Bodymodification is a common practice in today’s world. In particular
the young generation is very keen on ensuring that they look very
attractive and outstanding among others. The most notable are the
artistes who go to great lengths to ensure they have a unique
identity. The competition for fame and business competition has made
it even more and more popular for this group. There are many reasons
why one may go for body modification, one of these is just the desire
to look beautiful, and there is also the desire to identify with a
certain group whereby the group has an identifying body modification
process. There is also the desire to create a personal identity.
There are also other types of modification that are done as rites of
passage, for religious reasons or to express one self.
There
are many forms of body modification. It may be as simple as the use
of explicit ornament which may include the ear piercing procedures,
the adornment of normal jewelry and so on. There are also surgical
procedures meant to alter the body for no-medical purposes. In this
we have breast implants, silicon injection and the subdermal
implants. There are also procedures that involve the removal of or
split of various body parts which may include circumcision and also
cutting of the hair. The list of the ways and means of modifying
one’s natural looks is so long and new inventions are coming up
daily.
Beauty
is one thing that everyone strives to achieve. Every single person
can appreciate beautiful things and also like beautiful things and
people too. That is why we tend to look for methods to make ourselves
look good. In this case, body plugs have lately been widely used.
They are gadgets that are put or worn in our bodies for beauty. They
can be worn by an individual who has either pierced that particular
part of the body or use the fake types of gauges that are held in
place using a magnet even to someone who has not pierced. They are
also ways of body modification since piercing your body is a
permanent thing. They can be worn at various parts of the body.
After
being pierced, a small, cylindrical gadget is placed in the
piercing. It is not like an earring. It’s thicker than an earring
though they come in various sizes. They are also divided into classes
of what they are made of.
a)
There are those types of body plugs that are made of gold or silver.
Normally they are expensive although the price they are sold at is
quite worth considering the materials they are made of not forgetting
the sophistication. Not everyone is able to afford it although they
are very beautiful.
b)
Others are made of metals and plastics. Those made of metals are
usually made of titanium or stainless steel. They are quite
affordable and they are mostly used since they are pocket friendly
and also very beautiful. The plastic ones are also beautiful and can
be made into very many designs depending on the choice of the
individual. The best part it they are quite affordable.
c)
The last group is made of organic materials such as bones, animal
horns shoes, shells, wood and bamboo. They are affordable, natural
and unique.
It
is important to know that each type of body plug you purchase can be,
used in different occasions. The gold and silver ones can be used
when going for occasions. The ones made of metals are good to use
when the wound has not completely healed since they are non porous.
The organic ones can be used when the wound has completely healed
because using them with a fresh wound is not hygienic. They are able
to attract bacteria that could badly affect you. Always disinfect
your body plug before using them and remember that it is not hygienic
to share ornaments with anyone.
