You know, I actually strongly agree with the facial piercings comment. I myself like nose studs, however when I started in healthcare, they warn novices about piercings and liability...they can be torn out like you said (not in a fight, but in the clinical setting etc).Piercings on ears. I stud per ear. (society norm for woman if they have earrings). Tongue stud ok. Like above too much metal on face is a not a good look. For a given ear piercing ok, just not too many and depends what you wear on your ears.
As long as it is tastefully done. Not overly done (as in too many piercings in the same place). Same thing goes for tattoos, 1 or 2 looks nice, but a whole bunch don't look that good.
Nose piercing and lip piercing are for me a big turnoff, mainly look at them as the lady is submissive and likes to be lead around on a leash... At least that is my opinion.
As mentioned above it seem many young woman get piercing, I think usually at the suggestion of a boyfriend or group they are with....
The one thing I am against for piercings, is if you get in a fight. First thing to come off is that piercing....Something to think about if you get piercings to look tougher.
Also, with contact sports you're taught to tape all your piercings, or remove them...lest they're torn out.
So, these days yes...less is more.
