People who saw me all the time took weeks to notice that there was even something different! I took that as a sign that my new jewel looks natural where it's nestled on my nostril! :)<br /><br />I got mine after a number of years of thought, to mark a particular anniversary of healing, and yep, almost four years later, I still rather like it too :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921826593766725264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-39037705228242810082011-03-15T15:14:03.792-06:002011-03-15T15:14:03.792-06:00I got my nose ring (mine in the left nostril) abou...I got my nose ring (mine in the left nostril) about 8 years ago and the first day I got it, I was volunteering with the middle school group at our church for a waterski party. One of the moms was there and she looked at me, curling her lips in a little disgusted scowl and wrinkling her eyes.<br /><br /><i>Is that a booger on your nose?</i> she asked.<br /><br />Me: <i>Uh, no. It's a nose ring</i><br /><br /><i>Did you get that on purpose?</i> she asked.<br /><br />It was hard not to burst out laughing right there. I choked on my laughter and attempted to explain calmly that my nose ring was no accident -- that, as a 25-year-old who had a full time job and paid all my own bills, that I had thought long and hard and knew that I wanted one. <br /><br />And 8 years later, I still rather like my sparkly booger. :o)kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09789771023962578029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-43987491587361389602011-03-15T13:04:01.582-06:002011-03-15T13:04:01.582-06:00Ally - glad to hear I'm not the only one!

My parents don't care, but three years on, apparently some of the older church ladies are still noticing and needing to remark on it :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09921826593766725264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12340626.post-49763941033343592972011-03-15T08:02:01.216-06:002011-03-15T08:02:01.216-06:00HA! i also have a stud in my nose and have gotten ...HA! i also have a stud in my nose and have gotten various "you have a thing in your nose!" comments from people. My mother disapproves-- from time to time, she'll bring up her disapproval with a snide or sarcastic "you've got a piece of metal in your nose" remark. You'd think she'd realise by now (a year and a half later) that the ring is here to stay. i've had to learn to just smile and nod... and walk away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
