Metal Steve Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Oh, and the reason fast food places won't let you wear them is because it's against health code violations. You're not allowed to wear earrings or bracelets either. Same reason you have to keep your hair under a hat or hair net and can't wear fake fingernails. Would you want any of that stuff falling off in your food? Link to post Share on other sites
HokeyReligions Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Originally posted by Metal Steve in most cases, piercings are very attractive. don't let these uptight, straight edge people talk you out of it. LOLOLOL! Attractive to WHO? YOU? Get your head out of your butt and grow up. It's time you realize that just because people don't agree with you does not in any way make them wrong or bad or uptight or any other negative connotation you apply. You need to learn this as you grow up or you are going to be hurt and your own self-confidence may suffer. Gwen, if you want to get it pierced and your parents are okay with it, then do it smart and be safe. But be prepared that not everyone will like it. NOTHING you do will meet everyones approval. Just make sure you are doing this for yourself and not because you think you will gain approval from someone you like. Link to post Share on other sites
Metal Steve Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 You're friggin hilarious. Yeah my heads "in my butt" because these stiffs are trying to talk someone out of doing something they seem to really want to do. Sure, not everyone's gonna like it, but who really cares what those people think? My point was, if it makes you happy, do it, and not everybody is so uptight about something as minor as a nose ring. And yes, there are plenty of people other than me that find it attractive. If a person is going to judge someone based on a piece of jewelry then their opinion is worthless anyway.

LadyX Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'm in agreement with you Steve. I have several peircings also. To me they are another form of expression. I've just learned to look past those that don't understand. Alot of women have their ears peirced, but can't understand having other parts of the body peirced, the reason for that is they were raised with the thinking that peircing your ears is acceptable. The next generation will be much more open to other peircings, because it is much more common now. Link to post Share on other sites
sonofhud Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 To me they are another form of expression. Come on, everyone who has ever had a piercing somewhere other than their ears uses this cliche. What are you expressing by wearing a nose ring? What are you expressing when you dye your hair blue? If a person is going to judge someone based on a piece of jewelry then their opinion is worthless anyway. So judging someone for any other reason would make my opinion regain its worth? You must live in a dream world because people are judging you for your piercings and the way you look everyday whether you like it or not. Call us stiffs, but we are just trying to get this young girl to understand the negative consequences something as "simple" as this can have on her life. If she wants to do it, does it really matter what ANY of us say to her? Shes gonna do it anyways. Maybe things will work out for her with the ring, maybe they won't. She will never really know until she trys it out and learns from her mistakes. Link to post Share on other sites
Heidi2 Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 That in fact you like it.... & feel that any age as long as mature for such a procedure should be no problem.. Also, I don't know about you, but I first got my ears pierced while quite young ( year or two). What's the difference besides location for such a thing to occur?.?.? Link to post Share on other sites

What are you expressing by wearing a nose ring? What are you expressing when you dye your hair blue? What is someone expressing when they wear a hat, a particular brand of shoes, a ring, perfume, a hairstyle, earrings? It is all a way to express your particular style. Just like the kind of music you listen to. I don't judge people for wearing ball caps, or what's in their CD cabinet. And whether you know it or not, the same people that judge people like me are judging YOU as well. Link to post Share on other sites

And whether you know it or not, the same people that judge people like me are judging YOU as well. I think you just made sonofhud's point. It doesn't make any difference. Metal Steve trys to slap a label on people to put them down and appear (at least to his eyes) as though he knows more than others, or his opinion is of more value, and that just makes him look more ridiculous. Gwen is a typical 14 y/o. She is asking for advice, but only if it agrees with her. from Gwen: OMG this page is supposed to be about advice! So dont say anything unless you have advice please! She has received advice and answers to her specific questions too. But then she says she wants to know what to say to her friends. To my mind that means some of her friends don't have pierced noses, then she goes on to say that most of the people she knows with pierced noses had them done when they were her age. Are they older now? Do they regret it? Have they had any problems? She should be asking them too & hopefully she is, but she is still seeking some validation. It sounds like she's looking for support and justification to get this done. Personally I think that's too young for facial piercing or tattoos because those things are very difficult, if not impossible, to reverse if/when the child outgrows it. Giving gwen opinions and views on why and why not to do this, and asking her questions is only giving her more information to consider when weighing her options. She might read something that will change her mind, she might read something that will reinforce her decision to go ahead with it. So what is the problem? Why the name-calling and anger? As for jobs, well there are all sorts industries with different dress requirements. Salary isn't a measure of success, and we all try to find the industry we are most happy with and that includes dress code too. I hate wearing suits so I look for companies that have a business-casual dress code all week. That is important to me. 50-60 years ago a woman HAD to wear a skirt no matter where she worked (even in the home). The type of career a person is seeking should be considered when one is contemplating an alteration to their body - whether it a piercing, tattoo, or whatever. Link to post Share on other sites

Well obviously I do know it, since I have choosen not to bring more negative judgement on myself by putting more holes in my head than belong there. Do you see businessmen wearing hats, Nike shoes, rings, fragrences, and various hairstyles? Sure...but I doubt you can find many CEO's that have their nose pierced. Why is that? THere's got to be a reason. I'm sure there are a few that get away with it, but it will makes your life much easier when you have a professional appearance. Link to post Share on other sites

THere's got to be a reason. I'm sure there are a few that get away with it, but it will makes your life much easier when you have a professional appearance. I concern myself more with the morals of a person. And the way a person chooses to express their style has nothing to do with morals. Alot of the people with the "professional" appearance conduct business immorally. And why should dressing in a suit or other so-called "professional" attire make my life any easier. Having peircings hasn't made my life harder in any way. I wouldn't trust someone just because they were wearing a suit. Also, a CEO, is just someone that is the head of a company. There are many execs in the recording industry, the fashion industry, with peircings, and tattoos...etc. You can't generalize what an excutive should look like. What would make life easier is if people would stop being judgemental, there's not a person on the earth that can make EVERYONE happy. Link to post Share on other sites

sonofhud Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Indeed thats where piercings originated, but that doesn't change the fact that other religions don't accept that. Just because they don't agree with it does not mean they are being judgemental. Link to post Share on other sites

LadyX Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I can't believe a thread on nose piercing has turned into this. Who cares what the different religions think about anything, considering religion is the basis for the wars that are going on in the world right now. To the young girl that wants to get her nose pierced......if your parents approve, I say go for it. If you grow tired of it, you can take it out. Or if you go somewhere that it's not appropriate, you can take it out, and then put it back in later. The moral of this story is, people will judge you no matter what, so live your life the way it makes you happy, as long as you are kind to others. Link to post Share on other sites
sonofhud Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 And what's so "morally" wrong about it? What religion is this anyway? I want to stay as far away from these idiots as possible. Many Christians believe that it is morally wrong to make any kind of piercings or tattoos on your body because the body is God's temple and by doing this you are not glorifying him. Anyways, I would like to see what the girl decided to do and how things turn out if she is still around? Link to post Share on other sites
