Neck ring
is an interesting form to live and art body for cultures Asian Neck rings or
neck-rings are any form of stiff jewelry worn as an ornament around the neck of
an individual, as opposed to a loose necklace. Many cultures and periods have
made neck rings exist many variants of this ritual that begin when the girl
have only 2 years the first is the torc, an often heavy and valuable ornament
normally open at the throat. These were worn by various early cultures but are
especially associated with the ancient Celts of the European Iron Age, where
they were evidently a key indicator of wealth and status, mostly worn by men The other type is one or more spiral metal
coils of many turns, often worn only by women In a few African and Asian cultures neck rings
are worn usually to create the appearance that the neck has been stretched Padaung (Kayan Lahwi) women of the Kayan
people begin to wear neck coils from as young as age two The length of the coil
is gradually increased to as much as twenty turns. The weight of the coils will
eventually place sufficient pressure on the clavicles to cause them to deform
and create an impression of a longer neck.
The custom
of wearing neck rings is related to an ideal of beauty: an elongated neck. Neck
rings push the collarbone and ribs down. The neck stretching is mostly
illusory: the weight of the rings twists the collar bone and eventually the upper
ribs at an angle 45 degrees lower than what is natural, causing the illusion of
an elongated neck The vertebrae do not
elongate, though the space between them may increase as the intervertebral
discs absorb liquid
One curious
thing is that the use of the rings don’t only is for to art body also if a women is
unfaithful with their husband the community removed their ring and many people
say that she die because their neck broken.
Scarifications
is one ancient art body the use of this method is very ancients special for
tribes of Africa, new guinea, and Australian culture but actually was adopted
like one for to mark for many years your body this process is accepted for many
people but is more traumatic than a tattoo the history of the reason of the
scarification is for to have a position in the tribe or the clan the use of it
indicate your social position, and have a meaning religious and exotic for many
cultures this begin when the women is a teenager and are ready for to marriage
this process is a little long because also use products for to exalted the scar
as juice of some plants also is a sing of their tribe is a distinction this
process have more meanings as Scarring
on the abdomen of women in many tribes is used to denote a willingness to be a
mother. Her ability to tolerate the pain of scarring was an indication of her
emotional maturity and readiness to bear children, is usually more visible on
darker skinned people than tattoos.
Actually
this practice is very common for people that prefer more pain than a tinted
that limited you if want or need donate blood.
I share with alls one typyes of scar an the process for to do one scar
A tattoo is
a form of body modification, made by inserting indelible ink into the dermis
layer of the skin to change the pigment.
The history
of the word tattoo provide of the tribe Tahitian tatu the history of the tattoo are very long the tattoo
have been with the men the use of tattoos have many meanings as religious, of a
specific culture that represent a status, rank, symbols of religious and
spiritual devotion, decorations for bravery, sexual lures and marks of
fertility, pledges of love, punishment, amulets and talismans, protection, and
as the marks of outcasts, slaves and convicts. The symbolism and impact of
tattoos varies in different places and cultures. Tattoos may show how a person
feels about a relative or about an unrelated person.
Today, people choose to be tattooed for
artistic, cosmetic, sentimental/memorial, religious, and magical reasons, and
to symbolize their belonging to or identification with particular groups,
including criminal gangs the use of tattoo have a big problem actually this is
because in china the criminals was tattoo in one area that all people can see
that their stay in jail, many activities with a gangster or criminal actions
have a high relationships with people tattooed
Actually is
very common to have a tattoo many people have one and don’t say that are a
criminal is one art that you can choose if you considered that are good for
your life is a form to express that all of us can choose actually exist some
types of tattoo that are common for example the cosmetic and the performance.
Other for

years they use in all countries and ancient cultures Body piercing, a form of
body modification, is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human
body, creating an opening in which jewelry may be worn. The word piercing can
refer to the act or practice of body piercing, or to an opening in the body
created by this act or practice. Although the history of body piercing is
popular in cultures like Aztecs Mayas, Egyptian and other cultures the meaning
of the piercing is specific an don’t all the people can get one in American
cultures the person that can have many was the priest that is because they have
the idea that contribute for to have contact with the godsactually the use of piercing is very common
