According to John Leo, ‘’ Cultural crisis can’t really be dealt with by letting loose our personal obsessions and marking up our bodies’’, I myself totally agree with this statement. Have anyone ever thought about the affect of having a piercing? The following series of paragraphs will explain how people with piercing are looked at by society today. Most of society doesn’t really know the background of piercing. Today society can be very cruel and judgmental to new and different things and I will give you my sight on piercing.
People get piercing for several different reasons. They might not always be the right reason but they still get them. People get body piercing due to peer pressure. Other people get piercing to fit into a certain group that they want to be included into. Some teenagers get piercing to be rebellious against their own parents. Others get it done because they see a piercing as something beautiful and want to add that beauty to their own body.

The reason why they have to get it is that religion needs something to separate them with the other religion. Although it is not good to have it, you have to keep it since it is your choice to join this group.
