In the heart of the vast expanses of the desert of Namibia resides an extraordinary tribe, the Himba. Their beauty and strength are a living testimony to human resilience and harmony with nature.

The Himba are a nomadic people, closely linked to the arid land that surrounds them. Their deep connection with nature is reflected in their way of life and their timeless elegance.

But the beauty of the Himbas goes far beyond their outward appearance. Their real strength lies in their communal way of life and their profound knowledge of nature. They have developed ingenious methods to survive in extreme conditions, using the limited resources of their environment to support themselves. Their ancestral wisdom, transmitted from generation to generation, allows them to find water in unsuspected places, to recognize medicinal plants and to perpetuate sacred rituals.

If I'm a fan of this tribe, it's because its inhabitants live in harmony with nature, respecting natural cycles and preserving biodiversity. They have a deep knowledge of the plants and animals around them, and they use their wisdom to preserve the fragile balance of their ecosystem.

She is for me an inspiring example of the power of community and connection to the forces of Nature.

My first Himba inspired piercing jewelry is an 18k solid gold nipple piercing for men and women. The two cones appear pointed but are rounded off when polished making them extremely smooth.
