Thank you. I was wondering what I was missing when thinking all this through. I don't have any myself, but have wondered about the range of motivations for folks that get more than one. I figured it was at least tribal and wealth (expensive, can't be stolen) expression. Body modification as a way to exercise autonomy and agency - that absolutely tracks with folks I've met.
