| Nostril piercing was first thought to originate in the Middle-East
almost 4000 years ago. From there it spread into India in the 16th century,
where it was quickly adopted into the noble castes.
The kind of jewellery worn could distinguish the wearer by caste and social standing, much like a title, or even an identity card! The piercing was introduced into the west by the ‘Hippy’ culture, that travelled to India in the 60’s and 70’s. It was shortly adopted by the ‘Punks’ and other youth culture of the 80’s and 90’s, until it’s popular use in the new millennium. We would like to thank all-body-piercing.com for this information. |
