Piercing tusks jewelry is specially designed to enhance particular parts of the pierced body when it placed on that spot. The piercing tusk is more or less a curved or straight piece of material, which is normally tapered on one of the ends. Piercing tusks have been around for a long time in tribal communities all over the world, and these piercings are usually done on tribal chiefs and the men. Currently, piercing tusks have been made popular by the fad of body piercing, and they have adapted the traditional tusks of stature to stylish septum tusks made from many available materials e.g. metal, ivory, mother of pearl, and even plastic. Piercing tusks are still quite preferred by males of the society but there are quite a number of women that wear the historic art.

Nasal septum piercing is much less rampant than traditional nostril piercings that also have been around for centauries, mainly in the Indian heritage. The nasal septum is the apparent cartilige wall dividing the nostrils, and normally, the nasal septum cartilage itself is not the item that is pierced, but instead it is the small piece of skin between the cartilage and the bottom of the nose, which is normally measured at no bigger than 1.6mm. But the nose has numerous nerves criss-crossing throughout it, which could result in nose piercings being very painful, although it really depends on the individual.

Piercing tusks jewelry has earned its role in today’s society, as part of a growing trend in the piercing world. The piercing tusks of today appeals to a particluar type of individual, who maybe may not appeal to the rest of the general society. But they are very important part of tribal life, to the men that wear them. The tusks are carefully crafted in all different shapes and sizes ranging from 1” to 2”, and even in cases maybe even longer. They are normally sold with two rubber O-rings, so they could hold the tusk in place in the septum.

The best materials for making genuine piercing tusks would be traditional bone that the primitive tribes would use for their adornments. Finely crafted bone will be perfect for the most original tusks yet, but many other individuals perfer other sorts of materials when wearing their tribal adornments e.g. steel, a stronger substance and more apparently sharper at the point for the sleek, striking effect. Mother of pearl is another popular substance for creating a unique type of tusks that have a pearl finish and radiance about it, it also rond out at its point, and doesn’t have a sharp edge.

But along with the original piercing tusks, there are also fake tusks which are considerably cheaper than the genuine ones. Their features are definitely less smooth and lustrous than the authentic ones, and they are made from arduous plastics, and they hook into one another instead of using any gentle O-rings. They are also quite well-liked by the individuals that keep them afloat. And piercing tusks are rampant throughout the internet within the piercing body sites for accessories and body adornments. There you can find every shape and size of tusk to meet every taste and need.

Whether they are real or fake piercing tusks, they are both the favored theme for eccentric piercers that seek to recover the tribal look for whatever objective. Piercing tusks can achieve the  perfect out of the box look even for the most out of the box lookers, and can even provoke some interested or shunning stares, but that is just what the wearers want.
