wearing huge circular plates or rings in order to elongate their lips or even earlobes. Also, wearing a number of steel rings on the neck is custom even today for some African and south-Asian tribes.

These days, a number of metals are being used in body piercing jewelry. These include gold, silver, titanium, as well as platinum, acrylic, besides steel and also other anodized metals. Anodized refers to coating a metal with the layers of some different metal in order to give a shine to the original thing without making it too expensive. An example here will be the gold anodized body piercing jewelry.

The locations of piercing the body are being widely experimented today. There are some really unorthodox places where piercing is being done nowadays. The common piercings are those where you can wear body piercing jewelry like belly button rings, tongue rings or even labret jewelry. One piercing that is capturing a lot of looks when you flaunt it includes the corset piercing. Here the back is pierced in several calculated places and then steel rings are inserted in these piercings. Ribbons or strings are used in order to connect these piercings and to tie a bow at the end of it.

The other unconventional piercings where body piercing jewelry is worn include nipple piercing, jaw piercing, besides genital piercing and such others. The piercing that was done earlier in order to elongate ear lobes in tribes is now the piercing in order to wear ear plugs. Thus the size of the body piercing  jewelry to be worn has decreased. Today you can get these body piercing jewelry items in many materials as well as designs.

Earlier piercing your body only meant the ear lobes, or it may at the most include the nose piercing. But times have changed leading to an increase in the use of body piercing jewelry on the different parts of the body. Now there is much more than the ear rings section, as it has included various unconventional piercings too.
