Exclamation Flu season, don't forget to duck

Yesterday, I saw a guy with a huge nose ring thru one nostril. I don't know much about piercing but, wouldn't that require a huge hole?
Now, if he should remove the ring, suffer from head congestion and uses a hankie over his nostrils when he blows...

I'm sorry but, he don't know where that stuffs going.

No.. it's probably a very small hole. The actual post going through his nose would be very very small diameter. It's the head of the jewellery that is large. Nose and upper ear piercings, because they're cartilage, are much harder to stretch than earlobe, lip, etc. So instead of using a large post, there's a small post that goes through the actual hole, with large ornamentation on the end.

A friend of mine had a stud in her nose... she sneezed once. Heh... the stud flew across the room. Gross, but funny!

Yeah I'm pierced so you would probably laugh at me right? After you get done laughing I might explain my interest in ford trucks and you might relize that I'm not a bad or different person just because I have piercings. But your probably to shallow to relize that just because ppl like different things then you doesn't give you a right to laugh or make fun. We both have atleast one thing in common but you probably wouldn't even think of having a conversation with me because you don't like my apperiance. Sorry about the rant but it turns my stomach to hear somebody downgrading ppl because of the way they look. You know what, you look ORIGINAL, so that gives me a reason to laugh

Smile Simmer down now...

I've got more important things to worry about than somebody else piercing their body. I just wondered about the hygiene aspect of no ring and no acceptable rubber stopper in place.

As far as I know, the guys wife did that to him to keep him home (physically).

You won't hear from me until you try to stick it in your nose.

Must have been a helluva wreck! I'm sure they'll fix you up good as new... and I don't even know what a 'labret' is or whether I have two of them.

Wink Labret

Raoul,

Use Babylon Translator like I do.

Labret:an ornament worn in a perforation of the lip.

I can't have my eyebrow done anymore because of my job,(well I'm actually laid off but that's another story). Most casinos frown upon piercings because your in the public eye. The one that I work for is not quite as restrictive though, will allow ears but eyebrows have to have a bandage over them if there pierced. I would love to have my nose and eyebrow done but I have to keep it conservative. Would get my tongue done but I'm alittle scared of the pain. Everybody tells me that the upper ear hurts worse then your tongue though. Nipples will be next on my list. That really hurts I guess

Upper ear hurts like a... like a thing that really hurts a lot. i've been told that the tongue hurts briefly and then it's over. Nipples depend a lot on how sensitive they are. Luckily my work is relaxed about eyebrow rings
