Extreme tattooing seems to be more about memory (skin as life blockchain?) while extreme piercings seem to be about something else since the ornamentation seems relatively low on information/symbolizing
That was my null hypothesis but I think pain management theory is more compelling

I do see a vague correlation between "lots of piercings" and "masochism", if casual observation of kinksters counts. Not sure I see the pain management: people I know who've developed fibro, etc. didn't suddenly fill their body with metal. OTOH, I don't know many heavy piercers.

I meant mental pain as in life traumas
