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).

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?

Piercings are getting to be so mainstream its nice to see something that I don’t see everytime I walk past hot topic. On a side note I can’t imagine having one of those. I would always think I had something on the end of my nose and try to brush it off. Therefore I commend them both for originality and being able to keep it.

I think those are great. I love seeing new and unique peircings, even if some people think “they come under the tag ‘western piercings that seem to be done simply because they can’”. Don’t be such piercing snobs. 😉

i personally think the piercing looks a bit odd and out of place…but to each their own.

I actually love that piercing. I think it’s adorable…the only problem I have with it is how the barbell looks a teensy bit oversized on the girl on the right. Straight on it’s gorgeous but I tend to be crazy OCD like that.

I’m interested about how well this heals, and if it lasts very long.
I, personally, don’t find it very attractive, but I agree with everyone else on the ‘to each their own’ comments.

Oh thats gorgeous!
I really, really love that.. looks kinda strange straight on, but that might be cos the balls are kinda big or the top ball looks slightly too high up.. but the second one! *drools*
I’ve always fancied having a piercing like but just with the second ball showing.. hmmmm…

I really really really like the symmetry on the guys face, he obviously knew what he was going for and it worked out wonderful for him.

I just dont like it. Seems like they are trying too hard to be different and get attention and it looks goofy but what ever makes you happy.

…….. siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh. This is like the fanny pack of the piercing world: sure, it serves a purpose, but man it’s tacky as hell. Whatever.
