Yes, it's normal to judge people based on their appearance. But that doesn't mean it's right.
I think you should try expanding your acceptance of people a little more. First, try to understand where your fear and intolerance is coming from. What kind of negativity do you associate with people that have piercings? That they're trashy, low-class, criminals? It's a pretty broad assumption. Immediately dismissing someone based on appearance means you're shutting out your understanding of who people are. You're just manifesting your own fears by immediately rejecting people you don't like the look of. You could be missing out on making some really great friends, or meeting really cool people.
You need to learn to accept that a piercing is not just a fashion choice, it can be a religious choice, as well as something deeply personal. Maybe you associate piercings with a negative conflict in your past. In that case, it's YOU who has the problem. Something you should seek help for.
I'm assuming that you're probably young, in which case, you have a lot of life experience to gain before you realize that there are an infinite number of differences in people, none of which make them bad, or evil. There's nothing you can do about your judgement of others until you learn to accept that people are different, and that's why this world is so beautiful.
Piercings are EVIL!!!!
