Description
Body piercing is the penetration of metal and jewelry into the skin, most commonly the eyebrows, ears, lips, tongue, nose, navel, nipples, and genitals.
Earlobe piercings are the most popular piercings across age groups and cultures, perhaps because;
- they are the most socially acceptable
- they are the simplest to perform
- they are the least expensive
- aftercare is easier
“Look behind a compulsion, at its motivation,
before it masquerades as free will”
– Peter Zapfella
Piercings have been used in various cultures as;
- symbols of status
- a mark of rites of passage into adulthood
- as a sign of membership of a group, and
- as a form of adornment for at least 5000 years.
Earrings are thought to have originated in Asia and the Middle East. They have certainly had a place in Indian culture since ancient times.
Gympie’s may have bought them to Europe from the Punjab region about one thousand years ago, as earrings were not seen as appropriate for proper women in Europe until after the Renaissance period.
The popularity of earrings increased in Europe during the 17th century when they were seen as fashionable and a sign of wealth.
It is said that in the days of sailing ships sailors wore an earring as a sign they had survived a ship-wreck. They certainly wore gold earrings as a way to pay for their own burial costs.
Earrings were seen as the consolation for pain and suffering. It was believed that the more decorative and expensive the earrings, the greater the consolation.
At some time in the distant past, perhaps male gypsies or perhaps sailors began to wear an earring in either ear to show their sexual preference to those who knew the code.
An earring in the left ear of a man indicated he was straight (exclusively heterosexual). The right ear indicated he was gay (exclusively homosexual), while both ears indicated he swung both ways (bisexual). This earring code hit its peak in popular western culture in the 1970’s and 80’s. Today that custom has more or less gone. I recently asked a gay friend aged in his mid 20’s why he had a new piecing in his left ear lobe. His answer “That’s where they put it.”
Body piecing can be done in any place where the skin can be punctured with a hole and fitted with a metal post, rod, hoop, or another piece of jewelry. Most piercings are created with an electric-powered “gun” which quickly punctures the skin while a piece of metal is simultaneously inserted into the hole.
Most who adorn their body with piecing’s say they do it to either;
- enhance their appearance.
- express their independence
- stand-out from the crowd
- shock people
- call attention to themselves
- fit in with a group of peers
- so their friends will accept them
Collectively these excuses suggest a compensatory behavior for low self-worth.
Of course, people get body piecing’s for many other reasons including:
- artistic expression
- rebellion from authority
- a visual display of a personal narrative
- reminders of cultural traditions
- sexual motivation
- identification with a group
- drunken or drugged impulsiveness
- and some people hide behind their body piecing’s under their clothes, which suggests shame and guilt.
Dopamine is the endorphin most often quoted by chemists as the major driver of addiction. Dopamine is also secreted into the neuron synapse as a result of pain. So it follows that people can become compulsive about feeling the pain too, particularly if it then results in improved self-esteem among their peer group.
Therefore compulsive piercings have their foundation in the same mental and body chemistry processes as drug addiction.
Those people who have body piercings are more likely to have engaged gateway drug use, hard drug use, sexual activity, risk-taking, and suicide.
Gateway drug use has been associated with those of a younger age who have body piercings. Hard drug use has been associated with those who have a number of body piercings (Carroll 2002).
There are links between body piecing’s and tattoos and psychiatric disorders such as depression (Heywood, 2012), eating disorders (Carroll, 2002), borderline personality disorder (Raspa, 1990), neuroticism (Pozgain, 2004) and increased risk of suicide (Carroll, 2002). Seven or more piercings, or intimate piercings, described higher risk behaviors and emotional distress (Owen 2013)

Infection is the greatest physical risk of piercings. Surveys have shown around 31 per cent of piecing’s result in complications. Source; Body Piecing in England, Statistic Brain, Northwesters University. March 2015
If piercings are not performed by adhering to strict hygienic procedures, serious infections can occur, including HIV, Hepatitis, and Tetanus. Even if the piercing is performed hygienically, infection’s still can occur. I speak from personal experience.
After a piercing is abandoned it often leaves a permanent scar or hole.
Tongue and lip piecings can cause dental problems, such as chipped teeth and gum problems.

So what does this all mean? Body piecing is fashionable up to a tipping point. Then it can become indicative of deeper emotional and psychological problems as it becomes compulsive.
Rather than getting more piecing as a temporary ‘high’, which will dissipate in time anyway and then leaving an ugly reminder, maybe those people should seek professional assistance to overcome the cause of their compulsion?
The synonyms for the word compulsive include; enthusiastic, passionate, irresistible, compelling, urgent, and overwhelming.
The synonyms for the word excessive include; disproportionate, exaggerated, excoriate, extravagant, extreme, inordinate, needless, redundant, superfluous, unconscionable, unreasonable, boundless, dissipated, dizzying, immoderate, indulgent, intemperate, limitless, more, overboard, overkill, plethoric, prodigal, profligate, self-indulgent, sky-high, stratospheric, superstar, too many, unbounded, unmeasurable and way out.
People who are more likely to develop a dependency include those who:
- suffer from depression,
- bipolar disorder,
- anxiety disorders, or
- schizophrenia, and
- Have easy access to the chemical or behavior.
- Experience low self-esteem.
- Have relationship problems.
- Live a stressful economic or emotional lifestyle.
- Associate with people, or live in a culture where there is a high social acceptance of the relevant abuse.

Now you can listen to Welcome Life Beyond Compulsive Body Piercing subliminals when ready to sleep and let these gentle and encouraging words guide your deep unconscious mind into the realms of dreams.
Because the deep unconscious has similar perceptions to a child it is often called ‘the child within’ in psychology. Therefore, just like a small child, a simple message repeated, will eventually become a new deep unconscious belief.
‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations are read once aloud so that your conscious mind can hear the affirmation and logically approve it before it slips down below normal conscious awareness below the level of the foreground environmental sounds or music. In this way, the conscious mind, which acts as a sort of filter or ‘gate-keeper‘ can not only approve of the affirmation content first, but it can occasionally be logically influenced by the message too.
If you listen carefully enough you may perceive the affirmations from time-to-time in the silent moments of the foreground sounds. Research has confirmed that so-called ‘silent’ affirmations that cannot be perceived are ineffective and useless (except as placebo’s) because they are ‘silent’.
Only ‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations feature these important properties. They have been designed, based upon research, so your conscious mind will logically accept the affirmations and ‘unlock the gateway’ to your deep unconscious. Which is the domain of emotions, beliefs, and behaviors.
When ‘Welcome’ subliminal affirmations are used to ‘lock-in’ the deep unconscious shift achieved following one-on-one therapy with Peter Zapfella the results can be nothing less than miraculous.
Change your self talk and change your deep unconscious beliefs. These then change your behaviors and emotions. These then change your self talk and so on.
The more the Welcome Life Free From Compulsive Body Piercing messages are repeated over and over, the more they are uncritically accepted by the deep unconscious. If you listen to the Welcome Life Free From Compulsive Body Piercing MP3 while sleeping, on ‘repeat’ your unconscious mind will hear this message almost 400 times every night. If you were to listen to the ‘Environmental – Lake waves’ MP3 while sleeping, you could choose to also listen to the ‘Pleasant piano and guitar melody’ and/or the ‘Zumba’ – Latin style dance music during the day. Then your deep unconscious would hear the affirmations repeated around 800 – 1200 times, while your logical conscious mind would hear it around 60 – 90 times. That’s powerful because a message repeated enough will become a new unconscious belief.
Also because we all have different listening preferences, Welcome Life Free From Compulsive Body Piercing has a choice of foreground variants for you to choose from. ‘Click here’ to hear samples.
Every one of us is unique. We have all had different life experiences and we react to them differently too.

Subliminal Affirmation Text Free From Compulsive Body Piercing
“You know excessive body piercing is a sign of low self-esteem and inability to cope with life’s emotional challenges. Body piercing is a gamble because of infection and various other health complications. This is detestable to you, so you no longer risk it.
You can cope with life challenges far better now. You have a healthy, well-adjusted self-esteem. You approve and love yourself. Body mutilation is now ghastly and abhorrent to you. As a result, your skin is growing more strong and beautiful.
You are now more clear in the mind, more relaxed in the body … now that you welcome life beyond excessive and compulsive body piercing.”
The Welcome Life Beyond Compulsive Body Piercing subliminal affirmations are clearly spoken once before they fade-down and ‘disappear’ from conscious awareness within masking music and environmental sounds, thereby foiling ‘adult’ conscious analytical thinking, which could otherwise ‘filter out’ messages. In this way, the listener knows for sure what their deep unconscious mind is hearing without listening to these messages its self.
