Body piercing have been a away to express oneself or identify oneself for thousands of years.

In Native American tribes, tongue piercing and other body jewelry were considered a way to bring people nearer to their gods through bleeding. Rather than the modern day steel jewelry, they used bones, tusks and feathers as body jewelry.

Today, the tongue ring, as well as other body piercing is primarily for decorative reasons. Tongue piercing is often done with a longer barbell to allow for swelling during healing. After the tongue is fully healed, many wearers switch to a smaller ring for everyday wear.
