Am I too old to get my nose pierced?

[MrsSimonNeil]

I'm 36, dress fairly young for my age. Can i get away with it or will people think I'm having a crisis?

No! Go for it.

I've had a nose ring since I was 15, I love it. Plus it isn't permanent so you can take it out whenever you like.

I think I'd think you were having a "shit, I'm nearly 40!" crisis. Sorry.

I've had mine pierced since I was 13 I'm now 34 (nearly 35) and have a small diamond stud in.

Got mine done on my 32nd birthday.... no one commented and I love it!

Never too old in my opinion! Go for it

Go for it. I loved mine. But had to take it out for work. Stupid nurse rules. I looked good.

I don't see this sort of thing as being related to age. I think some people have the personalities to carry off piercings, tattoos and funky hair colours. I don't think that needs to stop at a certain age.

I would have felt as uncomfortable with it as a teen as I would do now, in my late forties, but I am very shy and just not the type. Secretly envious of the confidence others seem to have though.

So if you feel up for it, why not?

Thanks everyone. I've wanted it done for a long time and haven't had the guts to go for it. I guess I am having a 'I'm nearly 40' thing going on but oh well

Ewww no

I have my nose pierced and I'm 40 go for it

Do it! I've had mine in since I was 16 and I'm 27 now. I have no intention of taking it out when I'm in my thirties!

Nope. I'm 36 and wear mine every day. I had it done when I was 19 but I certainly don't think I'm too old for it.

Just do it... and don't care what others think especially here

And if you don't like it then take it out!

Life is too short

I'm 46 and had mine done recently. I pulled it out accidently and am just waiting for the scar tissue to go down, then I'm having it redone. I bloody loved it and can't wait to have it redone. Who gives a shit what other people think? If you want it done, do it.

Hey OP, I am not thread stealing, but I keep thinking the same about a tattoo, and I am 44.

Not a massive, huge one covering my arm or anything, but something small, discreet and meaningful to me.

Then I think 'FFS, you are 44'!!

No go for it. I'm roughly the same age and would love to get it done only I get cold sores up my nose so probably not the best idea.

I've had to stick with various other piercings instead

Have to say i don't think they're nice either on older women .... But not that keen on young women either lol

Maybe I'm just a bit boring!! I hate tattoos too lol

Go for it, but do make sure it suits you first as it doesn't look great on everyone.

I finally got mine done after years of waiting - I was 34. Sadly it really didn't suit me, whether it was the shape of my face or nose, I don't know. I ended up taking it out after a few months .

Definitely boring Flumpy

Septum piercings are bang on trend at the moment and you can tuck it up for work etc. I've got mine done and I wear a really thin gold hoop in it

Imagine you are 80 and looking back. 36 will seem like a young whippersnapper!

If you don't do it because you think you are too old, you may look back and think "but couldn't I see how young I was still?!"

You only live once! and if you please all of the people all of the time you're doing something wrong IMO! Fuck 'em if they think you're having a crisis!

Do it! I'm 37 and i've had mine for about 15 years. I love it :)

Also, i'm quite shy and introverted and i definitely don't have that quirky, confident thing going on. I don't think you necessarily need that to pull it off. Mine is a tiny gold stud, very discreet. It suits me. And most people never even notice it or comment tbh.

Well I think the consensus is that I should go for it. My dh and 12 yo dd thought I should too so why the hell not. I might have to hide from my dad though if I'd had it done years ago I wouldn't be bothered about still having it in, it's more getting it done now at my age.

needsstrongone I'd also like a small discreet tattoo, one thing at a time though or it will definitely look like I'm having a crisis

Lol needs a strong one
