Why do some people choose to have their tongue pierced? Aesthetic whim, a desire to stand out, a secret symbol? This little oral jewel attracts many questions… Behind this seemingly trendy gesture was a delightful, often little-known story, and meanings as amazing as they are ancient.
Tongue piercing: an ancient ritual full of meaning
Long before it was represented in the windows of modern salons, tongue piercing had a sacred dimension. In the Mayans and Aztecs cultures, this gesture was anything but meaningless. The priests of these ancient civilizations pierced their tongues during ritual ceremonies, for a specific purpose: to connect with the gods.
This spilled blood was not a simple providing; it indicated a bridge between the world of men and that of spirits. A powerful spiritual act, a million miles from current reasons. It’s a bit like wearing an ancient medallion without knowing that it’s actually a powerful talisman.
An announcement of self and a symbol of freedom
Today, getting your tongue pierced is barely a spiritual endeavor. It’s become a means of expression, a way to say, “I am me, and I own it.” Many consider it as a special way to stand out, much like a discreet but meaningful tattoo.
