I think they look bloody awful on anyone. I used to have one and it has left a scar on the side of my nose, which will never go away sadly.

saturning · 27/06/2021 17:51

depends on his overall look. in principle, its fine, not like a tattoo thats difficult to remove.

Did he get it done?

Thatsjustwhatithink · 27/06/2021 18:20

OP....does your son have a say on what you put on or in your body?

If he doesn't get an opinion on..say..what contraception you use for you vagina...I'd probably stay out of his nose.

If he does have any say on your vagina I want nothing more to do with this ever.

As long as he’s only piercing his own nose and not yours too I really don’t see how it’s your business. I couldn’t give a crap if my kids do this type of thing as long as it was done safely by someone who knows what they’re doing.

It definitely depends on the person's overall look and lifestyle, If they are very "conventional" it might look odd with a suit and short back and sides in the office, if however they are say in a more artistic job, like to dress unusually etc it can look good. It's up to anyone to make their own choice what they get pierced anyway, regardless of their style.

Not naff

@DrinkFeckArseGirls

I mean the snot must stay on the part of the ring inside the nostril 🤢
It doesn't. You blow your nose quite normally and the products leave your nostril as usual.

Nose rings are a good thing, all piercings/tattoos are. Let people be themselves, there's no need to police identity.

I think they look daft on everyone, but I doubt my opinion matters to him Grin

Majorfluff · 27/06/2021 19:18

Yes, look awful and chavy on anyone.

toconclude · 27/06/2021 19:51

@Midnightballerina

They look awful on everyone but what can you do?.
Wrong
LexMitior · 27/06/2021 19:54

Naff on everyone but people are free to look as they please -you don't have to like it.

Chunkymenrock · 27/06/2021 21:22

So...did he have it done OP???

LakeEkal · 27/06/2021 22:37

Did he have the piercing, OP?

Chunkymenrock · 27/06/2021 22:43

Calling OP......Hmm

Clappingforjoy · 28/06/2021 14:54

Hi sorry for delay. He didn't get it done as he is meant to be going away end of July and he was advised that it has to kept dry for around 8 weeks.

I think they're horrible on everyone, but that's my view an others are entitled to a different one.

At 20 he can do what he likes and at least it will close up when he gets fed up of it.

I can't imagine his mum telling him it's naff will change his mind.

pinkyredrose · 28/06/2021 17:08

Dry for 8 weeks?

skybluee · 28/06/2021 18:29

I'm not keen on them but to each his own.

At least it's temporary if he wants it to be.

Hope he likes it eventually.

More like he was worried about being judged by his mum
Clappingforjoy · 28/06/2021 19:37

Okay I will keep my nose out of it Grin

They're revolting and I see nothing wrong with you telling him that bluntly. Of course it's his decision but I doubt the world will stop turning because a mum tells her offspring that they don't like a particular look

Revolting 😂😂

I think it depends on the person. I think my DP would look ridiculous with one but my two tattooed brothers in their twenties look great with theirs!
