Not as much as most people think, I bet.
My ears were pierced before I was old enough to remember. My Aunt Maggie took me without telling my mother. I doubt she was trying to be sneaky about it, she simply didn't think these things through. Not that mom really cared all that much aside from apparently not being happy with the earrings my aunt picked out. Sometimes I wish I still had them.
I haven't added any other piercings since. It's not that I'm against it, it's just not something I've ever felt the need to do. I do have one tattoo on my ankle, however, it had a reason and purpose behind it which I doubt I will have again. Non-permanent markings tend to be my preference; I've been khol'd and henna'd more times than I can recall.
As for jewelry, well, so far as what I actually wear that remains rather modest. What I own, in a manner of speaking, is a different matter. But I suppose I come by the joy of simply having something whether anyone else knows about it or not honestly.
And let's not talk about scars. There isn't enough time in the world.
