yes finally someone on my wavelength. piercings and big colourful tattoos are the hottest shit hentai can offer because in reality it's such a shock factor normal people would just feel uncomfortable talking about it. then why tf would I watch drawn porn if I wanted the tamest shit possible flesh porn can offer.
I don't know where you live, but folks where I live are pretty much indifferent.
Like sure, it could be a neat conversation piece, but you're only going to have that conversation like once, if even that. I can't imagine how you'd have a prolonged conversation about your piercing or tattoo. You can't really change tattoos like you change clothes and a piecing for the most part is basically just jewelry. Only people with a lot of disposable income have crazy tattoos and elaborate piercings. That shit ain't cheap. If you suddenly gain or lose a lot of body mass (whether fat or muscle), your piercings or tattoos might not look right. And that's not even getting into how tattoos basically warp every time you move or change posture and how piercings snag on everything. They're nowhere as elegant or nice as you see them in 2D art or animations.
