What do you think of nose rings?

[Anonymous]

I find a dainty stud or ring looks cute.

Tattoos and nose piercings (or multiple ear piercings) signal low class.

Like it or not, the world judges your appearance, and certain things make you look trashy. If you don’t believe me, go read the multiple threads in the beauty section on how to look wealthy/upper class.

Lol no. I work for a large financial services company and most of the women in my office have more than one ear piercing, including the most senior women. Nose piercings are also not uncommon. Please join me here in the 2000s lmao.

+1. Im surprised by posters thinking it’s counterculture or aligning it with wild or brightly colored hairstyles.

I live in a college town and plenty of very basic/preppy styled young women have them. I work in a fairly conservative corporate office and, again, there are polished and accomplished young women with them. I find them as shocking as women showing their ankles at this point.

Does dcum think everyone with a tattoo is a sailor or a prisoner?

Not a sailor or a prisoner…just low class and trashy.

Of course we realize they are more popular now. We also realize the growing income inequality and standards resulting in less people with legit class.

ICYMI: just because a lot of women have tattoos, etc. doesn’t make it classy.

lol. Money does not buy class. Let me guess, you’re a sahm to a 7 figure household and you think you are the end all be all on class??

Money doesn’t buy class.

People with class recognize this.

Classy people carry themselves in a certain way. We know how to dress. We know how to style our hair. We know the importance of handwritten thank you notes. And we know that tats and nose rings are just as bad as wearing your jammies in public.

You sound very parochial.

How so?

Recognizing that money doesn’t buy class (as evidenced by the parade of new money celebs (and their products progeny) who dress inappropriately, display their wealth in rather gaudy ways, and simply don’t carry themselves with class, I’ve underscored that people raised with a certain dignity who accept mores and values established generations ago need not be affluent to be classy.

Is that what you mean by parochial?

Doubtful.

I suppose you mean that it is wrong to judge someone with a visible tattoo or nose piercing as not classy because they could actually be classy…and my parochial worldview makes me wrong. Let’s agree to disagree. The reality is certain things leave an immediate impression.

Agree. Don't find them gross, just don't find them appealing.

I take back my guess that this lady is a sahm to a wealthy man. This is a single childless sad sack who lives in a studio apartment and teaches at a private school making very little money. She spends her time seething at the new money families who she must put up with a her teaching job. She is far better and classier than them, and oh, the unfairness of it all! They have money while she has none. But luckily her “classiness” keeps her warm at night.

Bless your heart.

Perhaps we should start a new thread on what demonstrates class versus what demonstrates a lack of class?

I bet you $20 that nobody thinks tattoos or nose piercings are classy. Heck, google says such things are tacky, unprofessional, and generally disfavored.

You can have your tattoo removed, pp. Even Pete Davidson realizes how ridiculous tattoos look now that he’s older.

I’m not tattooed nor do I have a nose piercing. I just think you are ridiculous.

Women the world over have pierced noses, right from peasants to queens. It’s okay that you don’t know much outside your little sphere. I agree with that.

This “class” discussion seems gross and outdated. It sounds like you have a 100 year old perception of some fake social status which most likely only includes white Christian people. But you just keep feeling superior to the world as it passes you by.

You are correct in assuming I am passing judgment based on my perspective as a citizen of Dcumlandia. Nonetheless, I believe most western cultures have an opinion when they see a nose piercing (or tattoo, etc.).

Hey, that’s rude, I’m not a troll. I’m just tired of looking at these things. I keep coming across people in stores with nose rings so I thought I’d ask what others thought. Everyone I’ve seen wearing them are in low-level jobs though, so maybe they’ve given up on ever getting anywhere. I’m not sure why people think this is a racial thing though. Almost everyone I’ve seen wearing them was white.

Wrong.

Class has nothing to do with being wealthy or white.

And it really has nothing to do with any sort of superiority.

Are you unfamiliar with the myriad threads on dcum discussing the topic (whether in terms of attire, grooming, baby names, or very specific behavior)?

The reality is nose piercings and tattoos simply aren’t considered classy. Quite the opposite.

As an example: if Kate Middleton pierced her nose, she would quickly be called out for such a tasteless choice…and her status, wealth, and whiteness wouldn’t shield her from criticism of a trashy fashion choice.

If the OP is having some sort of midlife crisis prompting her to crowdsource whether to pierce her nose, I suggest she try something else. Or perhaps pop on a fake one (they have clip ons).

A quick google shows plenty of royalty with piercings other than a single lobe piercing including Queen rania, Queen letizia and some lower ranking members of the British royal family. Try again weirdo.
