When I first started Middle, I remembered that I wanted a nose piercing so bad. I fell in love with how it looked on the side of the nose and how you can wear it however you want. But my parents wouldn’t let me get. They didn’t like how it looked and told me that I had no good reason in getting.
I became friends with some girl that's from India In my high school. I had to ask her about her nose piercing. I was so anxious to know the reason why she got it and at what age. I’ve seen in movies and people out in the streets with the nose piercing but with a little more bling to it. My friend and I got deep into the conversation and she had told me that she got her nose piercing due to her culture and that every girl in her family has it.
In the 16th century, the Indian culture made the nose ring a very popular accessory during the Moghul Emperors rule. (Significance of Wearing nose rings in Indian Culture). Like mentioned before, you can wear and choose the side where you want your nose ring at. There are many other designs as to what it signifies. In the indian culture, wearing your nose ring on the left of your nose will reduce the pain in giving birth and to any menstrual pain. It also signifies the reproductive organs.(Significance of Wearing nose rings in Indian Culture). The significance of the nose ring comes from the Ayurvedic belief. (Significance of Wearing nose rings in Indian Culture).
For my 19th birthday my parents finally let me get my nose pierced. It was an early birthday gift from them but it sure was the best gift. It wasn’t a pleasant feeling getting it but I was so happy that my parents finally let me get it.
