Rook Piercing ? Rook is part of the ear which is at the top of the ear hole. This section contains cartilage, so rook piercing will be extremely painful (great rook piercing pain).
A tragus is made of cartilage, like the rest of the outer ear, and sits in the front area of the ear as a protective wall in front of the ear canal. It is flexible and hard, despite its small size relative to the rest of the ear. In many people, a piercing create a small hole with no visible scarring, however, many folks are genetically predisposed to build up a more obvious scar, called a tragus keloid.
Over the past few years body piercing has become more and more popular. Whereas 10 years ago, getting a piercing was an edgy, rebellious thing to do, these days it seems everyone has one: a belly ring, a tiny gem twinkling on a nose, a lip, a stretched hole in ear. Piercing: Everyone is doing it.
Industrial ear piercings having two holes, located in the upper cartilage ear (forward helix), and other hole are located on the side of the cartilage behind the ear (helix).

About this book
The language of slavery is the last but steep price any society must pay for having tolerated the institution and profited from it. . . . The hypocrisies, the racism, the sexism, the brutality bound up with the daily practice of slavery live on in language, where they continue to punish the descendants of both owners and slaves indiscriminately. The habits of expression that excused slavery endure as unfinished business, unexpiated sin, in all those societies that used words to exploit the enslavement of others. Thus slavery lives on long after the last slave has died.-Speaking of Slavery In this highly original work, Steven A. Epstein shows that the ways Italians employ words and think about race and labor are profoundly affected by the language used in medieval Italy to sustain a system of slavery. The author's findings about the surprising persistence of the "language of slavery" demonstrate the difficulty of escaping the legacy of a shameful past. For Epstein, language is crucial to understanding slavery, for it preserves the hidden conditions of that institution. He begins his book by discussing the words used to conduct and describe slavery in Italy, from pertinent definitions given in early dictionaries, to the naming of slaves by their masters, to the ways in which bondage has been depicted by Italian writers from Dante to Primo Levi and Antonio Gramsci. Epstein then probes Italian legal history, tracing the evolution of contracts for buying, selling, renting, and freeing people. Next he considers the behaviors of slaves and slave owners as a means of exploring how concepts of liberty and morality changed over time. He concludes by analyzing the language of the market, where medieval Italians used words to fix the prices of people they bought and sold. The first history of slavery in Italy ever published, Epstein's work has important implications for other societies, particularly America's. "For too long," Epstein notes, "Americans have studied their own slavery as it if were the only one ever to have existed, as if it were the archetype of all others." His book allows citizens of the United States and other former slave-holding nations a richer understanding of their past and present.
