I'm biased because I have a nose ring. A properly done and cared for nose ring isn't likely to get infected (the mucus membrane does some self-cleaning,) but you do have to be exceptionally careful when picking a studio.
Your comment IS making me want to give my piercing a good cleaning, though, lol.
I don’t find noses ugly as a rule. In fact, some people have really nice ones. I’m not a fan of the septum ring piercing though. I just don’t like the aesthetic. But the little stud on the side of the nose is quite cute and looks good on a lot of people. >

I'm intrigued that to you, personally, ears are for some reason OBVIOUSLY more attractive than noses. They're both funny shaped lumps of cartilage, where's the inherent beauty of ears coming from in your mind? >

My septum ring drives away the kinds of people who would tell me "don't do what makes you happy because it makes you ugly." >

💯. I have one too, I find people either love or hate it, definitely more of the latter than the former. I find those who hate it tend to be generally on the close-minded, bigoted side when it comes to most things. I experienced similar reactions when I rocked a shaved head as a female for 8 years, with the most veiled hostility and even outright vitriol coming from cis hetero men. >

It's not just an LGBT thing, but I HAVE noticed that septum rings are way more popular in the community. Actually, I kind of thought septum rings were ugly until I started hanging out with more LGBT+ folks. They don't wear them any differently than other folks, it's just that you're exposed to them a lot more when hanging out with an LGBT/GNC crowd. >

So whats the problem? >

I have a septum and it makes me feel happy and confident, and I know lots of other people who love it.
Besides that, if I want to take out my septum piercing permanently there will be no visible hole (well, unless you stick your face into my nostrils) which is the main reason why I got it
This is definitely an unpopular opinion, take my upvote :) >

No disrespect to those with them I just get disgusted by it. Especially the bullring. Why do people wear those ahhh and if someone pulls on it ahhh heck no. I find noses very cute sometimes >

Phew, I’m safe with my nostril hoop then since it’s not a stud or a septum 😂 >

I should have added "or anything else." 😉 >

It’s a good thing that my nose isn’t my least facial feature then (;
That’s unfortunate it clearly is for you, but I’m safe 🥰 >

Agree. Even a simple stud on the most perfect nose looks so dumb. Everyone trying so hard to be ‘different’ but it’s so overdone now. >

I personally don't like them either. Someone once compared septum piercings to bull nose rings, and yeah... it wasn't a nice comment, but I still cant unsee it. >

I didn't even mention that, but yes. I see those and think "farm animal." >

I agree for a different reason. Getting an infection in the triangle around your nose can become very serious, as the infection can spread to the brain quite easily
