When it comes to piercings, there are several reasons why a person may want to get them. Some people think they’re a fashion statement, while others say they’re rebellious. For some groups, piercings can also have cultural significance, or it may just be a way to accessorize your body. Nonetheless, they are a form of self-expression.

That’s why in 2007 a now-defunct website called GoofyAuctions.com created National Piercings Day, so people can celebrate their gleaming body art.
