Some people like it.
Some people hate to see it.
Others just want to touch it. Although pieces of metal jutting out from the skin seems best coupled with a bizarre scene of savages dancing about a tribal fire, the truth is that body piercing has infiltrated the morals, values, and bodies of mainstream America. Twenty years ago, a pierced nose would have elicited sharp gasps, pointing fingers and a hefty stigma. The mere fact that piercing is not solely the domain of the young may surprise some, but not piercing artists such as Vince Weiner of Los Angeles' Gauntlet Piercing. The resulting multitude of piercings, from a sedate pierced eyebrow to bull rings to lanced genitalia, have assaulted everyday sight.
