Am I too old......

[fedupandfifty]

......to get my nose pierced? I'm 54. Been dying to for years but never have because of work. Should I?

[SundaySimmons]

I think it looks horrible.

My teenage daughter has a few piercings and I would never have a facial piercing.

But if it's something you really want, then do it as long as it doesn't affect your job prospects. Nose piercings are pretty tame in comparison to other piercings.

My daughter has the side of her nose pierced and under her nose, like a bull.

She does all her piercings herself but I strongly suggest you get them done professionally to minimise any chance of infection.

You can get magnetic studs or clip on rings for cheap off ebay/amazon, why not try one out before you go for it for real?

[tonyblairsreallygoodlegsnbutt]

Why not if you like it? I know lots of women who have a small stud in one nostril. Looks quite nice imo.

I would say do it. I had one in my twenties and loved it.
Age is nothing but a number.

[CuttedUpGrape]

go for it! after all, if you end up hating it (fingers crossed you won't) you just take it out again.

I used to use copydex and stick a diamante on mine

[AndTwoBits]

No you are never too old! If you have been wanting to do this for years then you should definitely do it!

[OneLittleLady]

If you really want it, go for it. Age is irrelevant.

[FracturedViewOfLife]

Go for it.

I had lots of piercings and don't regret any of them. They have all been removed now. If you hate it you can take it out.

[FracturedViewOfLife]

Oh meant to say that no, you are definitely not too old.

[TheFarSide]

Do it. I'm 51 and secretly hankering after a tattoo.

[Blaineisnotanappliance]

I had one when I was 18 but mine kept falling out all the time as I have a greasy t-zone. Of course you are not too old-in your prime woman! I really want either another tattoo or a labia piercing but think dh would not be impressed.

[KimSlazinger]

Defo wouldn't let age stop you. Find joy in the little things wherever you can. If this would make you smile, do it!

[Joey8]

Go for it, I agree age is just a number!

I used to have my nose pierced until it fell out whilst I was sleeping. Totally healed overnight. I didn't feel like getting it re-pierced :-/

Especially as when I had it done, the guy used a 'gun' to do it rather than a needle which I hear is the correct method? Don't feel like risking the structure of my nose any further!

[squoosh]

Personally I don't like nose piercings, I always think they look like a spot.

But I don't think you're too old for one. Honestly, ignore the rules.

[DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen]

Do it!

My mum's about to get hers done and she's 66, it'll look lovely on her too.
