Well, it's the why part of "Hey! I want that!"
I don't have a why for most of mine, so I haven't been thinking other people need one. I thought the navel would be pretty, and the nipple was part of a control issue I was having. Piercing all up my left ear? Just because I wanted to. How it looks or feels or what it means...zip there. I also kinda want a tongue piercing, but I think the discomfort part of the healing process would drive me insane.
Maybe Jesus used a robotic submarine that traveled under the ice and held it up as he walked above it....
Based on the principles he lays out, we seem to be doing very well. Good for us!
Can we have a rating system like slashdot?????

Or a submersible Zamboni.

I think that's enough of a why, though. I just figure that people doing more extreme stuff might have more complex answers. But that's just a guess.
I don't think there's any reason to assume that tastes outside societal norms require more complex motivations than tastes within them.
(For me, piercings are out of the question because they tend to result in severe eczema at the site. Unfortunately.)

Yeah, pretty sure that's in the Book of Kodos. Or possibly Kang, I disremember.

Narrator, isn't that cool? I'm ruling in their ruling out of 1:02:03 pm though, just because I like to sleep I can.

Yeah--once you've broken that barrier, there doesn't need to be a depth to it.
Although I'm sure there sometimes is. Controlled cutting impulses, for one. Aesthetics. Whatever.

Yeah, maybe not. I mean, most people's reason for doing anything is probably "because I want to." I know that the teacher at my old job who had big disks in her ears and lip (edit: and tattoos on her face. heh -- I forgot about that) had reasons beyond "it's pretty," but it's not a requirement or anything.
