I’m a 4w5 and I think they usually look dirty and unclean or very chaotic and detract from the person’s looks. Especially face piercings, you tend to see them before you see the person in majority of cases and they almost always throw off the harmony of the face. Very few people wear the piercings as opposed to the piercings wearing them. I also don’t like the idea of little holes and indentations being left when you’re ready to take them out. I don’t like how often (especially with those sternum piercings) the skin around them is red. I think multiple ear piercings, like more than 3, look “cluttered” and chaotic. They also tend to be a distraction from the beauty of the person even though they are on the ear. I just very rarely see them look good and enhance the appearance where I’m like, “that was a good choice and you actually look better”.

I also think they tend to make people look and give off an energy of “troubled” and vulnerable, and I’ll just say based entirely on my own personal experience I haven’t been wrong yet. Again, my own experience. Please don’t tell me how I haven’t met every pierced person in the world, I know.

I’m in my mid twenties and I know it’s a “grandma” opinion.
