I don’t know why nostril-to-ear chains ever fell out of fashion. Every time I see someone reviving the style I smile. There’s no facetiousness in my words — I’m being 100% serious. I really love the way it looks.

I like the way they look too, but it seems incredibly impractical to me. I imagine it would hurt a lot if it got caught on something.

My only problem with it is that I was always afraid that someone would rip it out… by the way, I sa plenty of those on Indian women in walking around in the U.A.E. infact, I even saw jewellery for it in “Gold Shops” around town.

I think it looks great, but the only way i’d do it is if someone rigged them with magnets so if they got caught it would come off without ripping either piercing.
(PS SOMEONE DO THIS. AND TELL ME ABOUT IT SO I CAN HAVE ONE)

Nostril chains are the shit, I’ve totally thought about wearing one. I feel like that chicks nostril looks kinda pissed off though, and I think she should have a larger gauge ring. Otherwise I totally apporve.

On a slightly related note I love the look of a VCH ring linked to a navel piercing with a chain 🙂

One of my Bengali friends showed me a picture of her cousin’s wedding and the bride had a nose-to-ear chain. Nose rings are traditional for women in a lot of Indian subcontinental cultures.

I think these chains look cool too, and I’ve just recently began wearing one again (nostril to tragus).

I used to wear these until one of my friends told me he’d slap me in the face whenever he saw me wearing it…

when I was a kid in school we were in PE playing basketball, and a guy made a shot and on the way down fell into another kid. That kid started screaming and a chain with a ring attatched fell on the ground..
YES it was his nipple ring! No one even knew he had them pierced much less a chain between the both of them. Needless to say he still had one in but the left one was ripped out. He had a basic necklace chain between them, attached by a c shaped ring pressed closed. Luckily the ring attached to the right one just came undone and didn’t rip out.
I never attached anything to any of my piercings, due to that memory.
Silly I suppose.
That made for a pretty interesting day at school.

The whole connecting piercings by chains look is really popular in j-rock kinda fashion. I would do it, but I don’t like things hanging off my piercings. It makes me uncomfortable.
