What the hell is a... Oh.
It might actually draw my attention away from your size, by prompting me to avert my eyes. The size of a person who does this sort of thing doesn't really factor into my opinion - at least not consciously, although it might contribute to the overall perception of insecurity or attention-seeking. I think that view is fairly representative of people in my age/income/education/ideology bracket, which I'm sure is not your target demographic. If the piercing makes people think you look like a pig, it probably would have more to do with their opinion of the piercing itself than with your weight.0 -
Can't really offer you any valuable input since I think they look horrible on everyone regardless of size.
Yeah, I agree. I have a lot (17) piercings, including a nostril, but I honestly think everyone looks silly with a septum piercing.0 -
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.
The funny thing is...people who "know" me...like at work, school, strangers....think I'm SO confident because I do rock an off beat style and I am a big girl who dresses very feminine (dresses, skirts, heels....ALWAYS). I think it just my defense mechanism...."Please think I'm confident so you don't think you can hurt me." I "fake" confidence but like my fiance said, if you can "fake" confidence enough that people believe it, aren't you truly confident? Idk...0 -
I would say get it. You can always take it out if you don't like it. IMO, only certain nose shapes can hold a septum piercing right, but that's not for me to decide for anyone else.0

Naw, I don't think you're those things necessarily. I think you're just insecure. :flowerforyou:
That's the understatement of the year!
You post a valid question, that does show just how insercure you are, why not set it as a goal, I saw your tag line stating 1lb lost, why not make it a goal for 25 or 50lbs lost... It will help you and your insecurity...
Just a thought,0 -
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....
Ok, ok...that is what I was curious about. Not that one response will deter me, but that is what I was curious about!0 -
People on here seem pretty garden variety so I'm not sure how well anything more alternative than ear piercings will go down, but honestly I think go for it, worst comes to worst you hate it and you can take it out and stuff.I want a septum piercing but I'm a fat girl...I'm worried I will look like a straight hog with it in. Are septum piercings only for chicks of normal size?
(I honestly think septum piercings look good on pretty much everyone but that's just me??)
How can you tell that people on a weight loss forum are "garden variety?"
And it IS just you. I have 17 piercings, including genital piercings, so I AM NOT "garden variety" but I have yet to see anyone look good with a septum piercing.0 -

I've had the nostril for years and years...just bored of it.0 -

Well I am a fat chick with a septum piercing. I think if you want it, and you like it eff the rest of them, a lot of people don't even know I have mine because while at work its flipped up for safety reasons - not joking, they acted like I was going to get my nose caught in something at work... and I said "If my face is that close to whatever might catch my septum piercing I should probably have my head checked (I work in a metal fab shop) lol. Honestly, I think you could pull it off (going off your profile pic.)0

Just a thought,
Totally thought of that, but part of why I got fat is my "I want it NOW." I've wanted this for a few months now and waiting that long is too hard for me! Thanks for the suggestion though! I have other things set for my goals, but this urge needs filled or throw away.0 -

Complete amen.
But judging by the OP's photograph, you will rock that particular style just like your current style. To each their own, I say.0 -

A genuine thanks to everyone who posted. Even if it wasn't what I was looking for! I think it's clear it is just my hang-up and this is really the confirmation I needed!
So, tell us!!! You gonna get it?
I think so.0 -

This. Exactly
I am agreeing with this one however to each their own0 -
I am thinking if you asked the question then you know your answer.....
This. You thought it. There are many more out there that will.0 -
To answer your question: I have never looked at anyone of any size with a septum piercing and thought of farm animals. I do, however, think it's unflattering for people to have something hanging out of their nose. But maybe that's what they're going for - an "I'm not happy with how I look so I'm going to make myself even uglier" thing.0

I just don't want people to think "Damn, she looks like a pig!" I do want the approval that people won't be reminded of a pig when they look at me! So I totally do care what people think of it! I never claimed I didn't....I started this thread to get the feedback.
And then you objected that you didn't like the feedback.0 -
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.
Bulls do, but so do pigs...I grew up on farm! It isn't as common but sometimes they will do it to HUGE hogs.
I have a septum piercing and the first thing my mother said was, "You look like a pig!" (I too grew up on a farm.)
That being said--DO IT. This is my favorite piercing because you can flip it up if you're annoyed with it or want to fly under the radar for a bit. DO WHAT YOU WANT! I love mine.0 -

LOL. You have a point.
Did you read my response back? I clearly DO need the approval that I won't trigger "pig" thoughts! I never said I don't care about what people think...I started this thread to hear WHAT PEOPLE THOUGHT...but about the question I posed, not their personal opinion...0 -

Feedback on a question I didn't ask. Sheesh...all I wanted was a simple answer to MY question. Hindsight...I should have stated that I wasn't interested in personal feelings of the actual piercing....I wasn't trying to start any drama.0 -

I don't mean to pick on just you because there have been several comments like this, but the "I'm going to make myself even uglier" line stood out to me. Let's all cool it with the comments comparing piercings directly to attractiveness, shall we? Bit harsh. If you don't like the piercing itself that's cool, but no need to make anyone who does have that type of piercing feel badly about themselves.

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
See, if you honestly don't care what they think you don't care if they think you look like a pig. I HONESTLY don't care what people think, and I never choose not to pierce, tattoo or otherwise change (or not change) something based on what anyone else thinks about it. If I wanted a septum piercing I could care less if people thought I look like a pig, cow, or fat girl with a septum piercing. And I like and wear crocs too, Sometimes with yoga pants. While riding my motorcycle.
And if you're asking about the appearance of something people will feel free to tell you. That's why I don't ask.0 -
Not to sound like a complete *****, but I didn't ask anyone if they LIKED the piercing, I like it, that is what counts...I just want to know if people would look at me and go "Wow, why would a fat chick get a septum piercing?! She looks like a pig!"
Seriously, no sarcasm...I'm truly not being *****y by saying I didn't ask for personal liking of the piercing, 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.
And I am so not averge size...I'm over 200lbs, a size 16/18 and medically speaking, obese....but good to know I'm a fooler. :-)
Most people are *kitten*, anyways, screw the general public and just do what you want!
I've wanted one, but I always thought since I have a nose ring, it would look like I have too much going on in my face. That's just me.0 -
Like a pig? no.
Like a bull? welllllll ... if it's a ring. But that has nothing to do with your size. I always give myself the giggles when I see a septum peircing because I always think "man, I just wanna tie a rope on that thing"
Sometimes they just look like 2 little clingy metal boogers, though.
Or a little tiny metal mustache. Then that evokes more cartoon imagery of the ol' "bone in the nose" look ..0 -

Yeah, we fat women in yoga pants and crocs on motorcycles are effing *****es that way. You DO care what people think. That's why you asked, and that's why you're upset about the answers you got.0 -
While I agree with this, I do think a small septum ring would be cute. or even a medusa (middle of the upper lip) or even a monroe (side upper lip, I miss mine hcore)I have seen many fat people with assorted piercings and my first thought was whether or not the person looked good with it and not their weight.
Some people can carry certain piercings that are extreme to others. It is all in their personal swagger. I have loved septums on some people and not on others.
Personally i think your face is too pretty for a septum and it would only detract from your pretty eyes, clear skin, and nice jawline.
I do not think that piercing would suit you, not because of your weight, but because you have a pretty face and it may or may not spoil it, too risky.0
