Maybe you need to get out of Wisconsin... LOL.
Around here (Bay Area), the piercings and tattoos are very commonplace - for both males and females. Snakes aren't such a popular hobby, probably because there are restrictions in some cities... not to mention, we don't have too many native snakes/reptiles here. But they're also not really frowned upon, and most people think it's cool when I mention them. I have a few local girl-friends who collect snakes, and there's at least one large Herp Expo annually.
