Yeah I'm neutral on nose rings (do what you want) but I find the comments about how a nose ring somehow communicates "edge" or that you're "wild" just very.... old-fashioned? It's a piercing in a not-particularly-sensitive part of your body. To me they are truly no different than ear piercings.

Like if the thing that says you are "edgy" is your tiny nose stud, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you are incredibly square!

Are a lot of people on this thread in their sixties and older, or something? Being shocked by nose rings is an attitude I expect from my 75 year-old mom, and not members of Gen X and younger.


I think DCUM runs very conservative in this respect (a lot of people from preppy families where tattoos and piercings and anything counterculture would be viewed as tacky). Thus the pearl clutchers who think nose piercings are dirty or ugly, but also the people who think they are being very transgressive with their tiny little nose stud.

I guess none of you ever worked the piercing booth at a motorcycle rally like I once did. There are definitely some "edgy" piercings out there and you nose stud is not one!

Cultural appropriation. They look great on an Indian woman, and trashy on other women.

You sound delusional. If you already have a beautiful face, marring it with an extra hole and stupid piece of jewelry greatly detracts from your facial symmetry and beauty. If you don't have a beautiful face, as I suspect with most of the women who get these things, it just makes your homeliness that much worse.


Of course, lots of guys will take that as a signal that you're "wild" (your words), i.e. promiscuous/DTF, and will just put a mental paper bag over your head anyway.


Equating an ugly, insecure woman's promiscuity with actually being "hot" or "sexy" is just pathetic.

Agree. I can't imagine a 50 year old with a nose ring, let alone 45. Gad!!

Tons? Why do you know tons of boring women, period?


Because I know tons of women and most of them are not edgy.

If you're a 19 year old trying to look edgy for other 19 year olds. If you're in your 40s they look ridiculous


Disagree. A huge ring maybe, but a tiny diamond stud that sits almost flush with the skin hardly looks 'ridiculous'. Just say you're plain and boring with no style and move on.


I think those tiny diamonds always look like whiteheads.


I think they look like an aging woman desperately clinging to youth
