Nose rings, bull style, are they part of a named style now?

Depends. Nose rings might be cultural in some places, but in many it is a statement. As to earrings, they are pervasive across many groups and are not com probably to nose rings.

Though with the exception of those ear gauge things, which would take plastic surgery to repair, piercings are a fairly easy style to decide to change. Unlike highly visible tattoos.
Am struggling now with whether or not to hire a 24 yo who is well spoken, organized and responsive, but who has both multiple face piercings and neck tattoos. It's for a job that requires her to be the "face" of the business and the first person with whom people would interact. Was she not so "adorned", or if it was more of a back office position, I would not have a second thought, but I am hesitating.

No way as the first person they come in contact with until it's a tattoo place, hair salon, or the like. If it's a business, even tech, no way. It is sending a certain message about how you run your business, and unless you cater to young alternative types, not a good look.

Rather them with the a unique look than you with a effed up attitude.

My immunologist has a septum piercing. My gynecologist has tattoos and lavender hair. Both make more than I as a teacher ever will.

I just find it so distracting. Lip rings as well.

Yes, I believe it is called the full Ferdinand..... after the chiildren's book about Ferdinand the Bull.

MyDD got one when she was in college. I think it was a bit of a slam on the conformity of the kids in her high school… she told me she was wearing one (as well as some addl piercings and hair colors) while young and in college. Sure enough, when she graduated she removed the septum ring and got a job.

Is she otherwise? What are the demographics of people in the office and customers? How many of the piercings are removable? Do you have a clear policy on body jewelry?

My boyfriend has a septum piercing but not bull ring. I dislike it but keep it to myself.

I don’t really like septum piercings but it seems like one of the most easily reversible bad decisions a young person could make.

My daughter got a septum piercing at 17 and was done with it by 19. I suppose there might be a tiny scar if you go poking around up her nose? I don't see what the big deal is.

They are a major red-flag.

Warn your kids to stay away from these people.

This^. If kid wants an ear gauge or face tattoo, negotiate it down to a nose piercing or an ankle tattoo.
