Facial piercings have been very popular throughout the years. To include both primitive and modern cultures. Tribes once used body modifications as a rite of passage. They preformed various brandings, scarrings, and piercings. Tribes pierced the lips of women before marrage, adn stretched the piercing to mark the times. They piercings the cheeks of tribemembers, and wore bars connecting the piercings. Nose piercings began 4,000 years ago in Middle East as they were thought to make childbirth easier due to the placement of the female reproductive organs.
Today, we still see these piercings amongst our culture, as well as many other facial piercings. For the most part our facial piercings do not have anything to do with Genesis (as Rebekah was given the gift of a nose ring) or even high standings in our society. For the most part, out facial piercings as well as other body piercings are just for aesthetic purposes.

Healing Facial Piercings
Clean the piercing and around it with the saline or sea salt solution at least twice a day, to start. Soak a cotton ball or Q-Tip to clean the piercing.
You should, also, clean the piercing daily when in the shower. Gently, rub a mild soap on and around the piercing. Push the jewelry through the piercing, letting the soap clean the inside as well. Rinse the piercing thoroughly, as you do NOT want to have soap left on the piercing to dry.
Do NOT fiddle with the piercing any other time than when cleaning it. Playing with the jewelry will cause irritation and possible migration.
