The sister of an ex of mine felt the same way. She said the pain of getting a tattoo or a piercing was a rush as much as the finished product. Back then she had... 4 tattoos and 6 piercings? I think she's about doubled it by now. She always struck me as pretty weird, though.
I'm still not a fan of either. Piercings are slightly betters than tattoos (a small nose stud on a girl can be decent, and earrings are fine), but I'd be just as happy if not happier seeing a girl without any modification.
