Piercings
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Piercings during the middle ages were a means by which warring tribes could identify their own people, much like branding. In modern times they are often used to stop the spread of a tattoo.
Piercings are also used in the Western Hemisphere to identify criminals. It is also common for women to pierce their ears to mark the number of sexual conquests for any given day.
