I Really Find Nose Piercings Unattractive
- Thread starter Unrepresented
- Start date
Quite the gentleman. I would not present a love interest to my enemies either.
When Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla use to have that radio call- in show Loveline a caller called in to complain about his girlfreind whose nip peircings got infected. He said they smelled like a garbage dumpster. 
I always chuckle at the arguments I often hear about "expressing my individuality" when the pierced are confronted by detractors. What individuality would that be? The one that makes you look like all the other pierced ones out there?
Styles and fads are not about anything but conformism.
I really think that by the time most people reach 50, they will remove these bits of bling from their bodies. I think about you that have stretched your lobes out (ugh). You are gonna need surgery to fix that up!
As for tats, I see so few that are done by gifted artists that most just look like hellz. Plain hideous, misshapen classless, talentless scrawling. People showing them off either make me laugh or feel bad that they have to wear that mess to the grave.
Apparently 95% of artists out there are talentless hacks.
As someone else said about nose rings, I only see and think boogers in my minds eye when I see them. Disgusting. Your feelings may differ.

I can dig tattoos but I've yet to see anyone looking better with a piercing than without.
To each his own.

I love a little sparkly nose piercing on a girl, but it has to be understated. When it screams "Look at the sidecar bling on my nose! Now!" it very quickly becomes unattractive.
Bull ring/septum piercings in any place on anyone I find extremely unattractive.
And if she is piercing any part of her hoo haa that is a definite no way. She probably spends more time open than 7-11, and I'm just not that kind of a people person.
When I put a little silver star stud in my ear with the help of my buddies and a hunk of ice (and a LOT of gauze pads. apparently I was a "bleeder") back in the 80s, it wasn't all that common. We did it as a group/team thing. I've worn a small tasteful earring of some kind in my left ear ever since. For the last 20 it has been the same 1/3" lightly filigreed silver patina hoop. Don't see that changing, I suspect it will end up in the urn with my ashes.
I guess the wave of ear guagings and face leakings is kinda the same thing. You know, shock the parents, establish a collective difference amongst peers and all that sociology stuff. The same except for one simple fact: even after almost 30 yrs, I can take that hoop out, and make the hole close up to near invisibility in a matter of just a few months.
Good luck toning down those coasters on your lobes in 30 years, lol.

I don't find any additions to the female form attractive. Why mess with perfection? I'm talking piercings, fake nails, or tattoos. I can live with the first two, but tattoos are pretty close to a deal breaker.
Edit: and while we're at it, I am not a fan of short hair. Shoulder length is acceptable, but I start to be turned off any shorter.

I need an anagramed one that says "septum piercings break girls for I"
In general I consider most jewelry to be a turnoff, mostly because it strikes me as a hygiene issue. Septum piercings take my neurotic level over the edge.
The way I see it, if you're not attracted to people with nose piercings, then you're probably not the person they are trying to attract.
Depends on the person. I generally don't mind a small, simple nose piercing. The navel piercing is fine. Ears of course - but I don't care for the big hole thing. Lip and eyebrow aren't my favorite. I don't mind nipple piercings.
Same for tattoos. depends on the person, location and type of ink.
My wife has had a number of different piercings. she let a few go when she was student teaching and nursing. She is currently working on a fairly large tattoo on her back. Doesn't bother me. They are tasteful. I have no desire for either.

I love all forms of body modification, ink, piercings, scarification, suspension, gauging etc... I don't believe that it's anyone's business why someone got something done and those of us that do have modifications of any sort really don't give a damn what people think. It's not about being independent or conforming or what ever lame excuse people come up with. It is simply done because that is what we want done to our body. As long as the person with the piercing or ink is happy then I could care less. Will they regret it later? Maybe, maybe not but that doesn't change my day at all. If you don't like someone's body mods then just ignore it and go on with your day. Personally I think most piercings and ink on women is very attractive when done PROPERLY and taken care of. Just my .02 cents on it all.
She's an attractive girl, I stand by my position that she would be more attractive without the piercings, but different strokes for different folks.
