It is a mental illness, like tattoos. Self mutilation, momentary pain, a token amount of blood. It is exclusively related to either rebellion or trying to fit in with a group who does this. Or the rebellious then fitting in with the other rebellious to out-rebel them.
Unfortunately, that is by no means the worst piercing I've heard of. It is possible to get your manhood pierced. When I first heard about that (in a Robin Williams comedy act), I was struck speechless.
Wes, I was actually laughing out loud over this post. Nice bit of work.
Thanks, Arielle. 
My pastor and I refer to these types, as the ones that fell into the tackle box.
Had one visit the church a while back. The Lord will save your sorry soul even if you look like an accident which has already happened.
So while we laugh at the ones that fell into the tackle box, we also treat them with loving kindness, and do our best to introduce them to Jesus Christ.
I wouldn't have a problem with men getting piercings so long as women considered it a turn-off. Because then there would be more chicks for me.
In general, though, yeah, all those piercings might as well be a billboard advertising white trash. Only oxen should have rings in their noses.
I understand why women pierce their ears: tasteful earrings accentuate a woman's natural beauty.
I wouldn't even go that far. Women with pierced ears is something we're all accustomed to, but I don't think little bits of metal and rock actually make a woman more beautiful. Though they definitely make her more "earthy", since she has bits of the earth embedded in her cartilage. So it's cool for hippie chicks, I guess.

Ha, this gave me a good chuckle.

That's certainly the right way to go about it, FT.
