The piercings (including multiple ear, eyebrow, and nipple piercings) that Rooney Mara sports as Lisbeth Salander are real, not cosmetic simulations. Mara got the piercings in a series of sessions in Brooklyn and Sweden. The ear, nose, eyebrow, and lip piercings were removed after shooting completed, but she kept the right nipple piercing for possible sequels. "It's not something I want to ever get re-pierced," she said. "So I'm going to keep it in."

CLAIRE HEFFER DESIGN: BIRTHDAY TRADITION

DID YOU KNOW?

The tradition of putting candles on a cake is believed to have begun with the ancient Greeks. They would offer moon-shaped cakes to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. And to symbolize the moon’s glowing light, the Greeks lit candles and placed them on the cake. As for why we blow out birthday candles and make a wish, this likely got its start in ancient times. Many cultures believed that smoke carried your thoughts and prayers to the heavens. Today, if you’re able to blow out all of the candles on your cake in one breath, it’s said the wish you make will come true. Well, it’s worth a try!
