💯. 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.
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."
