Nose piercing- too old ?

[Polkapjs]

I’m 43. Always always wanted it - should I?
I’m contemplating new pixie hair cut too (see other thread). Will it age me or define me?

Do it! Never too old.

Never too old! I re-did mine at 45 and love it!!

I'm 52 and I'd love to have mine done but I have the wrong shape of nostrils

What’s the wrong shape of nostril??

There no such thing as too old in things like this. It just doesn’t exist. Now get yourself down to a reputable body piercers and get it done!

My very elegant (I think) nose is quite long as are my nostrils.
Wherever a stud would go would look wring.
I used to glue little diamante studs on with nail glue when I was a teenager

DD had her cartilidge pierced , the pierced showed me where a stud would go on my nose but none of the positions looked 'right'

Actually , there's a really good Tattoo/Piercing salon near me , they do sessions with students , I could book myself in for one ..............

My worry would be knocking it,

Lol I have a pixie, pierced nose/helix and tattoos- the latter 2 just in the past couple of years. I'm 47 and just had my pixie bleached...never too old to experiment-in fact it gets easier. I'm poppysstyle on ig if you're interested. Think about amazing women like vivienne Westwood who dresses for her regardless of age xxx

Just back from having helix pierced. Baby steps...

Hair is next week. I got it wrong...

If you’ve had been he helix done, your nose will be great (and apparently heal faster!).

I’m 42 and have had 3 new piercings in tge last 2 years (all in my ears) I love them.

I panicked when the guy said I might faint but it was fine. Sore when I lean on it so sleep might be difficult but I feel empowered

Ah go you OP!
Bloody go you!!

Thank you

Yay! There'll be no stopping you now. Your nostril will be a doddle after a helix - it just makes your eyes water a little. Helix piercings take forever to heal so be patient with it. Good for you!!

I'm 55 - I had my nose pierced around 20 years ago, it's my favourite piercing. I had a helix recently, it is taking ages to heal.

toesinwater I adore mine too - it's never going anywhere! Xx

I'm 45 and have had my nose pierced for 25 years 🤘

Go for it, I’d love this but i work in a very formal environment where it’s not really acceptable.

That’s my other worry actually. Work...not sure how it would go down!

By the way - I can slide the new helix back and forth- did it by accident - is that ok??!

I wouldn't wiggle it about too much, the more you leave it the quicker it will heal. I had my nose done and have no regrets (I am 41) it hurts more the older you are though because the cartilage in your body hardens so be warned.

Had mine done for my 48th birthday I love it. As for your helix, leave it alone!

Go for it! I'm 50 and still loving mine, which I had done at 32.

Is it your forward helix OP? Share a photo 🙂!

I've got a bleached pixie cut. I love it. Do try it - if you don't like it, you can always grow it out.
