it certainly sounds disgusting when written down like that. I really fancy getting my NOSE pierced. Have thought about it for years but never got round to it. Unreasonable? Mid-life crisis?

I had my first tattoo at 40. Embrace your mid-life crisis! I did. Grin

Do it! Absolutely. You've been thinking about it for years FGS. If you hate it after a while, take it out again :)

Hooray! Come back afterwards and tell us how pleased you are with it!

It bloody hurts though!!! Didn't suit me sadly, made my large nose look even larger! Definitely do it, it heals over if you don't like it!!

Just had my nipple done at 37. 20 something years after first hankering. If it feels right, it is right.

I really want to get my nose pierced... have done for nearly 20 years but just can't get the courage up - once you have it done, can you let us know how it went?

As a teenager, I even used to wear a fake nose stud Blush It was a snake thing that wriggled down the outside of my nose and hid the fact that it then wriggled round inside my nostril and worked much like a clip on earring.

Absolutely go for it if you want! Just make sure you do your research to make sure you pick a reputable studio and follow a good aftercare routine :)

Do it. I got mine done at 16 by a friend in a nightclub Grin and I've never had an infection. Am 43 now and nose stud still going strong. Do it do it do it Grin

Well Ill be 47 in june,dd1 will be 16 3 days before my birthday, she wants surface piercings on her collar bones . I was seriously considering having 3 put down my spine on the back of my neck. I have very short hair and I reckon they will look cool ( If you can see them for the wrinkles :o ). What do you think ladies,am I too old to have piercings done at same time as my Dd?
( its either that or a new tattoo )
