Attractiveness of Nose Stud vs. Nose Ring (tone, fashion, look)

[goodheathen]

I'm wondering if most people agree with me that a typical, hard-to-see nose stud looks better than a nose ring. (Google "nose stud" if you're not sure what I mean.) I'm also curious about those who disagree and when a nose stud is considered unattractive.

To each their own. I have a nose ring and alternate with a hoop and I love it. I like my jewelry to be front and center bc it's not cheap - all of my rings use 14k or 18k gold and real stones - and they are ornate

I might be oldfashioned but I just think that any nose jewelry looks kind of gross. Reminds me of the cows, sorry!

The only exception is Indian ladies with those beautiful traditional dresses, they somehow can pull it off. I've never seen it work on anyone else. You are beautiful without it, trust me.

I can handle a small nose ring, but anything in the septum looks ridiculous to me

If a stud is "hard to see," why bother? A small stud in the nose is not that big a deal.

Agreed. Reminds me of tagged cattle.
Not old fashion in mind set. Simply find certain concepts serving little purpose..

I'm sure at 70 or 80 yrs of age..It will be..What was I thinking.?? But then I say that about the huge holes people put on their ear lobes ..

Anything beyond a pierced earring is gross. I can't vote on your poll because it doesn't include "neither." It disturbs me to have to look at people with other piercings. It makes them look like a freak.

There is nothing attractive about nose piercings. One or two ear ring piercings per ear is all I want to see. And no tats.

Agree with the last two responses. Facial metal is just plug ugly.

And what is with the Ubangi ears:

How did that ever become attractive?

Body piercings are as controversial/offensive as tattoo's (except normal ear ring's) which means they should be banned here at City-data.

And even a lot of the Indian women aren't actually piercing their noses. They are using stick-ons or magnets just for the special occasions where it looks really good with the outfit.

I have never met anyone I can take seriously who has any kind of nose piercing.
