Noses as pincushions are not a good idea IMO. What happens when you sneeze or blow your nose.

It's hard to explain, but in my country the nose ring is an identifying symbol of a certain faith / culture. I suppose the closest would be something like in the US if you see a person with sidelocks and a skullcap, you would immediately recognize them to be an Othodox Jew, and one would not want to dress the same way just to make a fashion statement, but respect it as the expression of a different faith or culture. Dressing that way without adhering to the culture or the religion it represents is seen as a form of disrespect to the people following that faith, at least it is taken as such in my country.

I have a very small stud in mine.

LivinLuxuriously · Apr 7th, 2007, 05:27 PM

I have one - right nostril. White gold diamond stud - I wear it when it suits my mood. You can see it in this photo well:

The same thing that happens when YOU sneeze or blow your nose.

I had an eensy one. When I had my appendectomy the I had to take it out ... the hole closed up and I never bothered reopening. I thought it was really cute and might get another one, who knows?

My nose is not peirced, for its enough of a trademark on its own, I think. I have a very cute small nose, it's a delicate small nose the size of a button nose, but I broke it when I was nine. There wasn't anything I could do at the time, so I just left my nose alone. And to this day I am still wondering whether I should get plastic surgery on it or not to rid it of the bump on it. I often wonder how my nose would look if it looked the way its supposed to look, like the way it looked when i was born but it's still a small cute nose, and I'm afraid if I get plastic surgery on it they'll turn my nose into a huge ugly nose. I do not have it peirced because I think it draws attention to it, (its not a bad nose tho) I mean, instead of someone looking a your whole face, theyd automatically see the stud in your nose. (I do have two holes in each of my ear and I'm getting my belly button peirced, but I feel that with your belly button if you dont want it to show you can just pull your shirt down, or not wear a belly shirt, but a nose ring.....its just not me.)

No nose piercing but I did have tongue and lip piercings which are now gone.

ShimmaPuff · Aug 28th, 2007, 05:50 PM

This is an egregious bump, for reasons of sheer mischief, and because it got referenced in yet another overlong, rambling screed, to which I will have the kindness to post a link, so that after you have contemplated noseringhood, you can come discuss philosophy.

I have mine pierced as well as my labret, tounge, beauty mark, ears (2 holes)... I wear a tiny diamond stud in my nose but I have worn a ring which I really loved but decided that it just doesn't go with my style anymore. I love all my piercings and they are one of my many contradictions.

sheishollywood · Aug 28th, 2007, 06:29 PM

I have my lip but I put in a labret stud. I really like the nose stud but I am asian and have NO idea if it would look good on me...

P.S Shimma, you're writing is FABULOUS!

bagnshoofetish · Aug 28th, 2007, 06:30 PM

okay time to come clean. I had mine pierced for about 10 years. little diamond stud. I just got tired of it.

Shimma, I am considering compiling your posts and submitting them to Reader's Digest. Really. Your usage of words is melodic.
