The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

To me, that kind of visible, in-your-face piercing (so to speak) means I consider the wearer to be a kid and don't take them seriously with regard to anything work-related. If you're in the music biz or otherwise don't care about advancing in the business world, do what spork said and get it if you like it. If you have intentions of advancing your career or generally being taken seriously by others who are not into body modification, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you get it.
 
I honestly can't remember seeing that kind of piercing on a guy. I know I must have at some point but I can't remember it.

Personally I think that eyebrow piercings are hot on men. That would probably be the only piercing I'm actually a fan of, otherwise I'm not really into it at all. I had my own nose pierced for a while and it caused more problems than it was worth. You'll probably get rid of it when you get your next cold.

So i have been wanting to get a nose ring for some time now and think im gonna do it regardless of what people have to say, but iam curious as to what the kind people here at bluelight have to say about male nose rings.

A couple of my friends say it would look good, a couple say it would look bad. Its either gonna be a tattoo or a piercing, id rather do the piercing as it would be much easier to get rid of in the future if i wanted to, which im sure i will like other piercings i have had in the past.

So yea, looking for opinions from both males and females.

Honestly, the first thing I think when I see very visible nose piercing(s) on anyone is "douchebag".

But life is about making yourself happy, it doesn't matter what other people think.

the first think i think when i see nose piercings half the time, especially with studs is "zit"

if it is a ring i usually think "gay" which in no way is a negative thing, its just a thought that crosses my mind. i realize it is stereotypical, but its like seeing a beautiful girl and your jaw dropping, its just a natural reaction that cannot really be helped.

just thought id put my 2 cents in
 
i got a black nose ring a few months ago (im a guy) as a bit of a joke one day, and i cant bring myself to take it out - i think i may have begun to like it!
 
if its in the left nostril you are straight
if its in the right nostril you will be visited by three ghosts and a poultrygeist

I like them. I like body decoration though in general.
 
I don't like them, cuz I hatehatehate seeing stuff up peoples nose, and piercing studs count. It grosses me out. ~BUT~ if you like the look, then do it. It isn't permanent, and you should be getting it because you want it, not because other people want you to get it done. I took tons of shit from family and friends when I got my tongue (and later my lip) pierced, but years later I still have them both cuz I like them. no other reason :)

i believe the saying is "left is right right is wrong?" am i right?

either way even if i see a guy who can pull it off, i still immediately have the reaction of "gay" in my head
 
All I really think looks good on a guy is a left ear piercing. If you do get a nose piercing tho, I'd go for the middle rather than one or the other nostril (too feminine IMO).

For ears, yes... not sure there's any such standard for the nose tho.
 
i'm not a big supporter of jewelry on men in any form. seems whack to me, but its your life.

Are you gay? If so, go for it.

Why does a guy with a nose-ring equal gay? I'm not gay and have a nose-ring...to be honest, I had never heard that particular stereotype before. I think nose-rings look good on guys and gals. I fail to see how it is a symbol of homosexuality, but then I get a fair few guys coming onto me so hmmm.... I'm sorry, but its rather sad if a simply hoop of metal through the nose automatically means I am being judged as something I'm not really, and I also find it sad that it seems that people associate being gay with something unfavorable, thus the 'warnings' in this thread. But, any judgers, besides on aesthetics, I guess can go get fucked :)

Does the picture of my nosering look disgusting? :( %) :p ;)
 
I think that it looks stupid, is an incredible waste of money, is pretentious, and is in poor taste. :)
 
Nose rings look weird on almost anyone, male or female. Although there are some really good looking freaky girls that can pull it off. Not a single guy I have seen can pull off a nose ring - it always looks really awkward, and is a good source for jokes.
