Wow he does seem to have a thing for the word masochistic doesnt he?lol As for me; I have 5 Tattoos, left ear and left nipple pierced. If its not hurting anyone else and your into it fine, up to the point of amputation which is in my opinion the most asanine thing ive ever heard!But as for piercings, they arent hurting anyone else so its no ones business but the person getting them.Same with Tattoos , long hair (untill last year my hair was down to my belt line) etc.Peace
