What do you think of girls with septum piercings?

[Anonymous]

I recently got my septum pierced and noticed a huge change in how people treat me and perceive me.
For example I was on the tube (london subway) yesterday and a dog was looking at me, so I gave him my hand to smell and tried to pet it. The owner smiled at first, then as she looked up from my hand to my face, her expression changed. She seemed disturbed that I would want to touch her dog. This has never happened to me before.

Some people smile and wink, people with piercings give me an approving look. There's more attention and stares for sure, and not always in a good way. It's quite strange. To me it's just a piece of jewellery that looks cute and stylish.

What is your opinion on them?

WTF can everyone stop inserting pictures of cows?

Nothing wrong with em per se, i think they add a nice little edge. Here is the thing though, they work if you have sharp features, especially nose and jawline. On softer rounder faces they... just they don't work as well (imo).

Doesn't work

That being said, it's my opinion and the tube is full of all kinds of people, some of whom will take offense to such things. Don't worry about it.

[Asker]

both of those are too big in my opinion but I see your point. Rounder features would suit a tiny little ring or small horseshoe.

[Cosytoasty]

Thank you! Remember London's a big old town so you're bound to run in judgmental people, you keep doing what you want 👍.

[Aborealis]

I don't like them, personally, but facial piercings will always draw attention. It's the same for non-natural hair colours and just things that stand out in general. I make it a point not to treat someone differently just because of a piercing though so it's whatever. If you like it, that's fine.

[LittleSally]

If they're young - I always think they're trying to stereotype themselves, label themselves or prove they're 'cool', if they're older and into fashion, then I think they're just trying to be fashionable.
If they look natural with it and you can tell they just like it no matter what anyone else thinks - and that liking isn't initiated by fashion standards today - then I wouldn't think much of it at all - just them being themselves.

[orphan]

they like it because a lot of people don't.

[untotal]

I personally prefer other piercings to septums, but I still think they can look super cute on the right people! It also depends on the ring that you're using, some of them are gorgeous and some of them are just... ugh. Like any piercings lol

I certainly wouldn't change in my attitude towards you. I think you'll probably find most disapproving stares come from older people that aren't used to piercings in general

[Jxpxtxr]

I love septum piercings although I've seen them on some people who really couldn't pull them off which as a result didn't look too great, but generally they're cool!
I always wanted to get one but always ended up resorting to the fake version because I'm too much of a coward lol

[Asker]

I was so scared when I went to get mine done. I turned back and went home the first time. The second time, the piercer wasn't available at my local parlour. Then finally the third time I was in camden and thought there will literally be no better time to get it. So I just went in one of the shops and did it. it felt like someone was plucking a nose hair. Really quick and not painful. 3/10 on a pain scale. It's super easy to hide it too. You should get it if you like them.

[Jxpxtxr]

I think I actually will get one soon 😁 I know so many people who got one and they all tell me to just do it so maybe soon..

[orphan]

that is true.. my ex girlfriend had one and she had it turned up into the piercing for the entire year we were together.(i wouldn't have approached her if she had it out)

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan How shallow of you

[Asker]

@orphan I actually know a guy whose ex has one and he purposefully seeks out girls with those piercings because they remind him of her. quite strange.

[orphan]

are we not allowed to judge the result of someone's choices?

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan of course but if you meet someone who's a perfect 10 to you and you get along with them perfectly well and you decide not to date them simply because of a tiny piece of metal in their septum that's pretty shallow..

[orphan]

if it's so insignificant why do y'all get it in the dead center of your face?

[orphan]

if you move it to either side, universal perception changes completely.

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan It's just jewellery after all, people just need to start processing that information..

[orphan]

so location is irrelevant?

when my ex revealed she had one i didn't believe her... she turned it out to show me. she went on to say it was just some trendy thing she got years ago, she no longer thought it was cool. she didn't get it removed because it was a pita to cut it out, and a lot easier to hide it. w/ that mentality, it didn't bother me.

going on that it's cool to you, and should be ignored by others cuz it's 'just jewelry' irks me. why's it so difficult to say y'all feel different, so you want to be seen as different =\

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan why is it so hard to look beyond a tiny, and I mean tiny, piece of metal?

[orphan]

tiny would be a nose stud.

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan this is as tiny as a nose stud

[orphan]

what nose stud? 😉

[orphan]

go big or go home

@orphan 👍

[orphan]

photoshop the piercing onto one of your pics.

curious if it'll take away from your pretty face.

[Jxpxtxr]

@orphan If I liked that type of piercing I would still wear it nevertheless.

[orphan]

what better way to find out if you like before getting it.

[Rainie_]

Personally don't really like the look of horse shoe/ half ring septum on a lot of people, but others I love, a normal small ring or more elaborate/Indian looking ones. I do have faux rings which I only wear on special occasions like festivals and concerts, doesn't otherwise really go with the look I normally wear.

[electrikrainb0w]

I think they look good on certain people. I can't pull them off and I've seen some people that look bad with them, but I also know people who look amazing in them. Piercings aren't everyone's cup of tea. Some people will be bothered by them no matter how good they look on you.

[Dandeus]

Huge turn off. Not only do they look incredibly stupid, like you've got snot dribbling out of your nose when seen from a distance, they're also a sure sign of a shameless fad follower.

[Loadning]

Hot on those who pull it off. And people who put cow pics up are lame, there's a lot of tribes out there with septum piercings. Disrespecting their culture much? 😑

[musicbrain5]

I don't think they look good on anyone. They remind me of those rings farmers put through the septums of cattle.

I'm not weirded out by people who have septum piercings but I don't think they're attractive.

[zagor]

No like. Look at it this way, when you see someone walking down the street with a big booger hanging out of their nose, do you think, hey, that looks cool and edgy.

[TadCurious]

They don't look cute or stylish. Just gross.

[atomique]

I second that

[Raymond_Reddington]

@atomique i disagree on that

[Red_Arrow]

Agreed.

[Asker]

why gross?

[TadCurious]

So you've basically got a person who goes into a shop and tells the guy (or girl): "Hey, I want you to stick a piece of metal through the septum of my nose. And then I want to wear that piece of metal out of your shop to show the whole world." And the rest of the world gets to see your nose with a piece of metal stuck through it. To me, that's not cute or stylish. That's gross.

[Asker]

you still haven't answered the question though. I don't see why you'd think it's gross.

[atomique]

Why is it cute or stylish?

[Raymond_Reddington]

@atomique she asked you first

[Prof_Don]

I third this. Those piercings are probably my biggest turn off.

[Mustachekitteh]

It wouldn't weird me out seeing someone else that has that one.

I wouldn't get that piercing myself, I'm 100% happy with my 2 upper lip piercing. ^^

[SteveSocFootBase]

Well if you want an honest opinion, I think it's unattractive, a turn off. But if it's something you like, who cares what other people think?

[NotTheFBI]

Ha ha ha ROFL those pics, you guys are assholes... and I love you for it. XD

But it depends on which ring you use, those open ones look silly the ones that look complete are better.

But if thats what you like who am I to judge.

[XoxoXxx]

Honestly?

[performerwannabe]

Who cares what she thought? You got the dog's attention!😊

[slatyb]

I think septum piercings can be hot. There's something submissive about them.

[Ginnyweasley97]

If you're happy, that's all that matters. Fuck what other people think.

[Prof_Don]

Septum piercings, along with dreadlocks... are my biggest two biggest turn-offs.

[orphan]

eventually you'll gonna forget it's even pierced.. can argue that's the day it become part of you, or the day it becomes meaningless.

[orphan]

wow grammar hell. mentally fix it for me. =)

[ThatGuy98]

I strongly dislike all kinds of piercings on both girls and guys. So I guess it's a subjective thing.

[genericname85]

just not a fan at all xD

[atomique]

Here here!

[Byakuyarko]

Cool! If my job didn't forbid it, I'd get piercings too
