Would getting a nose piercing be an odd choice?

Not necessarily 'am I too old' for one but more Would you find it odd if you knew me and I got one?

Im 24, married and mother of one (hopefully another soon).
I've always wanted a nose piercing but never got one. I know it would look nice as there is a picture of me where my sunglasses reflected on my nose and looked like a hoop and everyone said how nice it looked (before I corrected them that it was a shadow!)
My question is, would it be weird to get one? Would you think 'she's struggling with life' if you knew me and I got one? I really want one (obviously post lockdown). I feel like I'll regret it when I'm even older and don't ever do it... Which is silly,, it's just a nose ring!

You're 24, do it! I wouldn't find it odd at all. I certainly wouldn't think you were 'struggling with life', I'd think you liked the look of a nose piercing and got one.

There are lots of fake nose rings available very cheaply i was looking at them yesterday maybe get one of those to see what it looks like before committing to a real piercing.

Do it. Definitely don't wait until you're older. I wouldn't think you were too old any time really but I think mine suited me better when my face was younger!

Would getting a nose piercing be an odd choice?
Yes if you didn't want one.
No if you do want one.

It's weird you've thought that someone would think "she's struggling with life" about a piercing. Is this how you judge people?

Life is short. If you want a nose piercing just go and get one. Wear it with pride.

No, I wouldn't think twice. I have a nose piercing and many others. I'm nearly 30.

I'm 39, childless and have mine done. I've had it done 3 times over the last 20yrs,but kept getting jobs where they weren't acceptable. I no longer care.

My friend who's 44 just got hers done, it looks nice.

I'm a 47 year old professor and I have one. I really don't see how a bunch of strangers on the internet can tell you whether people who know you would think it was odd if you got your nose pierced, or, to be honest what your marital status and how many children you have are relevant to what is essentially a pretty mainstream type of jewellery.

I really think you’re overthinking this

No I got mine done at a similar age and still have it now ( small hoop) I’ll likely never take it out tbh

I got my nose and tragus done on my 29th birthday, 3 years ago and I still have them and love them. My nose piercing won't come out now anyway but I have a tiny plain ball stud in, a hoop never suited me as I couldn't find one small enough. Had my nose done twice in my teens too. Go for it!

I was 32 when I got my nose pierced, at no point did I give any thought to what other people would think!

No it wouldn’t be an odd choice. I would like mine done but hate my nose so that would be an odd choice.

Seriously, I always wanted cartilage piercings since I was a teenager but was scared of the prospect. I plucked up the courage a few years ago and have 3 now and want another. I’m late 30s, I think it’s really mainstream now, loads of people of all ages getting them. Go for it.

Erm. 'Struggling with life' needs to be explained, it's a very odd thing to say.

I got mine redone when I was 35. I had it on and off since I was 18.

I've got multiple piercings in my ears, and my nose pierced - all done in my late teens. Then 3 years ago, at the age of 41, I got a Monroe. So no, you're not too old!

struggling with life 😂😂

my mum had hers done at fifty-something. go for it (in a shop. post lockdown. don't go for it with a needle and ice cube)

If you want it get it, I’m 32 (and male) and I’ve had a thin nose ring for ages, looks good.

I has mine done for my 30th and I got a second done soon after, same nostril. I love it.

I don’t think it is an age thing, but more a nose shape thing. Pointy or big noses look awful with piercings.

Do it! I'm 24 and I have two, one on each side. I had the first when I was 16 and second at 19. I'm concerned that you think a nose piercing would make someone appear as though they're struggling with life, I really don't understand the connection there

Ah do it! I'm 26, expecting my first, and I have 2 nostril piercings (same side) and 10 pairs of gold rings in my ears...It's just a nose piercing! if you don't like it you can take it out.

Honestly loads of people never even notice that I have 1 let alone 2 so there's a good chance people might not spot it!

@raspberryk I ADORE my 2 same nostril piercing! Even when I just have little studs in. Aren't they great!

I want more now!

Get one! I think they look great

Had mine done for my 49th birthday and I still love it.
