Nose Ring Dilemma

Post Reply New Topic

I say go ahead and do it. If you find you don't like it, you can always remove it.

Yes it attracts boogers, mine does NOT obstruct airflow. I would not get it done if you are not pretty sure you will keep it. While the inside closes up very quickly the outside does not. Looks like a giant zit scar or blackhead. I take mine out every day to clean it. More often if I have a cold or allergies are acting up. Another pain in the beginning because you should leave it alone then. I can blow my nose just fine with the kind I have. There are other ones that didn't work for me, that was one of the reasons.

There are risks and downsides (pain among others). If you are wavering you can always just wait and talk to people in person to get first hand info. Or just wait to see if you still care in a few months.

Also considering the innumerable piercings of some people I know this strikes me as a bit of a molehill, at least in the wider perspective of these things. My friend who gave me the snakebite ideas works in govt. funded physics.

I have 7 ear piercings with some crazy studs in them (I make my own jewellery out of electronic bits and bobs like resistors). I also have tattoos, some are related to chemistry because I'm a lab worker. Some guys have told me the like them, some guys don't, some guys say they'd rather me without them but they aren't too bad.....I guess it's up to the person? I find I get the most criticism from other women about things like this, especially cause I don't wear makeup.

Sounds like its more of a taboo issue in the midwest maybe? I've heard people that got tattoos at work environments where they were frowned upon, kept them hidden and slowly revealed them over time. Just to fly under the radar until they felt the boss wouldn't notice.
There are those nose studs that are practically microscopic. You could start with a small one then move up to a larger one in the future.

As far as nose picking, sure you want to do that in a hospital?

I'm not a fan of them but I think each person should have the rite to decide if they want to get one or not. Just because I don't like em doesn't mean some guys like from the band Nerf Herder won't like em

I've been wanting to get a monroe piercing (a small stud on the upper corner of the lip, mimicking Marilyn Monroe's iconic birthmark).

I think nose studs are cool, too. I always wanted one of those studs, but I have a rather.... prominent nose, and I don't think it would be very flattering on me.
