Should I get my nose pierced (again)

Am toying with this idea again. I had my nose pierced about 4 years ago but had such a major confidence wobble afterwards about it that it was out again within 24 hours. It was weird - I felt so self-conscious, even with DH and DDs and was dreading other people noticing/reacting to it. Although I hadn't discussed it with many people first so perhaps that was a bad approach for someone who dislikes too much attention!

However I've crossed over into 40+ territory now, I feel a bit more confident/rebellious at the moment and probably the pandemic has brought on more of a 'seize the day' mentality... plus my style has changed a bit and I think it would suit my new rock chick vibe. (That sounds so naff but can't think of a better way to describe it 😂)

Help me decide - should I try again, or will I regret it again?!

@TheBodyPiercer

Do it. In my experience nose piercings suit everyone!

Get it done with an internally threaded labret and you'll have lots of choice included delicate attachments if you want something more discreet.

Use the UKAPP website to find a good piercer in your area 😊

Thanks for the advice @TheBodyPiercer! Although I have checked the website and apparently there's only one member in the whole of Scotland?! And nowhere near where I live unfortunately... any other advice for choosing a reputable piercer?

Go for it. Had mine done at 25 and love it just as much now I'm about to turn 50 (eek!). Currently trying to decide what other parts of my ears I can get pierced.

If you're close to Edinburgh Forest are good, Skin Seamstress in Durham are also good. There should be at least a couple of UKAPP members in Scotland.

You want to avoid anyone who uses a gun for anything, someone with a good range of internally threaded or threadless jewellery.

The UKAPP website does have advice in what to look for in a good piercer 😊
