What the hell? Facial piercings!?!? Can someone explain them to me please

Explain the thought process of a white person getting a nose ring. Are they really saying to themselves, so many people will want to fuck me now. Or I look so mysterious and exotic with the fucking hoop in a nostril. And no one will ever think how disgusting it must be to blow your nose.

And what about earrings in someone’s eyebrow. Do people actually think that makes me much more fuckable now? Or weird piercings in the middle of someone’s cheeks, like the chick in True Detective Season Five. Or piercing the uppermost part of your ear? Or getting ten piercings on the same earlobe? Are you supposed to be more fuckable? If not, I just don’t get it. And it looks just awful.

What is the thought process? Help me understand.

"White people"? What's up with that?

OP, dialing in from the mid 20th century

I imagine it’s the same thought process of a black person getting a nose ring.

Or the thought process of a yellow or red person getting a nose ring.

I don't think it has anything to do with fuckability. It has to do with drawing attention to oneself, usually to show that the person is 'different' from everyone else, a real renegade. Often it's simply self-loathing and attempting to make one as ugly as possible.

It is strange (and yes, I am old) to see how many superbasic Beckys wear nose rings or have a nostril pierced nowadays. These women aren't into fashion or rock music or being edgy- as far as I can tell- yet they have this stupid thing stuck in their nose. So maybe our culture has changed to view a pierced nose to be as unremarkable as pierced ears.

I hate piercings more than I hate tattoos.

Facial piercings look like they don't belong but they're fine in ears as long as you don't wear a dozen earrings.

A tiny little piercing on the side of the nose I don't find disgusting, but all others, especially septum piercing are pretty gross. I always wonder how a person could possible use a handkerchief or cope with a head cold.

Is this post from the 90s?

My favorite was the wedding couple walking down the aisle with cheek-and-nipple piercings attached to each other with long silver(y) chains. One would walk ahead and tug the other, and then the other would get ahead. It was a long aisle. In the last dozen feet or so they walked together. It was a choreographed "symbolic walk" showing how they'd always have to be together in motion, or there would be blood. And there was.

The cheek one was obvious, but they had holes in their wedding dress/shirt where the tit chains came out. When she turned around you could see he pulled too hard and there was blood on the bosom of the dress.

Episcopalian. I skipped the reception.
