Though on an Indian woman I think it looks pretty and makes sense. But indian women have been wearing them a long time. When I meet some 40-something white mom with a nise stud, it feels like she's trying to avoid looking like her mom by doing something her mom would never do.
This.
I know a white Jewish woman pushing 50 with a pierced nose (she wears a sparkly stud rather than a ring). She got it in her late 20s (her midlife crisis arrived early). Piercings were popular then, but she was the only one in our peer group to do it. She was still single and living in the city, so it wasn’t a suburban mom thing.
And while I know it’s a cultural thing for Indian women, I still think it looks cool on some women but weird on others. I think you need to have a certain vibe to pull it off as an attractive look. Honestly, it’s mostly a big distraction rather than a value add.
