Me too wondering that.How if get pierced on our tongue..how they feel convinient on that when eating food or when talking ,since we use our tongue more to curl to express some words.I guess they feel cool and trendy when they did that and some love being pierced in their private parts coz they make more seduction for their partners i think..I have no idea about that.I only get pierced in my ears and my nose.

I got my belly button pierced because i liked how it looks. It's just a fashion statement.

I guess to them that is a very interesting or entertaining thing somewhat. I don't really know because I wouldn't do that.

It does seem odd to have piercings in those areas. I have my ears pierced because it was the thing to do at the time and I wear earrings. The other places must be a statement to someone. The tongue is so stupid, because no one can actually see it as well as they can hear it. People sound like they can't talk when their tongue is pierced. The other places are just a form of arty I think.

well piercing is a form of body modification and modifying body parts is part of a ritual,part of a culture having different meanings in different parts of the world. piercing is the practice wherein a body part is pricked producing a hole where a ring is placed to retain or expand the whole produced. it depends upon the person being pierced.. the reasons are vast and it depends upon the culture.. body piercing is an act of choice and it is dependent upon the person.

I think it is a cry out for attention to say "lookie lookie what I did" I am not a huge fan of crazy piercings. THANKS!

i do have piercings on my ears and belly button. maybe i'm just influenced by my friends it looks sexy when you have a belly button especially you use a nice jewel on it. But other think its not nice because its to bulgar but for me its not.
