Zodiac Piercing Guide: Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Dearest Virgo:
Happy birthday, Virgo! You're an earth sign and ruler of the sixth house of the zodiac. This is the house of health and work - not just your career but any work that you do. You're ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, intellect, and awareness. Appropriately, your motto is "I analyze."
You're loyal, patient, and responsible, Virgo, so we're here to give you some fun (but trustworthy) advice on your body piercing exploits. From nose rings to belly button rings, Body Candy is here to offer some body jewelry suggestions that will truly emphasize your unique and charismatic zodiac profile.
It's only natural that Virgos are expert communicators and quick thinkers with excellent memories. Since you rule over the intestines and stomach, who better to rock a navel piercing that you? Virgos are also rather conservative people, so if a belly button ring is out of the question, perhaps you'd prefer a nostril piercing with a petite nose bone? Even a septum piercing would suit you nicely. A horseshoe ring or a retainer is easy to flip up so nobody knows it's there. Excellent for the modest Virgo, symbolized by the virgin.
As a Virgo, you're loyal and patient and want to care for the people you love. Unfortunately, you also can be self-pitying, harsh, and anxious. We have the perfect piercing for you - daith piercings are said to be able to help with anxiety (at least, according to the ancient practice of acupuncture). Perhaps you might benefit from a daith piercing, sporting a closure ring set with a green gem? Green is your color, after all!
C'mon Virgo, keep that tongue in check. You have a tendency to be overly critical of yourself and others. A tongue piercing might be a solution for this issue - a few days of swelling and impaired speech are an excellent reminder to "hold your tongue!" And afterwards, Body Candy even has green tongue rings, just for you!
You can be a bit of a neat freak and you're a very health-conscious sign, so aftercare should come naturally to you. Cautious and consistent, you're the perfect sort of person to get pierced! Don't let your natural tendency to overthink things stand in your way. You're also patient enough to last out even the longest of healing times, even those lengthy cartilage piercing times.
Virgos are methodical, industrious, efficient, and have an eye for detail. You make ideal craftspeople and employees! But you're not just some mindless worker bee either - you're smart and sophisticated with a razor-sharp wit. You're also extremely practical.
We wouldn't say that you're a cheapskate but sometimes you can be... Very frugal. One option that might especially appeal to Virgo's taste is our multi-packs of jewelry. We think they'll appeal to the part of you that's financially conscious. Body Candy is stocked full of multi-packs, including sets of industrial bars, belly rings, septum rings, nipple rings, and more. If you're looking for a REALLY good deal, for the best bang for your buck, you should consider joining one of our monthly club subscriptions.
Virgo can be picky and a bit repressed, as well as preachy perfectionists. You demand a lot from yourself and you may tend to put those standards on those around you. But you also have a kind heart and are consistent and reliable. The people in your life know that they can take you at your word and count on you to follow through. Your faithful, responsible nature shines through and highlights your caretaker tendencies. So if sometimes you're uptight, pedantic, or judgmental critics we remind ourselves that it's a small price to pay to have you in our lives. From all of us here at Body Candy, happy birthday Virgo!
