Ok so here is the deal. I am 21 years old and I have always wanted my nose pierced. The only problem is that I live at home with my parents. To be honest I am terrified of my father. So I asked him tonight if he would care or what he would think if I got it Pierced. He told me that it is not his nose and that if I did get it that it would nto stop huim from going out in public with me. Though he did say that he would not be happy because it is a waste of my "good" looks. He also told me that it is not his choice of what I do and that it would not make him think any different of me. But it might make him think different of other things. What the hell does that mean? Anyone have a clue? Because I am so lost on what he could mean by it...I can think of at least 5 subjects that he could change his mind on that would change my life drastically. So if you have any clue of what he may mean I would appreciate your help! Thanks!

It sounds as if your father would be unhappy about your choice to pierce your nose if you did so, but loves you unconditionally.

yea but what the hell would be the reprocution? lol thats what i fear.

Ahhh, Girl, I know the feeling somewhat. My father would have just shook his head and called me a crazy kid...like he did when he found out I had a tattoo (years after I got it). I thought my Mom had told him, but had not.

What kind of recprecussions do you think there will be?

I hate to hear that you are terrified of your Dad. That problem I never had, but I was always striving not to disappoint him.

Find me if you need an ear.

I was totally against my daughter piercing her nose. She did it, but it is tiniest stone. You can't tell unless you really look. She made me think twice, it looks so nice!

Unfortunately, I can't give you much advice about that since my parents have always been pretty open to everything (my mom, in fact, has her nose pierced). However, I say that if you're 21, it's up to you. Are you going to let your father control your decision-making forever? No, you need to step out on your own, even if it's a small step like getting your nose pierced.

I say get your nose pierced if that's what you want. Some piercings do have certain meanings, and maybe that's what your father is worried about, or maybe piercings just aren't his thing. either way, I don't think it would effect your relationship with him.

Yea all I want is a little tiny stone.
And well to be honest I have no idea what the reprocutions might be. I mean I live at home under his roof. half of the time when I eat I am eating his food. I owe him money though i dont think that would change. But I know about 4 months back we had a talk about how he doesnt think I am responsible or mature and until I prove that to him he wont trust me. But as I recall he meant mature in the ways of money and being financially mature. So I am lost. But its not like he could or would kick me out for it?
And I guess saying terrified of my father is a bad word...its more like I am afraid to stand up for myself or afraid of what he might say or do...thus my dilemma here lol

If you want it do it. I personally don't like them but I love tats. It is a personal choice. If it helps you be you then it is right no matter what anyone thinks. Hard times with parents , could write pages on that. Be you. If it is for you than it should be you.

You could do what my sister did. She waited until they'd put the last tuition cheque in the mail and the following week, she went and got a tattoo.

And since I had graduated a year before she had, I felt inspired, so I went out and got one, myself. (Wow, that's more than a year ago that I got mine!)

I guess what I'm saying is: be patient if you're afraid of the repercussions. There will come a point when you're really and truly an adult, who loves and respects her parents, but who is also 100% responsible for herself. That would be the time to go and get your nose pierced.

dumb question about nose piercings. if you have one, and you blow your nose, how do ya keep stuff from coming out sideways?

Maybe you don't. I hear that if you take the stud out, the hole will whistle when you sneeze. (I'm still trying to decide whether that is a feature or a bug.)

lol...I never had guts enough to ask anyone who had a piercing about it...maybe someone will pity us and answer those quest
