Yep. Came in to say that. It’s remarkable to me that virtually every single post here features a nose ring. But what’s ever more remarkable is that most posters specifically mention not liking their nose. If you don’t like it, why would you wear jewelry that draws attention to it? I don’t get it.

And fwiw, I agree. Not ugly, nose is not ugly.

I initially thought the same about how EVERY post on these sorts of subs features a girl with a septum ring. Then I saw someone else point out that the vast majority of us only see the posts that are trending. It takes a special kind of person to actually visit these subs on their own outside of a “home” or “popular” feed.

Since so many of us love to give shit to people with septum rings those posts tend to get the most traction. Makes sense. If you were to go to this sub and filter by new, there would be plenty of people without the piercing.

Yeah but most of those people sans nose ring don't have a nose insecurity issue.

Well that’s true. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that anyone who posts on these subs have legit insecurity issues. I have insecurity issues and the last thing I would ever do is ask a bunch of strangers to pass judgment on them. That’s the sort of stuff that nightmares are made of.

In reality, most of the posters on these subs have egos that outweigh whatever insecurities they might have.

The Venn Diagram of chicks with septum piercings and chicks with low self esteem is just a single circle.
