[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40 and have had a septum ring since I was 16.  I work with 4 women who are also 30 - 50 who have nose rings  (nostril though) and no one thinks anything of it.   We are all attorneys or otherwise professionals. [/quote]

depends on where yo work. No way you are Big Law with a nose ring.  [/quote]

Are you in big law?  You may be surprised.  I've been working at large law firms for over 20 years.  Not in attorney capacity though - as secretary, admin, paralegal.  During that time I've had a mohawk, lip and nose piercings, full sleeves (tattoos), etc.  Many attorneys I've worked with have had sleeves, piercings, etc.  The head of our litigation group has a nose ring and eyebrow piercing.  One attorney in our Environmental group has stretched earlobes (not huge, like 0g or so), a nose ring, and dreads.  We have many staff (HR, office services, marketing, etc. with tattoos and piercings).  Also keep in mind that just because you are an attorney in a big law practice, it does not mean you go to court often.  Most law work does not entail court appearances very often at all.  You are mostly filing things online or hand delivering things, and on the rare occasions you need to make a court appearance, FCC/FTC meeting, etc. you just tone down your look.[/quote]

In your entire post you mentioned only 1 actual attorney with stretched earlobes, a nose ring and dreads who is an Environmental Attorney. In 20 years.
So that is actually good information for someone who is not in what may be an earthy, crunchy type Environmental job as an attorney that in 20 years that person is the only one who was able to pull it off as an attorney.[/quote]
