You can stream Snakes and Earrings (2008) on Amazon Prime with a subscription.

While alone in a nightclub, straight-laced Lui meets sensitive but troubled punk kid Ama. Mesmerized by his split tongue, she becomes obsessed with body modification and soon wants the same treatment. After Ama's heavily-tattooed friend Shiba pierces her tongue, Lui finds herself inexorably drawn to both men – and to her growing list of desires, she now adds a tattoo.

Neon-lit nightlife and the sting of a piercing needle create a feverish, sensory-driven atmosphere of obsession. This provocative dive into body modification follows a quiet woman as she trades her conventional life for the visceral thrill of skin and ink.
