I find these type of things very odd.
And that is the key.
In the sixties it was enough to grow your hair over your collar to have people think the world was ending.
In the seventies it was required to wear extreme clothes, or coloured and sculpted hair.
Three decades after punk, and you have to cut the end off your cock and wear it hanging out of your fly to have people be startled by you.
People (predominantly young men, but not always) like to create fear and suspicion in those around them as a way of asserting power and identity. Body mods are a very extreme way of setting the bar for getting into your clique REALLY high (in financial and personal terms).
