Nose piercing

Is it daft of me, as a 35 year old mum of two, to want a nose piercing? I think dainty little nose rings look really lovely - on other people at least! Am I too old to be thinking of getting my first piercing since I did my ear lobes when I was 12?
Also, right or left nostril?

I think you know that no-one here is going to tell you your age is something that should prevent you.

You clearly like them, although you'll get lots of unsolicited opinions about them now.

It's your nose, do it if you want.

I had my nose pierced at 45! I wear a stud. I went to the piercing studio with my daughters and we all had them done together, no regrets.

I know it's your body and you are entitled to do as you want with it but really just why?
I try very hard but when I meet someone with a notstril ring I really can't look them in the face. Just like when I see a bull with a nostril ring. It makes me feel physically ill.
I know a nostril ring is different but just why would you want to do that?
Especially when it is a young woman with children: the thought of them pulling at their face and at the ring the vulnerability makes me feel ill.

If you want it, do it. Others' opinions (I don't like nose rings on anyone so I don't have one) are not relevant here.
