Tongue piercing: meaning and origin of a little-known symbol

Ouadie Rhabbouron

This dimension has been disappearing, but it has left an indelible mark: that of a jewel that unites the visible with the invisible, the body with the soul

A modern symbol of identity

Today, tongue piercings have taken on a whole new meaning. They are no longer used to honor gods, but to assert one’s identity. Like a discreet tattoo, they have become an intimate signature.
For some, it’s a way to assert their independence; for others, it’s a sign of belonging to an artistic, alternative, or simply free community.

 

 

It can also symbolize curiosity, boldness, or that touch of madness that fills life with life. Wearing a piercing is often a way of saying,   “I choose to be myself, without compromise.”
