Self-expression goes “extreme”?
A few weeks ago, the Granite Bay Press-Tribune featured an article entitled Self-Expression Goes Extreme which argued that nowadays “those craving to wriggle out of the cookie cutter look to extreme measures to mark their individuality” and that there are four main motivations for body art.
According to the piece,
A walk through any shopping mall features examples of stretched earlobes, lip and facial piercings and extreme tattoos as ways of expressing individuality by using the body as a canvas.
[and]
Tattoo artists and piercers agree that there are four “core” reasons why people choose to modify their bodies with tattoos and piercings: for aesthetic value, sexual stimulation, commemorate pivotal events and religious purposes…
So, what do you think BodySparklers? Is body art becoming “extreme”? Why have you chosen piercings or tattoos? Tell us in the comments!
Genuine 14K Gold Birthstone Nose Rings
Everyone knows that birthstone jewelry makes gorgeous and unique gifts. But do you know how each birthstone came to be linked to certain calendar months? Gem scholars (yes, there is such a thing!) actually trace the birthstone tradition back from the Old Testament of the Bible. Moses’ brother Aaron, a high priest, is often described as wearing a breastplate adorned with twelve different gold-set gemstones. These gemstones represented the twelve tribes of Israel, but over time the stones became associated with certain calendar months.
There are also many non-Christian variations of birthstones, including Mystical birthstones, which are of Tibetan origin and date back over a thousand years, and Ayurvedic birthstones, which are from the ancient Indian medicine and philosophy dating back to ancient India (1500 BC). Birthstones have also been tied to ancient Pagan religions and even to the collective wisdom of the legendary lost city of Atlantis. The modern birthstone list (the one we all know and love) was officially adopted by Jewelers of America in 1912 and is most widely used list in the United States.
BodySparkle has a fantastic collection of Genuine 14K Gold Birthstone Nose Rings for every month of the year. From yellow gold nose screws to white gold nose bones, our collection lets you flaunt your birthstone style in a unique, gorgeous way. Check out some of our choicest September pieces below:

Back to School: Body Jewelry Basics
As summer fades into fall, students across the country are bidding adieu to months of fashion freedom and returning to the classroom. Many schools — both public and private — have dress codes that restrict the wearing of body jewelry (boo-hoo!). But with BodySparkle’s Back to School Body Jewelry Basics, you can hide your piercings from nosy school administrators and skirt your school’s “no piercing policies” with fun (and removable) non-piercing jewelry.
If your school bans body jewelry you can keep your piercings open — without drawing attention to them — with Bodysparkle’s terrific selection of piercing retainers. Our high-quality belly button piercing retainers, eyebrow piercing retainers, septum retainers, nose retainers and tongue retainers are available in many gauges and stem lengths to fit your piercing needs. Just remove your body jewelry before school and slip in a clear retainer: voila! Please note: although are retainers are all clear, they may appear darker on your computer screen for optimal viewing.
Freak out your teachers and impress your friends with a selection from BodySparkle’s fabulous collection of Non-Pierce Jewelry. Our line features a dazzling array of non-pierce ear plugs/gauges, non-pierce hoops for the ear, lip and nose, and non-pierce tongue rings.
