Septum rings are ugly

[Number_35]

Not a fan. I always imagine it getting caught on stuff or filled with boogers. Ugh

Twenty years ago a bunch of us were doing a roof for an older Dutch couple from church. At the end of the day, the wife of one of the guys showed up to pick her husband up. She had just gotten a stud in her nose.

The lady of the house was delightful, and had a fairly porous filter, thus:

Mrs. O: "Oh, Hedder, I see you got one of dem t'ings in your nose."

H: "Yes, it helps me express who I am."

Mrs. O: "Yah, dat's nice, but don't your boogers get caught on it?"

That belongs in a field.

imagine raging over a piercing LOL, I guess the silver lining is that someone in their 20s probably couldnt give less of a **** about what someone 2-3x their age thinks about their aesthetic choice

Who’s raging?

And in actuality more young men these days think conservatively about women and relationships than the older generations that were brain washed by feminism.
They don’t put up with this kind of stuff from women and they make it known instead of pretending they like it.

 

[Adkcedarman]

Pretty handy if you ask me. If you can control a bull or a pig with a nose ring, a woman is a piece of cake.

Except the kind of woman that wears them is the kind who wants to prove that statement wrong! Lol

Another one I can never get along with is people piercing the ears of babies. I guess that may be a thing with certain cultures, but not here in America. It's a parent thing where they think their baby is "cool" with a stud in their ear. I don't think so...

Right! Let the child decide, when they are old enough.

I worked as a C/O (Corrections Officer) and always found it odd that heavily tattooed guys (and gals) in jail were shocked they got caught?? You have very distinct tattoos on your face / hands / arms etc... With everything being videoed it's almost like shooting fish in a barrel sometimes. Surrounding departments would submit a pic and we'd have guys that could tell you who that person was just by a pic of their hand. Don't get tattoos and drive a beige Camry if you want to be invisible. I agree with the piercing, just because you can, doesn't mean you should.

To me, it looks like a runny nose. Especially gross when one’s waitress is wearing one.

Right, and Im sure the girls getting them are absolutely distraught that a young man who 'wouldnt put up with it' are steering clear

 

[dubber09]

I never met a smart girl with a nose ring, may be just my luck

 

[fat biker]

I have come to appreciate facial piercings and obvious tatoos on women.
Not because I like them.
It is a big, nothing to see here flag.

 

[Mr.GTRSpecV]

It works for some guys, not for others. When I was on the market looking for my wife, any woman that had this going on, with a few other things on my list, were a big no.

To each their own.

 

[Tempest1]

It's great when they put their red flags right up front, for the world to see...

They will be, once they're in their 30s and want to settle down, only to find out no successful man wants a tattooed up and pierced woman as his wife and mother of his children. Just like no woman wants a guy with no job. Except a guy can always get a job, but tattoos and scars from weird piercings stay forever.

 

[RoadDukie]

Well, once they get the nose ring, they can't take them out.

If they did, they're face would whistle when they ride a bike!

 

[Propflux01]

Makes me want to go out and get a 9V battery……

 

[SShooterZ]

Meh, take it or leave it. Not my thing, but doesn't bother me either.

Shocked that many still haven't learned to judge people "by the content of their character", as referenced by the late Dr. Martin Luther King. I know some real dirtbags that look like choirboys and some amazing people that would give you the shirt off their back with tattoos and piercings all over their bodies.

Don't get tattoos and drive a beige Camry if you want to be invisible.

A friend of mine was a heavy drinker and barfly. He always dressed in nice slacks and a jacket or a suit and drove big American sedans. He swore that his interactions with law enforcement always went better because he appeared to be a "solid citizen"

 

[JavierH19]

Do y'all's wives / girlfriends know how you think and talk about women?

My wife calls these young tattooed nose ring women pinches putitas which you can look up if you so wish so I ain't worried.

 

[KrisZ]

Not sure why some find stuff like this funny. The statistics are clear, 45% of prime working-age women (ages 25 to 44) in the United States may be single and childless by 2030. These are staggering stats and the outlook does not look good for women especially, since most do have a strong desire to have a family and raise kids. Their "sunset" years will be nothing but loneliness and misery that a house full of cats cannot fulfill.

Turns out the crazy cat lady from The Simpsons was not just a character, it was a glimpse of the future.

I do not find the septum rings attractive. Depending upon size and design, they can be a bit distracting if you have to engage with the person one-on-one.

However, I don't let it bother me, either. I don't look down on people who pierce or get tattoos; I don't much care much what others do to their own bodies.

Whether or not the septum ring would cause an issue at a workplace would certainly depend on the workplace situational environment. If I saw this person working behind the counter at a StarBucks, it wouldn't phase me whatsoever; hipsters gotta be hip! But, if I saw them in a professional situation requiring formal business attire, it would give me pause ...

But life is about choices, and I support their right to look as stupid as they choose!
