Is body piercing a good or bad thing?

It comes down to your personal taste and your point of view. Most people don't have an issue with body piercing, they like the look and what is says about them. Others think it's stupid and looks dumb mind you they live boring lives and that's what they like.

Body piercing done by a professional can add something to any ones look and be socially acceptable in almost any situation. Badly done home piercings look just like that, badly done poorly placed messed up piercings, it's that lack of planning that can bring the look of a good piercing down. So Ultimately it's up to the individual and what she/he likes, it's not for everybody.
