I'm A Big Fan Of The Whole Safety Pin Wearing Thing And I'd Love To Wear Them But I'm Not Sure Why People Do It. I Don't Want To Do It If It Has Some Bad Meaning To It Like "I Eat Cats" Lol.
So If Anyone Knows Could You Please Tell Me? I Wear Them And My Mom Tells Me Not To Cuz She Doesn't Know What They Mean Either.
But I Think It Has No Meaning. It's Just Part Of The Punk Fashion.

Well, the legend goes like this ...
Malcolm McLaren, who became the manager of the sex pistols, actually began as a fashion designer working with Vivienne westwood, who is still a designer. anyway, he went to new york, and the punk music scene was just starting there. One of the musicians he was really impressed by was Richard Hell (later of Television) who wore spiked dog collars, etc, and safety pinned his clothing back together when it fell apart. This was probably because he had no money to replace it, but in any case, McLaren headed back to his shop in London, and began selling ripped, safety pinned up clothes.

Punk Safety Pins

Part of the punk look is to make your clothes look cheap. Safety pinning them back together would be alot cheaper and easier than say sewing them or buying new clothes. It doesn't really mean anything special.

In eighth grade, some "safety-pin-wearing-punks" used them to pierce one of their eyebrows in English class. I guess that's what they could be used for.
