Body Piercing

Annabellethecat66 · ‎03-12-2010

I recently watched an episode of Dr. Pimple Popper. There was a lovely young girl on there who'd had her ear cartlidge pierced. It was done on both ears.

In the place where the ears had been pierced hard pieces (in points) had grown out of the ear.

They were hard and came to a point (think Star Trek and Leonard Nimoy as Spock):

They weren't as large as his but otherwise came to a point right on the top of the ear.

The Dr said sometimes when cartlidge is damaged (as a piercing) the cartlidge hardens and is disfigured. That was the case with this girl.

Lately, I've seen people getting piercings on the nose (between the nostrils).

I'm sorry, but the first thing I think about is a bull. Why in the world would a person (especially a female) get her nose pierced like that with a ring in it.

I'm seeing this more and more.

This is my opinion. I'm sure there are people who ....(I guess) think it looks good...but it's dangerous.

I don't get it either. All I can think about is a small child grabbing it and yanking. God that would hurt.

How do they blow their nose?

You don’t have to get it.

Every generation seems to have their form of self expression, I pierced my ears when I was 15 and it was really no big deal to me, but my Mom hated it. I think if piercing the nose, nipple or anywhere else would have been popular in the 60's and I pierced those areas, she would have had a stroke. My husband thinks body piercing and tattoo's are a form of self mutilation. I had my head in the oven for 3 months when my son had his arms tattooed, but I got over it.

Thank you how many times is somebody going to start this hand wringing? Unless it's your minor child, they don't require your approval or permission.

I have 1 nostril piercing. Used a self piercer purchased from a jewelry store at the ripe old age of 15. I am currently in my 69th yr.

Back then I wore a gold hoop. As for blowing the nose, you do it the normal way. The hoop did not interfere.

After I got my first "real" job (FEDS), I alternated between small flat diamond & small gold studs. During the job interview, I wore my diamond stud.

Currently, no hoop. Home - gold stud. Out & about - diamond stud.

Know I am going to get a lot of unhappy responses, but I don't like face piercings.

My lovely niece, a doctor and 37 year old woman, has a stud piercing on the side of her nose.

Last time I saw her, she asked if it was time to take it out.

My immediate thought was "yes please ".

However, she likes it and I would never willingly hurt her feelings.

I told her no, It is fine. Truly it is because it is her choice and I believe we can do what we wish.

When I see one of those nose rings my first thought is that they have a booger hanging out. I see them more on females. A couple of seasons ago on Project Runway there were twins who had them and even after a few shows knowing they were nose rings I still kept thinking they looked like boogers. A tiny ring on the side of the nostril doesn't make me think of that, just the ones hanging down above the lip.
