    I am thinking if you asked the question then you know your answer.....

    I just really want honest opinions and to know if the general public would think that a fat girl with a septum piercing would trigger "pig" in their head...I would think that, but I'm hypercritical.

    If you think that about others, why on earth would you do it to yourself?

    Well, like I said, I am hypercritical and I know that is wrong, but that doesn't mean everyone else thinks like I do. I think it looks adorable...but I just KNOW if I seen a fat girl with one, I PERSONALLY would think that...no idea how the general public thinks though...that is why I am asking to see if anyone else happened to reply with "Oh, I totally would have thought that."

    Ok, fine. I would think you would look like a pig.

    Because I hate that particular piercing.

    Can't really offer you any valuable input since I think they look horrible on everyone regardless of size.

    ^^^^^This^^^^^^

    Ditto for me too.

    When you asked if it would make you look like a pig, wasn't that asking for an opinion?

    Yes, the opinion of "Would the image of fat girl with a septum ring remind you of a pig?" Not "Do you personally like the look of this piercing?" Totally was asking for an opinion, but to a specific question.

    Correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't it a BULL that gets this type of piercing? I haven't ever heard of a pig with a septum piercing.

    All in all no matter what any if us say its up to you to decide whether you want one or not. I don't see how getting this piercing will make people think you are more or less of a "pig" if that's how you perceive yourself.

    lol ^^^was thinking this exactly

    Well I am 54 yrsold and while I don't have a septum piercing I do have 10 gage piercings in my ears which is probably not that wild but I really only have them because I wanted them. If you want it go for it. :bigsmile:

    Unless you get something like this, you should be perfectly fine.

    and for the most part we answered you...

    that people probably wouldn't notice your size and think " she looks like a pierced pig" but rather people would hyper focus on the piercing and say "that's not for me"

    we DID answer you...

    your size has nothing to do with it. nothing...

    so get the piercing and know that most people will be questioning why you did that...regardless of your size.

    I know people will question it/dislike it and that is fine...but this particular answer is more what I was looking for...that overall my size won't sway their opinion...they will just wonder why the hell I did that...and that is ok...I wonder why people wear mom jeans on their flat *kitten* or have mullets or stacked haircuts or wear Crocs...I don't like that stuff and just because I don't doesn't mean they can't...

    Thank-you

    **** no -- rock that septum piercing if you want it! :D

    One of the fattest chicks I knew had a septum piercing, and she was a bad-*kitten*.

    I would pretty much have to see your entire wardrobe to determine if *I* think it'd look right, and it'd be based completely off what kind of clothes you own, not your weight. For example, if you wear A&F, I wouldn't recommend a septum piercing. :P Would I think you're a cow or pig? No. Worst case scenario I'd think you can't properly put together a fashion statement.

    Well, I got answers to a question I didn't ask. Judgemental answers. And people thinking I'm a ***** is nothing new...and I'm ok with that. But I really wasn't TRYING to sound *****y, but I knew if I didn't preface that, it would sound even MORE *****y. My attempt at trying NOT to be *****y failed...I'm not suprised though. ;-)

    Why shouldn't someone who wears A&F get a septum piercing? :huh: You don't have to dress a certain way to get certain piercings, and most people don't get them solely as a "fashion statement". It'd be silly to say my piercings suddenly don't look "good" or "right" if I happened to switch to a new clothing style.

    One last thing for OP. Here's a bigger gal with a septum piercing. I think she's gorgeous, and the piercing looks fine.

    Lol. You sound like my fiance with the fashion statement comment. FTR, he hates the idea of the septum piercing. When I spoke to the piercer about it, I mentioned my finace was against it and the piercer goes "Call me when you're ready." Lol....clearly knew I really wanted it despite my fiance's feelings.

    And my wardrobe is rockabilly/vintage...sometimes more rockabilly...sometimes more "classic" vintage, but with weird hair color and tattoos.

    Jeesh, I think she looks smokin'...pig was not my first thought, it was she is an absolute doll. Ok...so apparently I am a shallow, hypercritcal, mean, judgemental ***** deep down because I'm the only one who thinks I would think "pig".

    Naw, I don't think you're those things necessarily. I think you're just insecure. :flowerforyou:

    Like I said earlier, get it and see if YOU like it. If you don't, take it out. Done deal.

    It was a personal opinion. People can wear w/e they want, she asked what OUR OPINIONS would be. So, yeah. Btw, the girl in that pic doesn't shop at A&F. :P

    I vote that if you like it, you get it. At the end of the day, if you don't like the way it looks, take it out. :-) The key to happiness, and being seriously sexy, is confidence. Start with that... rock it, or don't, but do either one with ALL of you.

    To answer you directly, I can't speak for everyone else but I have first hand experience of being with a girl out walking down the street. She's about a UK 16 and quite attractive, not too alternative but more than one person called out "here piggy piggy piggy" and several people stared just a bit too long.

    And it was gross when she had a cold....

    Forgot to mention she had a septum ring!
