It's interesting that "rebelliousness" is the marker (rather than slut) that is used above. I would argue that someone engaging in any piercing other than ears, anytime before 1990 would be rebellious. After 1992, they were just being trendy (regardless of what their parents believe).
As for being a marker of sluttishness? I don't see it as being a marker of sluttish behaviour anymore than say, wearing clothing that reveals cleavage or a shapely leg.
I've know some very promiscuous women (I hesitate to use the word slut) who looked like they stepped out of the secretary pool at a law firm.
