This is a diamante micro-dermal piercing done by Jane at Punktured in Brighton. If it heals ok (I got it 22/04) I'd like to get 5 in a row across the arm.
Shot it at "Gajan Fair".
Gajan a Shaivite folk festival, held on CHAITRA SANGKRANTI (the last day of Chaitra..according to eng calendar ,its in middle of april) and on full moon nights up to the full moon of Asadh. The festival is associated with various gods. There may thus be SHIVA's Gajan, the Gajan of DHARMA THAKUR, the Gajan of Nil etc. But the main object of this festival is to celebrate the marriage of the sun and the earth. The reason for this festival is perhaps to appease the sun and pray for rain during the hot, dry month of Chaitra.
The festival is arranged on the premises of Shiva temples. Those who take part in the festival after making vows are called sannyasi or bhaktya. They take sacrificial food and wear uturi (wrappers). Each one holds a staff. They try to satisfy the god through different acts of penance, such as piercing their tongues with nails, jumping upon thorns, walking on burning charcoal, etc. CHADAK PUJA is performed on the occasion of the Gajan festival. During this festival, processions are brought out from the premises of the temple of Shiva and taken to other villages. A pair of processionists take the roles of Shiva and Gauri and render dances. Other bhaktyas take the roles of Nandi, Bhrngi, ghosts and spirits, monsters and demons and dance along with Shiva and Gauri. During this time different verses are recited narrating the story of how Shiva's sleep was disturbed and going on to his marriage, his agricultural activities etc. This festival usually lasts for three days. During the gajan on Chaitra Samkranti, Kali dances are also performed in some places describing how the goddess slaughtered the monster Asura.
Excerpt from a MSN conversation when I was asking about the piercing:
su un palazzo c'è un grosso piercing con due gocce di sangue una rossa e una blu. queste due goccie rappresentano il sangue nobile e quello popolare. infatti un tempo era la nobiltà che viveva in questi palazzi in seguito sono state abitate delle persone comuni. per ricordare questo hanno costruito questo enorme orecchino.
For interested english-speaking folk:
"You can see blood spilling from the pierced building: red blood and blue one". The red one is supposed to come from normal people, the blue one from the aristocracy. This to show that in the past those building were inhabited by rich aristocrats, and now by "common" people (who are rich btw because that building is in Torino downtown, hence relatively expensive).

Play piercing, needle play, or recreational acupuncture is body piercing done for the purpose of enjoying the experience rather than producing a permanent body decoration. Needles,sharpened bones, or other tools used in play piercing are removed from the body when the episode is complete, allowing the wounds to heal. Those who engage in play piercing may do so for self-expression, as a part of a ritual imitating mock tribal cultures, for the purpose of spiritual self-discovery, for sexual pleasure, for simple entertainment, raising awareness or relieving boredom.
