And I'm speaking from experience here. I've lost bids because of, and been told to my face they thought, my nose ring was unprofessional.

I chalk it up to the area I live in. It's impossible to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced it. Just ask Art, lol.

(Just kind and gentle irony, that's all.)

Unprofessional? Oh, well. But I'm sure there are teeny speck studs that hardly show. But you must know...

PS:

I guess I meant by expectation, a kind of self-driven expectation that a person would have, rather than someone else imposing it.

Like, so many brides expect pearl-drop earrings or something similar, off the shoulder dress etc. To these, adding a nose ring might become a standard, self-driven expectation.

my new piercing... conch.

Oy! Conch piercings weird me out. I just expect then to be so painful. I think it'd look nice with a stud, though. You keeping the CBR or changing it after healing?


I want a new tattoo. Or piercing. Or both. ._.

[Purple Girl]

haha.. it was kinda painful. she had to shove pretty hard. :P i'll probably change it to a seamless ring when it's healed. :]

I'm also going to be getting a new tat soon too.
