Maybe that's because I live in Paris. Here, you sometimes get criticized for wearing jewelry AND perfume, lmao.

I perhaps misunderstood your post : English isn't my first language. I thought you made a joke.
No, sorry. Unfortunately, it wasn't a joke. I did get criticized for wearing jewelry and perfume at the same time.
I was talking to someone recently whose teenage daughter got a lip piercing. Now that's something I could not get behind.
That awkward moment when you notice you made a typo, and you've already been quoted
Oh well. So anyway, where were we? Oh yeah... Sadly, for most teens, piercings/tattoos/etc. are nothing but a fleeting fashion rage, and they simply don't realize the long-term consequences... But hey, at least lip piercings do heal 
I think it's partly the sexual implication that disturbs me (for a teen)That awkward moment when you notice you made a typo, and you've already been quoted
Hmm, that's interesting. I don't really see anything sexual about lip piercings. Tongue piercings, maybe... but lip piercings look more like a fashion statement to me.
Love my double piercings. Got them done when I was 18, old enough that my mom wouldn't stop me haha! I personally don't like them unfilled either, but I adore the look with both earrings so much that it doesn't matter to me!
I'll add that I work in a creative industry (jeans and tees in the office) and piercings don't cause people to take a second look.
I have two holes in one earlobe and one on the other, but I also have about 5 other ear piercings (forward helix, conch, tragus, etc). I don't like the look of no jewelry in a pierced hole but I do wear micro sized earrings to fill them up. I don't wear large earrings either.
I used to have three earrings in each ear. About 10 years ago I decided I didn't like the look of that many earrings and let my holes close over. Unfortunately they never really do and you can still clearly see my second holes. I hate it on me. I feel really unpolished and have even looked into surgery/procedures just to get rid of these damn holes. My opinion, only get the extra holes if you plan on keeping an earring in all the time.
