Hello.
Thank you for your question at hcm.
No thinking about calcium loss piercing will not accentuate it. But piercing has other side effects like,it may cause infections,drooling of saliva,inadequate function of tongue,chipping of teeth due to continuous abrasion. You can visit American dental association www.ada.org for further information on adverse effect of piercing. ADA strongly discourages piercing.
So advice not to go for piercing from my side.
On the other hand about cracked tooth I would say go for laminates on those teeth. You can go for zirconia or other porcelain veener crowns.it will protect your teeth from further calcium loss as well as will give you good appearance.

Wish you good health.
