Septum rings were originally used to control livestock.
Real ones love people with septum rings because they're submissive and breedable.

Where I live I think you can get these kinds of piercings at 16. And I've never met anyone that still have these that over age 25.
When I see these I automatically think the person is a teenager.
I have one I'm 39. But I don't wear a ring in it. Just a tunnel so I can stick stuff through my nose and freak people out
Right, so I wouldn't be able to see it if I met you in person? Did you have a ring in it in the past?
Only when I first got it but I wore it hidden a lot then too. Then I stretched it up a few sizes. I like that it's hidden and people don't know.
I have other facial piercings too. At some point it's just too many metal things lol
Aww why nitpick? She's gorgeous, young, talented. At least for now. I can't figure out why she hasn't become America's (always temporary, revolving crown..) sweetheart in a bigger way than she has. America has gone all goo-goo eyed for far less talents and looks than she's got going on right now.
I mean, I’m an anarchist and I don’t find women with septum piercings sexually appealing.
Then again, I am a gay man.
How about men with septum piercings?
Pretty hot, ngl. 🤷♂️
Then again, I am a gay man.
Small detail.
Barely worth mentioning.
I don’t necessarily find them unattractive but I find that I don’t have confidence to approach women with them.
Great ! Another thing to add to my aposematism.
I don't know what's wrong with me but septum piercings on women are the sexiest thing ever, for some reason I don't feel the same way about them on men.

Am I the only one low-key annoyed that the photo does not show a septum piercing (I understand it's called a "smiley" piercing--done on the frenulum of the upper lip)? It's Alysa Liu's signature look.
Nah I was squinting at the picture trying to find it.
your wife walks by
400X view of some girl's nose on your monitor
"...I don't even wanna know"
I just find them unnattractive; generally not into piercings or tattoos. To each their own...
Nose rings are for cows 😀
I have a sensory issue when I see piercings. If I see someone with a nose ring, I feel it in my nose, but like the thickest part of the ring going through my nose.

That's Alysa Liu and iirc she did that piercing herself.
Ha! I thought the punchline would be something like "they're an effective deterrent."

That's not technically correct though. At least it wasn't many years ago. People can get pierced with a guardian's approval and sign off. They cannot get a tattoo though.
I've known plenty of underage girls with tattoos. One told me that she got hers at parties where a bunch of kids got together and paid a pro to come to the house and give them all tats. I know for a fact that she wasn't a rich kid, so it must not have cost that much. Her tats were nice too, not like it was some amateur experimenting on minors.
