I really don't see how anyone could have a problem with "Body modifications" unless it was incredibly extreme. For one, we are all individuals and do have a right to do to our bodies what we wish. Also, it is so commonplace now that the majority of people on college campuses, at least up north, have at least one piercing.
My house has always been full of pierced and tattooed people. No, we're not talking tattoes over 80% of the body, but one or two tasteful ones here or there. And piercing has never been an issue, actually probably almost everyone in my house has some sort of piercing aside from ears. One of our sisters is actually a body piercer, and we all get a "Kappa Delta Discount" at the studio where she works.
We're also not the only house that's like this, our campus in general is very pierced. It's extremelly socially acceptable up here.
I personally only have my belly button pierced and ears, of course. No tattoes, not my thing. But i have no problem with people who want to.
