* Sylens from ''VideoGame/HorizonZeroDawn'' has blue power cables woven through both of his arms and his chin. the DLC ''The Frozen Wilds'' shines some light on this with the Banuk Tribe: who use this practice to denote Shamans in their tribe, implying that Sylens was once part of the Banuk. [[spoiler:Subverted in when questioning the Banuk about Sylens shows that he could have just been an outsider claiming to be Banuk that had wanted to enter their culture in order to learn about The Old World artifacts that were scattered throughout their territory before moving on.]]

Let's say there's a hero from the western world meeting a tribe of HollywoodNatives somewhere in DarkestAfrica, UsefulNotes/TheAmazonRainforest, a {{tropical island|Adventure}} or another part of the world far from western civilization. How do we depict that these people are "savages"? By showing that they're pierced.

* Bonolenov's tribe from ''Manga/HunterXHunter'' subjects themselves to willful mutilation among the males at the age of three on up by shoving piercings into their bodies to eventually cover themselves in holes and turn themselves into living musical instruments that channel spirits with their Nen when they dance and the holes catch the wind. It's incredibly barbaric and sometimes the young unwillingly get this treatment.

* Subverted in ''Film/{{Apocalypto}}'', where it seems that all local tribes have piercings. The hero's tribe have simple piercings, while the more technologically advanced and urbanized Mayans have extremely intricate and ornate piercings, which are meant to show the decadence of their conspicuous consumption.
* ''Film/{{Avatar}}'' has a tribe of Na'vi with bones through their nose.
* Subverted in ''Film/{{Black Panther|2018}}''; various characters sport body modifications traditional to different African cultures (such as a lip plate), but they're all presented as refined and high-class.
