And the kind you want...lots of money.
But hey, go for it, who knows maybe very spiff, and if not, nobody else has to see it.

FYI: It is my understanding that most women who wouldn't actually get nipple piercings themselves, are not attracted my them.
Very true. If you are into ladies who are scattered with piercings, then by all means go for it.
Tattoos however... are permanent. They age and fade and stretch. You seem like you have half a brain on you which is a good indication that you will end up in some technical and professional career. FOR GOD SAKES DON'T GET ONE THAT IS VISIBLE. You will never be taken seriously in a corporate environment.
Seriously though...tattoos...eh...My sister has like three or something, and she wants more. I've seen two of them. One looks okay, but the other, quite frankly, I think they messed the colors up on. Looks like a bruise.
And she gets to live with that for the rest of her life, for all intents and purposes.
Piercings are less risk...but people will poke fun. I knew a girl who had a belly button ring and got pregnant. took the ring out when she started to show. TOO LATE. her expanding tummy stretched the hole all out of proportion.
Another girl I know was smarter...(and this sort of thing applies to women with pierced nipples rather than men for reasons that'll be apparent momentarily). She had the piercings done at a high end place where everyone there had nursing degrees or physician's assistant degrees. Why? because she didn't want them ramming a rod through the wrong part of her nipple and have scar tissue make it impossible for her to breastfeed.
Point I'm making is...tattoos are permanent, piercings will heal...but if you get a piercing, ask what repercussions there might be.
As for guys getting pierced genitalia...NO. N-O. Guys go their entire lives pretty much trying to avoid groin pain. What's the sense in ramming a nail through your wang after waiting so long avoiding pain? besides...end of the piercing comes off mid coitus...okay so it could be fun fishing the bit out. On the other hand...be reeeeeeeeeeeeally careful withdrawing or you'll never get invited over again.

Doing all that stuff doesn't make you angsty. But, if your parents and friends buy into the stereotype, then you can make them think you are.
Also, half of that stuff I mentioned also applies to "computer nerds/geekboys". So, if he decides to go with that image instead, he's at least half way there.
One piece of advice, though. Make sure to see some of the work the tatoo artist has done before you get a tatoo done. And by see it, I mean see how it looks on skin, not just in the books they have. A good way is, if you see someone with a tatoo that looks very nice, ask them where they got it (most will be more than willing to talk about it). That way, you can get an idea of who does nice work in your area. As a tatoo is going to be permanent, you're going to want as good a tatoo artist as you can get.

Oh, well that goes without saying.
My aunt is actually close friends with a tatoo artist. She runs a shop called "Ink and You" and she's supposed to be very good. Like award winning good.
I saw a picture of what she considers a good job once, it was a bit of Van Gogh's "Starry Night" on a guy's lower back, but it was faded in and out such that it looked like the painting was threaded through the guy's skin. Very cool.
