I have reverted this change, pending conversation. Significant reliably sourced material has been removed and some has been altered in a way that the source does not support (Angel does not say a word about "less reputable piercers" and adding this kind of change violates verifiability and original research policies. Certainly, adding balance may be appropriate...but not in a way that misleads our readers as to what the sources say or that removes what reliable sources have to say for a different point of view. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:31, 16 May 2012 (UTC)
Per the recent AfD, a merger of Pocketing to Body piercing seems to be the best option for this article. I really wish the closing admin had just ruled that way. I don't have much to add besides echoing TPH's concerns with the article as is. BDD ( talk) 04:52, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
This article has a carefully balanced selection of images from different cultures around the world to avoid western bias. It is a general article on the subject of body piercing, and while it is entirely appropriate to include images of pierced genitals in appropriate subarticles, I don't believe that the article benefits from the inclusion here. Genital piercing remains quite rare. Naval piercing is by contrast very common. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:45, 18 July 2012 (UTC)
From the article: "they gradually thereafter came back into vogue in Italy, Spain, England and France—spreading as well to North America—until after World War I when piercing fell from favor and the newly invented Clip-on earring became fashionable."
Do the sources listed actually suggest that clip-on earring are more popular than pierced ears? If so, how recent are they. I cannot check since none of them are online sources, but this claim seems rather dubious. Tad Lincoln ( talk) 09:37, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
The BME encyclopedia article about nipple piercings says that the common "fact" that romans had nipple piercings is an urban legend. Does anybody has the knowledge necessary to judge the reliability of their source against source 40 in the article? Shim'on ( talk) 16:45, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
According to this report body piercing is a kind Steel addiction. If you guys think it's true then i would like to create a new section about Steel addiction. Steel Addiction details -- BrokenShip ( talk) 09:45, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

I've reverted the lead image recently replaced back to the long-standing image. The rationale for the substitution was to show gender neutrality, but since the article is on body piercing in general the current picture (also of a man) seems more on point, which three different types of piercings on display. The other was a lower quality image of a single piercing, which was obscured by a very prominent tattoo. I note that this change was made and reverted several weeks prior and would appreciate consensus before a new image is introduced. -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 03:39, 10 November 2021 (UTC)
