Who invented piercings?

I’m a huge fan of piercings, but I have to wonder who’s the person that thought “I wouldn’t mind sticking a needle through my lip”. Does anyone know where piercings originated from?

The person who invented piercings was a random caveman who tried to make out with a dinosaur porcupine. Aftwe which dinosaur porcupines found themselves being stalked and frequently assaulted by humans; they were the first dinosaurs to go.

piercings have always been a part of human ciivilization. in many places like south africa and south america, piercings are used to demonstrate culture, status, gender, wealth, etc. along with disks, neck lengthening rings, bowls, prcing can mean many things to many people and it has been used to display these thing since we decorated our clothes with beads, shells etc.
