I literally had never a seen a single person who looks good with them. Not a single person had ever said they look beautiful.

To add to all of that you need to have a hole in your body to have them.

Seriously, why the heck does it exist anyway?

very unpopular, good job

Okay, but about it being a modern thing, Otzi the ice man, the 5300 year old glacier mummy, had pierced ears.

Idk, a little belly button piercing can be very sexy IMO. I don't have them (nor tattoos) but I have eyes and a penis. 🤷

I like piercings, except for the extreme ones. I don't like "gauging"--bigger and bigger holes--especially in the side of the mouth, no, thank you. I don't like the broader category of body modification, that make people look like aliens--things I won't mention.

My unpopular opinion in this area is I don't like tattoos, except for very small ones, maybe a memorial to a loved one, something like that.

Good thing they aren't a modern invention

You don't like tattoos....are you sure? I am asking because I feel that tattoos if they don't look pretty, the rarely look ugly.

To give you extreme examples:

See my point?

Piercings, and other body modifications, from tattoos to plastic surgery, are a way to express individualism. Hair style, and hair coloring are also body modifications, albeit less drastic in nature.

While I generally don’t support piercings for the same reasons op stated, I do for some unexplainable reason find earrings and nose rings on women to be attractive.

Body piercing isn't modern at all.
