So, I'm thinking about this...

I turned 30 on June 17th. Into my fourth decade, hurrah!

I have been considering a small nostril piercing to celebrate. There's a place just up the street that does piercings. I've read up on it, and it sounds like the nostril is a fairly easy one to have done. I think I'd want a pretty small stud, rather than a ring. But I don't want it to look stupid, and I don't want to regret it in a couple of years. And I also don't really want certain family members (mostly Nana) to flip out if/when she sees it.

So, what do you think? Is this a passing pre-mid-life-crisis? Would I be a poser? Would teenagers laugh at me? Would Sophia yank it out of my nose? Should I try wearing bindi there for a while and see if I like the look of it, before taking the plunge? Help me decide, for I am the queen of indecision!

Yeah, a "nostril screw" is definitely what you want.

Also, this probably goes without saying, but check out the piercing place before you go get something done there. Make sure it looks clean, has knowledgeable staff, and they sterilize everything and use (and change!) gloves often.

I'm going to get mine done at some point, but I'm waiting for after my cousin's wedding so I don't shock my poor mom. :)

Oh, and hi, btw. I'm Barbara, Jamie's mom, from m.k.* groups. :)

Hi, Barbara :) I was hoping to find some reviews of the place online, but it doesn't seem to have a web presence or anything. Next time I'm out and about, I'll ask around.

I am thinking I'll at least wait until next week... I'm playing in a quartet at a wedding this Saturday, and probably don't want to have a swollen or red nose for the event!
