  You are joking, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the first people to use any form of body piercing did to look tough to impress women.

    Absolutely had to be a factor. Pain and the evidence of it is a right of passage into adulthood, it shows strength, discipline, perseverance. This would absolutely be attractive to many ancient cultures. I’m sure the reasons were different depending on the society though.

    But at least one of them had to have been to impress the local chicks who thought piercings were sexy.

      Ironically, these are scene as masculine trait, making actually weird that it is (used to be ?) a woman’s thing in modern western culture. Looks like one of the many gender norm anomaly

        Just like high heels for men riding horses in western Europe were a masculine trait when they were invented and still are today. And don’t forget the knightly colours of red and pink. No woman would dare to feminise such manly things.

        Masculine trait in our culture. Not every culture has been a patriarchy and I’m sure many didnt care which gender was tough when survival was so difficult.

  Are you really into ancient girls, or are we just having different views of the term ancient ;-)

  And now another girl would get piercing done to impress then a guy would do a piercing to impress her, propagating over millenia until today and our cool earrings to impress our crush/SO
