Body Piercing
Does body piercing do it for you, or does it leave you feeling a little punctured?
Piercing, in one form or another, has been around for centuries. It's ritualistic, tribal, beautifying, exciting, erotic, horrific... the list can go on and on. Does a pierced hero or heroine turn you off, or turn you on?

I find piercing really hot, actually, except the thought of having it done to me, but also, it can be one of many ways to introduce a character, and some of his or her past, and it sheds light on very personal and private things. It can work as a conversations starter, a la, "what would make you stick something through that?" And it works well as a symbol, of punishment, penitence, remorse, regret, remembrance, first love, last love, and never going to love again, darn it.
I'm not saying I wouldn't use it in a story and it could even be sexy on the right person but I wouldn't have it done to me. I had my ears done when I was sixteen and I was much braver then and even so it used up about all the courage I had. They used "guns" to pierce then. Hubby had his ear pierced not so long ago, and I, remembering that I didn't feel a thing, asked if it hurt. "Yes!" he said in no uncertain terms. She used a 'slider' type thing to pierce his ear and he felt every millimetre going through. He's got a high pain threshold so for him to say it hurt made me blink. I would use it in a story though if it suited the character. I'm not sure I'd want to date someone who had too many unusual piercings though. LOL.
I like piercings for the most part. Sometimes I think they can be overdone, but the more I think on some of them-- like the small nose ring that most Hindi have-- I find it erotic and beautiful.
Like others have said- piercings mean something to the person who has them. There's a reason behind it, a need for it. For me, I have my ears pierced twice, but nothing else.Yet, I do have a tattoo for personal reasons.
I think you can use the idea of getting a piercing or even an old piercing as a turning point in a conversation to bring out some deeper issues between characters.
Hawt!
