Let me remind everyone that the Punk Movement started roaring in the late 70's. Any punk rocker who remembers when it started is a minimum age of 30 and closer to 40 (I'm 35.. A regular X-Gen Patriarch). Back in my 'day' we used safety pins to do body piercings, unlike the youth of today, who use wireless phones to schedule appointments to have work done by a "Body Artist".
Of course the safety pins (and sometimes sewing needles) were completely unsanitary, but we didn't care because being being sanitary was just not part of the scene.
OTOH, the "Body Artists" of today do have an impressive array of tools that
can do piercings in places that just weren't possible with straight pins. Frex,
my wife Anita has a tragus piercing (the tragus is the little piece of skin and
cartilage in front of the ear) and the guy that did the piercing used (IIRC)
5 different tools. (Anita says the piercing hurt about the same as a
regular ear piercing except that she could clearly hear the crunch as
the "ice pick" broke through the cartilage :-)
By the way, the place where she got the piercing is a piercing and tattoo parlor that has a bumper sticker which says, "Born Ugly? We Can Help!" followed by name and the addresses of their two locations.
