Sorry, should have added "...in the U.S." Here, it's based on subculture. For instance, men who are into extreme heavy metal music now pierce their septums (septa?) Nose piercings started out being a feature of hip-hop-oriented females in the '80s, then rock-oriented white males in the '90s, then females in this decade.

Nipple ring = too many nerve endings.

I did the upper cartilage of my right ear when I was....oh hell, maybe 18? Cartilage is meant to take more abuse; that said, if it's done wrong it can cause damage that renders the cartilage unable to retain its shape (which defeats the whole purpose). Both my ears still have the same shape they've always had save for a small "dent" where I pierced one too close to the edge.
