Tattoos, piercings and body modifications: why?

[Albertosaurus Rex]

if you want to pierce your body, you should get someone to help you. preferably with a knife or similarly pointed object.

I think that's a rather venomous remark, Thul. I hesitated before positing that piercing might be the mark of an unhealthy person, because some (pierced) people might take offense to that thought. However, what you're doing there is pure flamebaiting. Let's try to keep this discussion civil.
