Get Yourself Pierced

 

You've always been tempted, but somehow never managed to get round to doing it. In the holiday spirit, though, things look and sound much easier. It is that good feeling of relaxation or, perhaps, the keener sense of adventure that finally persuades you.

It could be bungee jumping or deep-water diving, and it could be the current fad of body piercing. There are modern tattoo and body piercing studios in Malta that go back twenty-five years, enough time to garner the experience for safe and legal practices in this unique art form, but the inspiration goes back much further.

From Phoenician times, when colours and perfumes already played an important part in local lifestyles and fully exploited their export potential, to the time of Roman rule and the British Era, the Island has always had this fascination with body art experience. The marketing of modern body piercing products and services, which are known to emphasise their connection to longstanding cultural practices from the distant past of world history, is part of the exciting new Malta scene catering for the younger and possibly braver generation.

All contemporary body piercing studios in Malta conform to EU regulations and take the necessary precautions to protect the health of the person being pierced and the piercer. Tools and jewellery are sterilized and surfaces are cleaned with sterilizing agents on a regular basis and between clients. The services on offer include ear piercing, facial and oral piercing and specific body piercing.

And if all that wasn't enough to persuade you, then maybe the fact that Malta's body art specialists are considerably less expensive than their European counterparts might just be...
