Body piercing is one of the ancient and widespread types of body art. It was first adopted by the Romans to show their bravery and was also used as a practical means of fastening their dress. In Borneo, genital piercings like the apadravya and ampallang were in practice. Female genital piercings developed later and are used for erotic stimulation. Girls from the African tribes have ear, nose and lip piercings to assist them to wear ornaments denoting their tribal identity and protect them from witchcraft. African Pokot girls wear lip plugs when they are wedded, which is also followed by Turkama men and women.
