A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

High Nostril Piercings

They’re really not that different from standard nostril piercings, but I really like this high nostril placement a lot… it’s definitely odd visually.

    I love high nostrils, i think they’re neat to look at.

    But I’ve yet to see just a single one, they always seem to come in pairs.

    Ack. I don’t know why but high nostrils bug the hell out of me haha. When I see them I get this intense want to remove them from their placement, and put them farther down. Shes very pretty though.

    Cute.

    Piercings NEED to be symmetrical…I feel a bit uneasy when they’re not…Even when stretching, I have to do both sides at once…

    yeah, they’d be more visually striking if they were lined up properly.

    SO many nostril sets in the galleries show one side off. it’s more of a shame in the large nostril galleries. i took over an hour to line up joe’s 8ga nostril punches to make sure they’d be symmetrical, & it was worth every moment we spent. (pics at: http://lishd.livejournal.com/38224.html)

    & don’t tell me that symmetry isn’t always the goal, because i doubt this chick wants two piercings that are ALMOST symmetrical but NOT QUITE, & that she wants this distraction in the center of her face.

    She’s not “cute” – she’s drop dead gorgeous!

    And oh, how I wish I didn’t have the world’s smallest nostrils (so much so, in fact, that my *low* nostril piercing was nearly impossible to do for the poor, poor piercer..)

    I have a high nostril above one of my standard nostril piercings. (The only odd one out as far as symmetry in my piercings.) You definately don’t see high nostrils much around where I live.

    As opposed to practical piercings? 😉

    I dunno, my smiley is about as far from impractical as you can get…It’s a 1.2mm curved barbell, 8mm long and to be perfectly honest, I keep forgetting it’s there…It gets cleaned when I brush and use mouthwash but other than that, I was quite surprised when my new dentist asked me wtf was on the inside of my lip.

    PS: a have a few piercings which are most definitely practical.
