I do agree, it is very much a cultural thing...though I wouldn't say barbaric. It's just a different culture. I am sure in some cultures certain percings have special meanings or whatever, but in Western culture they dont. And most white/westerized people can't pull it off. Same goes for those 'tribal tattoos' and 'Chinese character' tattoos. It's like "come on honky, who are you trying to fool? Everyone knows you arent black/asian."
