To get a nose piercing for my 50th

[TheColourofspring]

It’s an itch I have wanted to scratch for a long time but is it too late? Half of me thinks fuck it, life is short, do it and the other half is saying it’s too late.

Aibu? Too late or fuck it?

It's the perfect time! Do it!

Of course it's not too late! Get it done and enjoy your celebrations!

No of course it's not too late! I'm mid 40s and have my nose pierced.

Go for it. I've got a new half sleeve being started for my 40th.

Do it - I had mine done last year at the age of 53. I love it

I'm late 60s and recently had mine done. No regrets. Go for it!!

Ooh great- my next question, does it hurt?!

Noooo don't do it

Mine didn't hurt but did make the eye on that side water.

@DrManhattan why?!

Why

I did mine myself (late twenties) and took it out after a month or so. Facial piercings aren't for everyone tbh

Oooh maybe. Do you have daughters who might want to copy you sooner than you want !?

It'll be very quick if done by a good professional piercer ☺️

Do it - had mine done at 42, am now 54 and it's just part of me now.

Why would you want it done?

Sorry and it's not perhaps the point, but I hate all facial piercings other than one in an ear lobe.

I don't think they flatter anyone.

My general view is that if it’s bad, I’ll just take it out! But just want to try it!!

Think it can look a bit rough.

God OP if you want it of course you should do it. You only live once. And frankly the only time you're too late to do something like this is when you're dead! Dont listen to people saying they don't like piercings, it's YOUR face. And if YOU don't like it you can always take it out.

"A bit rough"?

I think it looks pretty. There's some lovely discreet but classy jewellery out there.

Do it!
Life is too short for if only and I wish I had

It didn't hurt at all, I was quite surprised - it didn't even make my eyes water. It felt just like someone pinching my nostril, not really pain more of a sensation.

Do it! I got my done at forty, and love it.

also, people didn’t even realise they thought I had always had it done, that’s how much it suits me.

wasn’t painful either.
