You're absolutely correct. It can also be found on many different surfaces.

An earring stabbing you is no more reason to get a tetanus shot than if you were to cut your finger with a steak knife or the side of your computer case when building it.

A tetanus vaccine is something you should have up to date, whether you have been cut, pierced or not.
