Piercing at 50??

Maurice169 · 08/12/2019 20:05

Hi
I’m a 50 year old woman, 2 children. I’ve been a hairdresser for over 30 years but decided to give it up and work part time in retail, so I can spend more time with my kids. I’ve just lost a lot weight and feeling so much better. I ‘fancy doing something’ I’m thinking about an eyebrow piercing. My teenage daughter says go for it. I already have my nose pierced. Do you think I’m too old? Thanks

Yes. You’re too old by about 34 years.

BlueEyedFloozy · 08/12/2019 20:09

No, go for it if you want it. Screw what anyone else thinks!

I'm mid-30's and have suddenly decided I want a nose piercing. I mentioned it in work and someone said I was "too old" for something like that. I told them I'm just having an early mid-life crisis so fuck it :o

Never mind the piercing. How did you lose the weight?

I'm leaving teaching at 42. I am definitely planning to have all the piercings starting with re piercing my nose!!

My mil has several piercings and she's 58.

Go for it, Why do people assume you have to give up and die once you get past your 20s or 30s??

TFSRM · 08/12/2019 20:15

Go for it! I've always wanted to get my eyebrow pierced.

Hmm..

Well fuck that, if you want it pierced, do it!
Lifes too short to be worrying about what some judgy pants might think..

My friend's mum is in her 70s and she's thinking about getting a nose piercing. She's otherwise quite conservative, but very smart.
Age is a number. lt's your body. Do with it what you like!

Soontobe60 · 08/12/2019 20:17

I thought the fashion for eyebrow piercings was long gone?
But if you want one, do it! I had a tattoo for my 60th 🤣

bobstersmum · 08/12/2019 20:17

If you want to do it then you do it! Good for you, it's your body!

Wearenotyourkind · 08/12/2019 20:23

Fuck everyone else and go for it, OP. Life is too short Smile

haverhill · 08/12/2019 20:26

Good Lord, go for it. I had a tattoo at 46 and a piercing at 47. Seriously, life is wayyyy too short to not do harmless things that make you happy.

FleetwoodMacMummy · 08/12/2019 20:26

Do it! Fuck what anyone else thinks, life is far too short! Wear it with confidence and I'm sure it will look great :)

I don't think eyebrow piercings look good on anyone, but that's my issue, but I had my nose and daith done last year and I'm 46

custardbear · 08/12/2019 20:35

I'd say only do it if you're not bothered what other people think. Loads of people will judge, and have their opinion and probably talk about you behind your back. If you don't care, go for it!

Chunkers · 08/12/2019 20:38

Stick on a temporary one for a couple of days, see if you like it.

TwattingDog · 08/12/2019 20:39

If you don't do it at 50, when will you do it?

Personally, so think the eyebrow piercing looks crap on everyone So I'd pick a different place, but that's personal opinion!

vodkaredbullgirl · 08/12/2019 20:41

Go for it ignore what others think. Im 50 and still have my eye brow piercing in and also my belly button piercing. My nose not so much, only put it in if im going out for a night out.

Bunney2020 · 08/12/2019 20:44

I hate eyebrow piercings but fuck everyone but you. You like it, go get it. And if anyone say you’re too old, they’re too bitter and resentful about their own terribly boring life!

SweetAsSpice · 08/12/2019 20:46

Eyebrow piercings aren’t my cup of tea personally. But. It isn’t my body. Therefore not my choice. Go for it Grin

AdobeWanKenobi · 08/12/2019 20:46

Fuck that for a laugh.
You are never too old and life is far too short to worry what judgemental twats think.

dirtyrottenscoundrel · 08/12/2019 20:49

Well my opinion is life’s too short to walk around looking like a complete idiot.
And I’m sorry, but a 50 year old with an eyebrow piercing just looks ridiculous.

Maurice169 · 08/12/2019 20:49

Thanks for all the response!!
Yes I’m gonna do it!!

Thankfully thats just your opinion, and as you realise they are like arseholes.
You might think they look like a complete idiot, whereas most people are too busy with their own lives to worry and judge over what someone else choses.

Around 38 I started piercing body parts, got my clit hood done, both nipples, nose done 3 times & my septum! Go for it! Never ever too old.
