You can pierce any flesh, really.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Where exactly does one pierce one's back?
Typically, down either side of your spine. But, could be all over, too.
(sure to be an x-post)
Was the kid paralysed?
Nope.
I just had to Google (for spellchecking) another body part that he had pierced and got a mild shock (though at least I spelled it right) -- I thought it was the little cupid's-bow at the upper lip, but it turned out to be at the other end of the body. For future reference, frenulum!=philtrum.
Hee.
Where on earth does one pierce one's back? On purpose?
The only back piercing I can think of (whitefonted for the squeamish) is people who run two rows of piercings down the middle of their back so they can run ribbon through it like the lacings on a corset. It's usually only done for photos and kink play parties, because those sorts of piercings don't last. There's not enough fleshy tissue, so they won't stay.
Other than that, I don't know.
Oh, I love those belts, and I bet they would look good on me if I could find the right skirts.
Why would a person pierce his back (particularly as many times as that young man in ita's linked picture)?

Kink play.
I saw a woman on Doctor 90210 last night hanging suspended by from rings in her back.
Okay, now I've read Jilli's answer. Sorry for the xposty question.
