In the age of authenticity, a nipple piercing might be the choice for anyone looking to make a (somewhat) subtle statement.Hey all! For the month of April, I’m taking a break from The Pigtown Chronicles, and will be posting some caption stories instead. Cassi Lopez from New York Adorned, which does tattoos and piercings, told Mic that she's certainly seeing a rise in customers coming in for nipple piercings. OK, but is this, like, a Thing? Yep. It Girls are reclaiming this trend as their own, and it turns out so is everyone else. This one is harder to fake, so it's likely that'll you'll have to go all in if you want a nipple ring. Why it's great: Unlike other body piercing trends, nipple piercings feel more personal because they aren't meant for everyday viewing, which some might find empowering. Who's wearing it? Kendall Jenner, Kylie Jenner, Bella HadidĪ bit of history: Nipple rings have been around the block before (some say as far back as Victorian times), having gained popularity among the gay BDSM-and-leather crowd in the 1970s and again in the '90s, as seen on Janet Jackson's 1997 Vibe magazine cover. Now it's popular for anyone looking for something a teensy bit edgy - though it's getting less so by the day. OK, but is this, like, a Thing? Oh yeah. The septum piercing trend has been gaining traction over the past several years, Google searches show, but really exploded in 2015. Though we wouldn't recommend a septum ring in the board room, their subtlety makes them a bit more wearable day to day. Like lip rings, you don't have to fully commit to this one either. Why it's great: Septum rings are definitely an edgier look, but they can also be quite elegant. But they really date back much farther, to islands like Borneo and New Guinea, Meso- and South American peoples like the Mayans and Incas and Native American tribes in the U.S. Who's wearing it? FKA Twigs, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and all the cool girls on InstagramĪ bit of history: Contemporary nose piercing appears to have arrived in the United States around the 1970s, brought back from India by hippies, and popped up in the early 1980s, as the punk look crept in. So what's really back in style and worth going under the needle for (or just clipping on a fake)? Here are some that, oddly enough, are actually back. Not everything is back, of course (that middle cartilage piercing your camp counselor had hasn't gotten much fanfare). What was once stigmatized as trashy or tasteless is now apparently cool again.

Designers like Givenchy and Eva Fehren are peddling septum rings for hundreds of dollars, while designer Delfina Delettrez has gone as far as engagement septum rings (!). Certain body parts are obviously more traditional at this point, earrings aren't trendy so much as a rite of passage ( even for babies) and the nose ring has proven consistent.īut lately, numerous piercing trends we long thought dead (at least from "mainstream fashion") are back in vogue. Whether worn as a sign of rebellion, a fashion statement or a cultural tradition, piercings have long been an idiosyncratic way to express ourselves. The look was surprising enough to make headlines and invite questions: Is this a Thing now? The 23-year-old model was seen earlier this month at a Chanel party wearing a shiny silver hoop in the middle of her bottom lip. If Cara Delevingne is doing something, it must be cool. There are a few principles in life we can confidentially rely on:Ĥ.
