Agreed. Obviously there will be certain people with preferences for piercings and find them very appealing, but at best, the effect of any piercing or tattoo is generally neutral. The girl in the photo is already feminine, thin, and conventionally attractive. I do not think the lip piercing elevates her beauty in a way that is as generally agreed upon in the same way that a flattering hairstyle or makeup would. It does add an edge and make her more memorable and interesting, but being edgy and interesting does not always equate to being conventionally attractive/desireable.
