Confessions of a Nose Ring Addict
1) I’m not picking my nose, but I’m just making sure that the hook doesn’t rotate out and turn into a big shiny silver booger.
2) When I sing, the stud rotates in my nostril from the resonance and vibration, causing aforementioned silver booger dilemma. This means that I often look like I’m picking my nose between songs during worship. How distracting!
2) I want another piercing. I wanted another one ten minutes after I got this one. I already know where… Just need to talk to my man about it. Oh, and then find the money to make it happen.
3) I also want a tattoo. But that might not happen. Ever.
Any addictions you need to confess? You’re in good company… We here at my.com understand your plight. Just go ahead and share. Your secret is safe with us.
I’m so glad I got my naval ring… I got it when I was 27, walking with a cane and old ladies were passing me on the sidewalk… it immediately gave me a boost to remember some part of me was still young.
I would absolutely have a tattoo if it wasn’t for the whole autoimmune disease thing and the high probability of my body reacting to the ink. Because I’m a freak that way.
But no more piercings… three in each ear and one in my belly button is enough. I have a feeling if I ever got one tattoo I’d get more, though.
I also have an addiction to constantly thinking I need to lose weight despite the fact I can’t do anything to make that happen. That may be more of a personal annoyance than an addiction, but there you have it.
whenever i see someone with a nose ring my eyes start to water as i imagine the pain. in my head i imagine it feels like having a big nose hair pulled out!
Gitz! This was quite the confessional for you today. Go forth in peace.
Anna: Funny, my eyes watered when I got the piercing. From what I hear, everybody’s eyes well up… And it doesn’t really hurt until 10 minutes later, and then the next morning – LOOKOUT!
Hmm… being Catholic I’m more used to hearing that I need to say 3 hail mary’s and 4 our father’s before the go in peace part…
Where I come from, we don’t “pay” for any of it. We just receive the peace.
shoulda gotta tattoo with me in Salem….
; )
I used to really want a tattoo. Then I realized I would never be able to go through with it, so I gave up that thought. I still occasionally think of some ideas for them though.
Does the chocolate I didn’t even realize I was eating count as an addiction?
What tattoo would you choose?
My friend and I ran a 10k together and we received a goody bag that included fake tattoos. We put them on our arms and then started discussing getting real ones. A few days later, I realized I was happy that I could wash mine off.
I’m addicted to coffee and the computer.
Hi – my name’s love and i’m addicted to Tam.
Seriously.
I believe Brenda’s realisation is the best reason for me to not get a (real) tattoo… what seems to our human mind as a ‘good’ idea rarely looks so good a week, month or year later.
For those into extreme acts of ‘devotion’ how about the latest ‘fad’ – gouging out slabs and strips of skin so that the scars form the ‘artwork’ a tattoo used to insert into your body?
Not for those with a weak stomach – i did warn you!

Love: Oh my gosh! I don’t think I expected that, even with your description. That’s INSANE!
Well, i have 7 tattoos currently and want another one so so so so bad!!! and the nose is something i have wanted forever….but i think that my job may have a slight issue with it. i have never asked though, and it doesnt hurt to ask.
good to know that i am not the only one paranoid about having a what looks like a silver booger. i am always doing a nose ring check.
id love a nose ring, as you know, but i blow my nose tooooo much. it is constantly stuffy. that could get a little irritating, dontcha think?
i do plan on getting a tattoo tho. yes i do Love. deal with it
but…..i have to wait til my FIL dies.
sad.
where do you want your next piercing? and what tattoo would you get?
my confession: i could see myself getting inked again.
Piercing? The middle cartilege of the ear – in front of the ear hole… The little flap.
Tattoo? dunno. I haven’t even allowed myself to think that far!
ooooooh! you are braver than i, friend!
Mandy-get the other kind of nose ring…the one with a ball on the end. Nothing ever looks like it is coming out and believe it or not, you get used to compensating for it while blowing your nose. (Just a thought.)
I’m not sure if you know that I got a tattoo last summer. (The word “Beautiful” on my foot.) I love it. It didn’t hurt THAT bad and yes, I probably will get another.)
Sorry I haven’t been by for a while! School has been rocking my world!
By “middle cartilege of the ear” do you mean the tragus? That’s what I have and I love it.
It’s different but doesn’t scream “look at me!” I’d like a tat someday, either a fleur de lis or the word grace in greek.
My latest addiction (as in since yesterday): Shrinky Dinks!
I want a belly button ring but I’m scared of the pain.
