As Salaamu 'aleykum
Body piercing, as currently practiced, is Munkar, not Ma’roof. Just look at the kind of people who indulge in it.
For girls, minimal piercing like ear and nose will be acceptable. But even while considering this minimal piercing, the Islamic principles of maintaining the body as given, principle of cleanliness and purity (tahaarah) and principle of hayaa (modesty) must be observed; parents’ and spouse’s opinion must be respected. Another important thing to remember is that one should not make a decision about their body that may not be easily reversible and that they may regret in future.
"And surely I will lead them astray, and surely I will create in them (vain) desires, and surely I will command them to slit the ears of cattle, and surely I will command them to change Allah's creation." Therefore whoso takes Shaytan as his guardian besides Allah indeed suffers a manifest loss. (An Nisa 4:119)
I hope this is good enough.
