Body piercing information

[ntijan]

My shop has been looking online for information about body piercings like the history and basic information. We are having a really hard time finding good sites that have accurate information. The reason we are looking for articles is because we did this for our tattoo apprentices and we have them read up on the Trade before we teach them. Also if anyone knows of any good sites from doctors regarding body piercings please let me know....Thanks
