Humans like to decorate themselves. Both the tattoo and the piercing have an extremely long history. The 5000 year old ice mummy Ötzi, discovered in an Austrian glacier in 1991, not only showed remnants of what must have been tattoos, but also had several holes in his ears of some ten millimeters. Ear piercings have practically always been around in Europe.

In the sixteenth and seventeenth century the earring was a popular piece of jewelry amongst gentiles. It’s curious that the earring became characteristic for nineteenth century lower classes, specifically so for fishermen. In Holland, inland navigation ship masters and North Sea fishermen often wore earrings in both ears, while sailors generally limited their earwear to only one ear.
