The SO Piercing Questions & Discussion Mega-Thread

I think they look very feminine.

If a passed a guy on the street with a nose ring I would think he prefers the touch of a man.

Unless you're going for that obvious "look at me - I'm gay" look.

Thats just my .02 USD.
 
Man...so much for being open-minded....

[SA edit: be nice] If you like it, do it. But you gotta be 100% sure. If not then the nay-sayers will eat you up and spit you out for being a poser. It's all about self confidence.

I think that it looks stupid, is an incredible waste of money, is pretentious, and is in poor taste. :)

You should try to explain your increasingly irritating comments instead of just posting crud and then moving on.

I can't believe how narrow minded the majority of people here seem to be. 8o Well, I can but seriously, its weird.

BTW, my piercing was free courtesy of a fine splinter of metal. Really set me back a lot.
 
It's not like a tattoo where it's hard to cover up or can't be taken out. You're the one who decides how permanent a piercing is. I would never get one because I don't think it would look good on me and I got over the facial piercings a few years ago. That's just me though and I'm also a female, but whatever.

It should be up to the person who gets it and no one else really. If you care so much about what people think of you because of a nose piercing, then maybe it really isn't right for you.
 
My girlfriend has had her nose pierced multiple times and you can't tell anymore. No scars at all. Same with her eyebrows. Luckily the nipple rings are still in.

Peace,

I also don't like peas, listening to anything arabic, and rottweilers.

Does that make me close minded too?

Perhaps some are, but there's a difference between that and simply feeling they look bad or feminine. It's purely a matter of taste, and fwiw I fall mostly into the latter camp. Sorry, if it's a personal matter to you I apologize, but keep in mind that people can't help their aesthetic sensibilities.
 
I removed a couple of posts, if anyone is looking. Let's tone this down a notch, please. Opinions are acceptable, as long as they don't get personal. Opinions should also be accepted as opinions and should not be taken personally, if can be helped.
 
REPOST hahah

im going to get the piercing, and im comfortable with my heterosexual status so feel free to see me as gay if you pass my way
 
think i'm gonna get a toothpick through mine:

i think its stupid that you guys ask our opinion, and when we diagree were all of a sudden closed-minded...
yea, i dont like it, you asked, i told you; i told you the exact thoughts that go through my head when i see a guy with a nose ring

and swilow: your nose ring does not look bad, matter of fact you pull it off quite well, but like i said before as soon as i saw it i figured you were gay. dont ask my why. something about the curve of it i suppose, but i dont think that makes me closed minded. its just a primitive reaction
 
I got mine done when i was 18 as a stupid kid/rebellious thing. I stopped were stuff in it a long time ago, but the hole is still there, it never grows back over like ears do.

And anyone that says it doesn't hurt like hell is lying. It is sore for like a month afterward too.

edit - i'm talking about a septum piercing.

That explains a bit then ;) This is weird, I think it may be a US thing or something....At least, in Australia nose-rings are normally associated with bums or hippies or punks or or ferals or dumpster-divers, whatever. Tha main thing assumed about me, I think, is that I take drugs....

No need to apologize, I just sincerely find this thread weird. I just haven't heard this stereotype, so it does lead me to assume people are being narrow-minded on this partciaular subject; but I haven't intended to offend or be rude :). When I got my piercing I was mindful of the 'feminity' of it, but that was more prevalent I think when it was a little flashing stud. Big hooop doesn't seem the same....all aethestics I guess.

What about tongue rings for guys?
 
to paraphrase chris rock =

"if a girl has a tongue ring... she will suck your dick."

"if a guy has a tongue ring... he will suck your dick."

No, he definately looks like he takes it in the butt. Lenny kravitz is a lame ass wannabe rockstar who plays shitty pop rock and dresses like a woman who reads too much vogue told him what to wear, so no he definately aint pullin it off, and that stud in one ear ring in the other shit looks kinda ...weird too.....Your submitted evidence is rejected. ;)


Anyways, i think in the US the connotation of a nose piercing on a dude is that its gay but maybe not in other countries and that explains it. Iunno. it just seems like that. I dont know why it looked good on Pac but pretty much anything did, but I never seen another dude with it that I could honestly say wouldnt look better if he had took it out, you feel me?
