Everyone does things that could be considered non-conformist. The tattoos and piercings thing is still non-conformist. By far, most people DO NOT get pierced and tattooed. The reason you see the trend is because its relativley popular. You won't make any mention of the conformists, because you see them all the time, and the way they dress is probaly the same way you dress. So in your mind, the conformists arent something you even recoginize. You see what isnt you and label it such.
Such non-conformists, of course, tend to hang out with other non-conformists, and they can relate to them. Its the same as conformists hanging out with other conformists. The jocks hang out with jocks, the geeks with geeks, the goths with goths, etc.
That was a rambling post, but I think I got the msg across.
