On July 23, 2019, a trend among men, particularly celebrities, has been observed, with many sporting piercings on their ears, noses, and even belly buttons.
While some may view this as a new phenomenon, it's essential to examine the underlying reasons behind this trend.
One possible reason is to display wealth. Many men opt for high-quality studs, such as diamond or gold, to showcase their financial status.
However, this may not be the only motivation. Some men may pierce their bodies as a form of attraction, hoping to draw attention from the opposite sex.
But is this approach guaranteed to succeed? Not necessarily, as not all women find piercings attractive.
Radio presenter Shaffie Weru revealed that he pierced his ears due to the trend at the time, with many celebrities, including Jaguar, Bahati, and Willy Paul, following suit.
Even politicians have been spotted with piercings, including Hassan Joho, Mike Sonko, and Babu Owino.
Another reason men pierce their bodies is to stand out and rebel against the norm. By doing so, they aim to separate themselves from the masses.
Finally, some men may pierce their bodies to attract attention, often with dramatic earrings and big studs.
