Some people use a piercing as a symbol of owhership. Most are non exposed areas, so thery are less visible to the person in the next cubby at work than a collar would be. An as MissAli mentioned they are not as permenant as a tattoo or brand, so that if the releationship DOES end it can be removed if so desired. On my personal piercing history, I have 2 captives in my ear (black chrome 12 gauge). In the past I got my tongue done (12 gauge I believe) because I was bored, and it went fine. Removed when my tongue was about to close over the shorter bar I later put in. I also had a 14 gauge PA done, several times, and was surprised at how little it hurt (The reason it was done several times and why I don't still have it is a loooong story that I would be willing to share over a beer sometime but not important to this discussion). The PA had a little initial bleeding but is one of the faster healing piercings if done well, so Mr Happy can get back in service relatively quickly. And for those wondering about ari travel, lucite jewelry can be substituted for any removable pieces before you go on your trip ( a tip from a friend who had a dbl-0 gauge PA). Nuke PS- forgot to add, none were done for relationships, and I don't consider myself masochistic...
