Be honest with me...

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. :-)
honestly... and I have no problem with piercings... but every time I see a septum piercing, I think of bulls
doesn't matter whether they are big or little... it's just the first thing that comes into my mind.
I've never thought of a pig. And never tied it to the person's character either.
ETA: and I never say anything about that thought to the wearer... unless they ask me to be honest with them.0 -
I think you would look pretty damn cool0

My sister had one, and she was a bigger girl. But other then a few bull jokes that had nothing to do with weight, she didn't have any problems with it. That said most of the comments she got about it was from our mother who hated it. Most people will not care, and the ones who do isn't worth bothering about.0

sadly probably does not taste like bacon
Well....
Hmmm, apparently raw tastes like tuna...Odd.0 -
Honestly, why give a rat's *kitten* about what other people think? If you were going to have a job in the public, then it may be an issue, but if it's just for you, then who cares what others say or perceive? Their opinions of it shouldn't have an impact on your life.

Because I have FEELINGS and I would FEEL like crying if I heard someone call me a pig because they thought it was funny seeing a fat chick with that piercing. This is the only tattoo/piercing that I have ever asked strangers opinions about...for that reason only. All others I have, I have despite whether others would like them or not. I have a tattoo on my side that would make me a pariah to over 80% of Americans....but I didn't ask anyone what they thought of that prior to getting it. It is hidden, for me and wouldn't make me cry if they told me their opinion of it. Their opinion wouldn't phase me, but hearing someone oink at me would make me teary-eyed, broken-spirited and head straight for the nearest box of cookies and make myself fatter...(why feeling bad about being fat makes me want to eat is beyon me, but it does), therefore, impacting me.
I own my life (well except for taxes) so how others perceive me is just a subjective view. Whatever the view, it doesn't affect my life whether it's positive or negative because I know what makes me happy. And happiness is probably why I don't view your dilema as one.

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

I hate septums. Nothing personal, they justlook trashy.
Coming from a girl with snakebites and someday dermal punched conch. haha0 -
"Septum" always sounds like something that should be covered by a bathing suit to me.0

Anyone who would refer to you as a pig when you have a pierced septum, would probably refer to you as a pig without one. People like that are not worthy of your consideration.
You're lovely, and if you want to modify yourself in this way because it is something you like, then do it.0 -
I got an eyebrow piercing despite what ppl told me. It got ripped out when i was drunk but I loved it irregardless. just realized my drunken self hated it0

I think....it's your body and your life! If you want one, get one. Why not use it as a reward though? Maybe when you hit your halfway goal you can reward yourself by getting it done? Something to look forward to and work towards.0

One of my roommates got one and her mom told her she looked like a pig. And she weighed like 110 pounds.0

I have mine done and love it. Seriously do it for yourself and screw what others think. Someone will always have something nasty and negative to say no matter what you do.0
