I don't like the look of piercings on people unless it's the ear, it makes me stare at the piercings and sometimes there off putting.

I don't need piercings, because I don't know what they are...but I will stick anything in my mouth that is given to me, whether it's supposed to go there or not, because...I'm different.

I'm actually too lazy to buy the clothes I so sorely need. At this point, worrying about accessories like piercings is far beyond my level of interest.

Because I want old people to hate me.

Oh I have tattoos and ride a skateboard on the sidewalk as well.

You will hate yourself when you get old, too.

70-80 year old with a piercing? Jesus Christ. My 55 year old uncle with tattoos looks bad with them, can't imagine him with those fugly things...

That's like paying someone to permanently maim you with a social stigma.

"Because they look cool."

Reasons not to get piercings: They bleed like HELL when they get ripped out, and it doesn't take all that much effort.

If you have a belly piercing? Don't. Skateboard. EVER.

Because needles are fun to have jammed into your skin, and you want to be magnetic?

Edit: Correct spelling and grammar are appreciated on the Escapist, by the way.

Most piercings will heal over when you get sick of them but yea I agree with the tattoos on old people. They are near enough permanent unless you fancy an acid bath.

Some piercings can look cool I guess. Not a massive fan of them myself but tongue piercings and ear piercings on girls can look cool.

Er, you can take piercings out and no-one will know you ever had one, much easier than hiding tattoos.

Just came up to you and asked? Talk about rude.
I'm cursed. I can't get any piercings because of skin allergies; breaks out in itchy blisters when in contact with most metals. Same with tattoos. So I'm the other extreme. "Why do you NOT have piercings." So, as I see it, if you can wear it then wear it. But I heard that eyebrow piercings can lead to some nasty permanent scarring, which is a bit of a deterrant for me personally. But I'm not sure.

Too many people have asked me why I have piercings, normally I just go with my provoking attitude and say "to give you something to talk about", ohhh they don't like that haha. :)
But really, it's because I think they look good on me. Which they do. I recently took out my lip ring because I didn't think it suited me as nicely anymore, but I'm keeping my nose ring as long as I still like it. Piercings really is just jewelry, lots of people don't really see it that way though. o_O
