To ask if mid 40’s is too old for a nose piercing?

[Everythingnotsaved]

I’m 45 - tragic mid life crisis territory or fuck it you only live once?

I think it’s a bit tragic. Mid life crisis springs to mind

@fantasmasgoria1 The old dears would love you in my village

I'm 41 and had mine re-done a couple of years ago (after not having one for about 15 years). It's quite a subtle pretty little gold one, but it never even occurred to me it'd look like a mid life crisis tbh. I'm a fairly senior HCP, I can't imagine it ever being a problem at work (though I would wear a ring)

Not sure if I clicked the right option.

Regardless you only live once. If you don't do it now you will be doing it when you are 60.

wouldn't wear a ring

Dooo it! I'm mid 30s now and still wear my monroe piercing with pride. I too am considering getting my nose done with a teeny tiny diamond stud.

I’m 43 and have considered getting my fairy pierced .
Maybe that’s a mid life crisis too !

Sorry, I do think it's a bit tragic To be honest, I'm not keen on nose piercings on younger people either so that's probably clouding my judgement.

I think any age is the wrong age for any piercing other than ears. Tacky as ... but whatever, your money etc etc.

I’m 32, can’t imagine ever not wanting to wear mine..... 🤔

Do it!
Always wanted mine done so did it.

Do it if you like but there is also the option of a ring which you can put on without needing a piercing. I quite fancy one of those.

Pah! If you were 87 my answer would be the same. You want a piercing? Go get a piercing.
There aren't many things mid forties is too old for, really. Sure, I wouldn't go clubbing now, but I never liked it that much in the first place.

Go for it. Get a pair of Dr. Marten's whilst you're at it! Late forties here and on second childhood. It's a state of mind, sod what anyone else thinks

Your nose, your choice. Go for it and enjoy it.

I don't think they look nice at any age.

My dd1 has said she's taking me to get my nose done for my 50th this year - I've always fancied it!

I have a nose stud and a very serious, responsible professional job with a lot of letters after my name.

I had mine done when I was 45. I let it heal up about 5 years later, it doesn't have to be permanent if you don't like it.

I had mine done two years ago at the age of 53 - go for it!

Had mine done at 48. Waited 31 years to get it done. Love it!

Go for it! I was relative staid at your age, just 3 earrings in each ear. Now, here I am a couple of years later, and I have 14 earrings between both ears (couple of conches, a tragus, several helixes and 4th at the bottom!). My boss (and we're both teachers - she's my line manager) asked me to take her to my piercer as she'd always wanted a nose piercing - and she's in her 50s!

As long as it's ok for your job, go for it! And, if you don't like it, you can get it taken out. But please choose an APP piercer (do your research) and get titanium jewellery with a labrett back done with a needle/canula. Definitely not a gun!

If you want it go for it and don’t give a stuff what anyone else thinks. No such thing as too old. I’m 50 and still spend my weekends in a miniskirt and DMs. Do I give a fuck? No. If it gives people something to bitch about then it’s 10 minutes they’re not bitching about somebody else.

I had mine done at 41 (first tattoo at 40! I now have 6)

For me, it was realising I had nobody to disapprove whose opinion I have cared about. My mum hated piercing and taboos but before she died she told me that life really was too short to worry about what other people think!

I like piercings on younger people but sorry I think mid 40s is a bit tragic.
