Nose Rings?

It’s grotesque. Anything hanging out of the nose, real or man-made, is disgusting.

Why are so many attractive young men doing it?

Is it like puppy play?

OP missed the 90s.

It's got to be nasty, when blowing your nose.

I know two people who got one this weekend and it's so depressing. They look like snot is dripping from their nose.

WHY do they do it?

These aren’t goth punks.

Gramps is upset because the young people are doing things which can’t understand.

OP...young guys have a septum piercing to appeal to other young guys. You are irrelevant to them.

The same reason idiots like r8 cover their bodies in tattoos -

I can't say as I love (nor hate) the look on most, but I do like that it's fairly reliable advertisement of someone who is not a prude in bed.

They do it now because we did it in the 90s.

Copying?

CULTURAL APPROPRIATION!!!!! Literal violence.

They look hideous.

It's a way of advertising that yes, you are a slutty bottom.

Thanks for the answer, R15.

So many!

I don't mind nose rings or studs but the septum ring is ugly, especially the one that looks like it was taken from a bull.

Bull ring.

trying too hard

Cultural appropriation.

Septum rings in Spain (see R17) are common enough among young men (women, in lesser numbers, favor the side-mount ring or stud) that I notice them only secondarily — or secondarily to the handsomeness of the subject.

I don't mind a piercing on the side of the nose, but the septum ring is way too bovine.

Disgusting and repulsive.

I never get the septum piercings. They seem to announce, "I consider myself brainless livestock, fit only for slaughter."

No thank you.

I think they're gross. Like someone has snot hanging from their nostrils

Dev Tyler

Theirs is the generation that pathetically thinks they're finding an identity by mutilating themselves permanently. It's all about their hopelessness disguised as an expression of hotness.

I can't wait to see what those tats and mutilations will look like when they gain 40 lbs and the skin dries up in just a few years.

Nose ring = I am edgy and alternative, not some mainstream himbo.

R32 had not been laid since the Reagan administration.

And he is bitter...so very bitter.

R32 got laid yesterday, bitch.

I don't get it. In cattle it was used to control them with pain. You can take them by the nose and make them do whatever you want. I can barely handle a pimple inside my nose.

Sure you did r35

Kudos to Javier for drawing attention to that ginormous honker.

No one wants to see anything booger adjacent ,especially a food server. Also, it's distracting to see people with ungulate (hoofed animals) features highlight the fact. Do you want people to moo at you? I generally don't like excessive tattoos, but sometimes they're well done. There is no hot-looking nose ring. That said, I'm grateful that there is no record/scar of my youthful, hideous fashion choices. I STILL lament the loss of leisure suits in all their polyester and pocket covered glory. Mom was going to make one with the McCall's pattern but I queened out and she bought me one in powder blue with matching silky shirts. HOT!

This guy is very cute.

For some odd reason I didn’t even notice the nose ring in OP’s picture.

[quote] Kudos to Javier for drawing attention to that ginormous honker.

What, did you somehow think people were not going to notice it otherwise?

It's very unsanitary and looks weird.

This guy got one and it got infected.

[quote]I know why misfits do bizarre things to their bodies, but why would hot men do it?

Who said one can't be both?

This thread is the typical predictable bod-mod thread. Filled with histrionic Marys. "It's distracting!" If you can't train your pea-sized brain to NOT STARE at people, then you have the problem.

Nose rings and nose piercings are unattractive, distracting and ugly. Knock it off.

r47 yes because nothing says "RESPECT MY PRIVACY! I'M AN INTROVERT!" like having a bunch of visible body modifications.

Attention seeking behavior.

I've always liked this guy with his (at least I think that what it is, could be snot).

One of the few who can make it work.

Beyond awful on men or women.

Deal breaker, as are those absurd earrings that people wear in their noses.

Hideous.

And I say that as a lesbian in my 30s.

Gorgeous guys with nonsensical bullrings!

Is it a Spanish thing?

And they have expectations that they will be hired, arriving for an interview with nose rings, various tattoos, and sometimes an ear ring. Apparently they don't know the old saying about First Impressions. I'm waiting for the first EEO complaint that one wasn't hired because the company dislikes "stuff jutting from one's nose."

Tell that to Jack Dorsey r57

How long since you left for the workforce, gramps?

R58.

Based on r49s logic, it doesn't matter if someone is an introvert, values their privacy, is a misfit, or is a gorgeous guy, if they decide to wear body piercings, they absolutely must be subjected to the rude stares of simpletons under the guise of distraction.

Looks like a sex kink thing.

(R58) NOT a gramps, sorry to disappoint you, one wonders how often do you bathe?

[quote] one wonders how often do you bathe?

I showered this morning, gramps. That sentence structure tells me you are, indeed, old and bilious.

They're for trashy, classless faggots. They look like they've been attacked by a stapler.

r58 My workplace has an unofficial policy of not hiring people with visible tattoos, men with any facial piercings or women with any more facial piercings than each ear pierced once. It's conservative, WASPish and discriminatory but that's the way it is. I know of many workplaces that are the same.

Thank God.

Your nasal cavity is a repository of staph, so this is highly unhygienic.

Septum rings were popular in the leather/bear scene years ago because they could be taken out when you went to your day job. It was the pretend misfits that wore them.

Shame because OP's guy would be cute without it.

He’s gorgeous!

But that bullring is repulsive.

Bullring quoting Kate Bush.

Isn't it amusing how R8 thinks this is new? And in his foolish attempt to throw shade on elder gays he just outs himself even more as a simple minded twink who thinks the first time he sees a trend it's never happened before?

Garbage (literally.)

Your reading comprehension is slipping gramps /r72

Try again

You can do it

It's a popular look with young women along with blue/pink hair and nerd specs.

Nose rings are removable, they aren't permanent like tattoos and the holes left by then aren't as obvious as other piercings like the holes from lip and ear piercings. I really don't mind them.

You know you can buy nose rings that don't require a piercing.

Interesting that 90% of this board thinks they're ridiculous and disgusting yet clearly those with them don't give a shit what we think. And that's exactly the message they're trying to send.

I'm betting the lifespan of the ornament is measured in months rather than years on most wearers.

Sorry, but most of these guys are NOT hot. Guys, hello, less is more. Just be/look natural. No gimmicks.

Nose rings get in the way of intense kissing. Just like Prince Alberts can break your teeth.

Not so young.

I thought septum rings were used to break the habit of nose picking.

It's hard for me to have any respect for anyone that has nose rings. Or lip rings. Or eyebrow rings. Or pierced nipples. Or god forbid, cock-piercings. Ugh. WTF is wrong with people that they'd do this to themselves, and make themselves look so stupid and ridiculous?

They don’t care about your opinions r86

Or you

The world doesn’t revolve around you

(R63) I assume, correctly, that is your quota for the month.

I don’t care how good looking the guy is, these are cringe worthy.

Big turnoff.

(89) I agree completely with your statement. What's next? Emulate the African tribesman that put discs inside their lower lip..

Young gay here. I do not think this is a great trend at all, and I have a story to back it.

The nose is among the dirtiest parts of your body. It’s moist, snotty and riddled with harmful bacteria and possibly pathogens. As a young boy, I of course picked my nose. Little did I know, I was risking the lower portion of my nose doing it. I was diagnosed with severe impetigo at six years old — it was a long fight and a really painful experience. Lots of antibiotics. This septum piercing stuff is like a needless game of Russian roulette for your nose. It’s a filthy trend that will go away sooner than anybody imagines. Besides, who wants to look like a cow? 🐮

Dirty, dirty, dirty, R91.

Who the fuck cares that you had impetigo at 6 years old, seemingly from picking your nose? What does that have to do with young adults and adults piercing their noses? Noses are full of snot and mucous, asses are conduits of shit, dicks of piss and semen, hands and mouths dirtier still sometimes, and yet untold people are sharing their juices and germs with sex partners and all of those parts right this very instant, and they will carry on living happily (and happier) because of it, and new generations will be born because of it.

A lot of things are "dirty" and yet not only do we get on with life, we make those things an intentional part of life.

Dirty Septum Queen!

I guess the septum bullring really is a signal that you are a cumdump bottom.

R57 People should be hired because of their capabilities.

Straight Men wear rings on their side nostrils.

It's gay men who want to be led around like bulls and pigs with the septum rings.

My instinct is to rip them off, does that present me as exhausted with this trend?

they can look nice and unique on a few people but I don't get the bullring business

It's just another case of stupid clones being stupid clones, what creeps me out is the "pup" bullshit every guy who constantly proclaims he's a pup needs to be taken to the nearest vet and euthanized.

Speaking of Pups, here are two!

Lotta bears are into this.

Pups & Septum Rings!

Pups and septum rings on top of being sleazy attention whores?! To The Pit With Them!

The metal is a magnet for mucus.

Have there been any threads making fun of puppy play?

There should be R105 with photos to point and laugh at.

I will do that tomorrow, R106.

Here’s another bear with the bullring.

It would be funny to watch one of them get their Bull ring caught on something and then revert to the true Marys they are as they try to get it unstuck. lol

They may as well hold a sign up saying "I'm gay!".

“I’m gay!”

R56 Idk, I follow many Spanish guys, all gorgeous btw, what's in the water over there? Anyways, many of them do indeed have nose rings.

Gorgeous Aussie gay with nostril piercing, not a bullring, thankfully.

Close-up.

🐽 🐷 Pig.

That last guy practically reeks of STIs.

A guy totally ruins his attractiveness.

I get the impression lot of people told "Eyolf Woolf" he'd never amount to anything and very often and besides becoming a sleazy bag of STDs all those people were right.

As R95 points out. Straight guys wear the septum rings too. I know for a fact that it it a popular trend among black athletes in the NFL. See Alvin Kamara and Zeke Elliot

Again with the pup shit.

He looks like his breath smells of garlic.

Well, I’ve heard the saying ‘ring on the finger, ring in the nose’. This however is a new one on me.

Such a picturesque moment, snot hanging from a nose ring.

It manages to say "I don't give a fuck what you think" while also screaming "LOVE ME EVEN THOUGH I AM UGLY!!!".

Did your "Momma" tell you to be a whore on the internet too?

Septum piercings are kind of kinky hot, but they seem inappropriate for wearing in non-sexual situations. But that’s just me; pig bottoms should follow their own star and do what makes them happy.

So not only is he a metal riddled slut he's an OnlyFans whore.

Satan’s Pig.

Tragic.

On most people (including fat bears and all women) bullrings look awful

On a few men who are naturally cool and sexy and alternative looking they can be incredibly hot.

I don’t care about other people wearing it, but I have a shady thicket growing in my nose and it requires a few buzz cuts per week.

Do you want to see nose hair with a ring? Wouldn’t the ring draw attention to the sneakiest of nostril hairs that escape my notice?

If I wanted to be controversial, I’d just let the nose hair grow, weave it, and bead the ends.

To each his or her own.

Any guy that refers to himself as a pig is fucked up beyond imagining so, considered the nose (and everything else) ring a clear sign to stay away.

Trying to find a $ugar daddy by advertising that they are insatiable pigs.

These pierced idiots need to be held down and rings ripped out.

[quote]OP missed the 90s.

Hell, Lenny Kravitz and Lisa Bonet were wearing nose rings back in 1988.

When I see somebody with a nose ring I always have an urge to pull out the ring and throw the person at the nearest machine gun nest.

Most of the time nose rings = trash both men and women.

They did it first, Bitches!

Those guys are just nasty, the top looks like a Neanderthal exhibit come to life.

No, Just no.

This guy has a septum ring

[[Dirty, dirty, dirty, [R91].

Who the fuck cares that you had impetigo at 6 years old, seemingly from picking your nose? What does that have to do with young adults and adults piercing their noses? Noses are full of snot and mucous, asses are conduits of shit, dicks of piss and semen, hands and mouths dirtier still sometimes, and yet untold people are sharing their juices and germs with sex partners and all of those parts right this very instant, and they will carry on living happily (and happier) because of it, and new generations will be born because of it.

I hope you are not a chef or cook somewhere.

Seems like a classy group of guys.

This guy is gorgeous. He has a tongue piercing and a nose ring.

Hate nose rings. Wherever they are placed.

I abso-fucking-lutely HATE it, and have never seen one that looked remotely attractive. Please, can we kill this trend already!? It almost always just looks like a shiny fucking bogey dangling out which is the absolute opposite of hot.

Boogers!

Gross, R162!! Taurus the Bull! Or Ferdinand the Bull?

These guys think nose piercings make them edgy, and sexy but it's just a gross fetish.

I had septum surgery under full anesthetic. It hurt afterwards for the next week, but solved the problem (daily nosebleeds from deviated septum). It also was just uncomfortable to breathe. I can’t imagine having it done for non medical reasons.

My first instinct is to rip it especially if the guy has overdone hair. For some reason the mop heads seem to like them the most.

R168

R158 Press 3 if you think daddy is getting more desperate with his advanced age!

R170

I don't want to press anything on that guy.

They remind me of that cartoon Ferdinand The Bull, who instead of fighting, wants to prance around and smell the flowers, or in their case, cookies.

A waitress acquaintance of mine has a nose ring on the side. She is twiced divorced, over 40, very religious, and paints. Her first marriage was at 20 or so and she divorced after 13 years with three kids. Then married the next dude she got knocked-up by and that lasted like 2 years, if that.

She got the nose ring after her second divorce. I think it was a kind of rebellion...yet she's oddly conventional and not very edgy...so I don't know what the nose ring does for her.

What did that guy have to do to get suspended from Twitter?

This dog/puppy shit needs to stop.

This is ridiculous.

Complete boner killer.

I hope they used bleach and insecticide to clean that tanning bed after that sleazy skank got out of it.

The bullring ruins this guy’s hotness.

His being a one-man sperm bank also dims his shine a bit.

[quote] Theirs is the generation that pathetically thinks they're finding an identity by mutilating themselves permanently.

Yes, meemaw.

Lovely!

They're everywhere!

I've become used to the kind that are rings below the septum if the man is muscular, hairy, and butch enough to carry it off (like the onlyfans star Bull Barrett at r164). But if you show the ends sticking out, it always makes me think of dangling boogers, not matter how masculine you are.

Nipples and nose.

Thanks for asking Rob, but I'm gonna have to decline...yeah.

I don't have one. I can't stand them on others, but I don't judge them unless they're covered in skanky tats.

[quote] I know why misfits do bizarre things to their bodies, but why would hot men do it?

For the exact same reason the misfits do it: extra attention.

Aww, this reminds me of the adorable DARIA episode, when out shopping for a surprise birthday gift for Jane, Trent sweet-talked Daria into getting a piercing with him.

The parlour owner told Daria she could rock a lip-ring, but Trent played on her crush and convinced her to go with the navel instead. A touching moment to see Daria take a little risk and let her walls down because of a silly teen crush.

IF AGE > 24 = FUCK NO

R177 reminds me of my most staunchly Xtian and Frauey friend from high school—now engaged, working as an administrator, with a degree in Victorian Studies—who has had a nose-ring since she was 16. I went with her to get it. She’s 30 now.

It’s the Claire’s Accessories take on rebellion, a way for religious normies to feel like they’re cutting loose, without actually committing to getting inked or ingesting a drug or anything else remotely ‘wild’.

All of you who have said everything I have wanted to say: HELL FUCKING NO!! Especially when covered with hideous nasty trashy tattoos. What happened to attractive men who aren't mutilated or covered head to toe in ink? They're like unicorns these days. This gross trend needs to go.

[quote] I notice them only secondarily — or secondarily to the handsomeness of the subject.

Do you notice it when they're ugly?

R216.

The National Jewish Organisation says they're an obstruction to health.

Whores tend to make poor decisions in general.

R218

Just adds more ugliness to the human population.

To dull the pain of being ordinary?

Zaddy Tony is HOT! Why ruin it with a bullring?

He was already ruined R224 he's just showing it by putting a ring through his nose.
