and my best friend and my uncle!

What do people think of nose piercings? and what do guys think about them?

I've thought about getting mine done, some of my friends have them and they don't look trashy and other people like it, but I don't know what other,OTHER people think about it.
(not the septum or anything but just the side). Or the belly button, what do people think of that?
Those are the only two places I'd ever get it done (besides the ears, in the lobe)

Lots of sleazy girls seem to get them though, and I don't want to be grouped in with that. Or is that just they way I see it?

i dont really like nose piercings. i just like them on the ear. but i think a nose piercing is better than a belly one.

I'm just pondering the idea, probably not the belly now that I think about it..but I still kinda like the nose.

eh lame question.

Awww little alex^nice avatar..its quite cute.

Nose is eh. It can look good, it can look bad. Belly button is usually pretty hot if you've got a pretty flat stomach, if not, not so much.

Nose only works if you're pretty and don't look like a slut haha. you could pull it off pinthin

hmm neat. Thanks for the input : )

^^ yeah, I'm sure you could pull off a nose piercing. but I think a belly one could work too. personally, I'd be more likely to get my belly button pierced. that's just me though. good luck if you get one of them.

Just in my opinion, I don't like piercings. I don't mind ear one's, but most others I just think are strange. I see tons of them, being a metal fan and all, but I still haven't gotten used to them. Nose one's aren't that bad, but I really don't like bellybutton ones. Tongue piercings make me cringe. Whenever I see them, I just think of someone having a needle shoved through their tongue... I'm bloody clueless as to why anyone would go through with that. Sounds like something out of a damn horror movie. Though maybe that might be my needle-scaredness coming through haha.

I personally don't like nose piercings. I would never get my belly button pierced either, but I think it can look good on some people.

I have my ears and my cartilage pierced and I'm sticking with that. I don't want to look trashy

Why do chicks not like being called chicks?

i think both nose and belly can be hot...but can also be a turn off.

but anything other than those and ear piercings i think is trashy. from what i hear a chick at my school stole an id and got her...ummm...unmentionable pierced. i think thats too weird for me.
