    51yo here. Yeah they were. In fact, nipple and belly button piercings as well as women with tattoos (ej. Tramp Stamps) became fairly normalized by the early to mid nineties.

      I saw a butt piercing; an eyelid stud; a weighted frenulum chain (think bike lock); a full back brand ; and vulva “Sarlac Pit” tattoo all in the 90s. Everyone had something. I was an outlier in my career at the time in not having any tattoos or piercings or body mods. No judgement on those who did, just wasn’t for me.

          Well…from what I saw and how the ermm “procedure” was described…the sphincter. Think of a torus and intersect it with another torus 90 degrees to it’s central plane but positioned at it’s top. The piercing did not project into the anal verge but rather protruded along side it. Now I know what you’re thinking: “How the everlovin’ fuck do you keep that clean?!” Well, I can assure you they also wrestled with that problem. It was…well… as you can imagine the stuff of nightmares.
