On the left is a rhino (vertical nose piercing) done by Daryl Nicholson at New Tribe in Toronto using a 14ga 7/16″ barbell (the 16ga high nostrils and the 14ga medusa are also his work). On the right is Netira’s DIY vertical nose piercing (she works at Iron Cross Tattoos in San Antonio, Texas).

I really find these piercings a bit.. er ugly to be honest. Nothing about them appeals to me in any way, they come under the tag ‘western piercings that seem to be done simply because they can’.

i have to agree with comment 2. i think it looks weird and out of place. the boy’s looks better than the girl’s, but they are both very odd.

I like them if they can be pulled off. They are a rather unusual piercing that wouldn’t suit most people

I don’t really like this piercing too. I can’t really explain why, for me it just looks “wrong”.
But anyway if people are happy with them that’s ok ^^

like every piercing, this looks awesome on people who can pull it off. that being said, personally i don’t care what others think of me or my mods, so as long as these two feel the piercing compliments them, great. also if they read this, don’t worry about what others are saying! as long as you don’t sense malice in their comments, please don’t get upset!

ouch, that hurt! how does it ever heal? nose piercing like that is a bit to close to the brain….infection gone awry, brain absess begins! ouch! i knew someone who got a brain absess from a tongue ring! anything near that region is a no go for me! ouch!

*snorts of hysterical laughter*
Anyway.
I was thinking, looking at those, that it must take a pretty unusually shaped nose to pull them off so the nose is wearing the piercing and not the other way around … they definitely fall in the “meh … why?” category for me.

definately not my cup of tea… but if sticking a fork in yer eye, a cactus up yer bum or a piercing on the tip of yer nose makes you happy, then by all means… whatever makes you happy and doesn’t harm others is all in good fun… right?
