What is the meaning of a nose piercing?
I don't think there is any meaning to a nose piercing. It doesn't mean anything sexual. Some people say that if you have it on a certain side of the nose, you are gay, but I don't believe it and think it can be pierced on either side and not mean anything.
Is it ok for medicos in India to have nose and navel piercings?
Thank you for the A2A.Female medical professionalsI don’t know about navel piercings, but nose and earlobe piercing is a cultural norm in India. Most communities advocate and encourage their women to have their nose pierced.There is nothing ‘punkish’ in having the nose pierced in India. Different communities have different customs and traditions associated with nose piercing. Some get it done when they attain puberty, some do it at the time of marriage, some get their nose pierced because it looks good on them. The reasons are plenty. And nobody even gives it a second thought when they see a woman with a pierced nostril.Male medical professionalsIt was a norm not too long ago for the men to have pierced earlobes. Some young boys still sport small ear studs. But if I were to see my doctor with his nose pierced, I would be more than a little disturbed. In India, where there are very strict cultural / traditional aspects to things like piercings, men piercing their nostril/navel is generally perceived as punk folk. Other than their earlobes, all other kinds of body piercings are looked at with skepticism on men. Recently, a few celebrities were seen with nose-rings and people didn’t know whether to accept it as a new fad or to pretend they never saw it.Such sightings are very very rare. Nose piercings are still seen as a sign of femininity and it will be a long time before it gets accepted as an item of mainstream male fashion. And I don’t think medical professionals will want to look like a punk star to their patients :D
Why do so many Indian women have their noses pierced? It seems to span the generations and even class. Is it religious, spiritual, traditional?
Like the Sari, pierced noses in India vary from community, age, religion, region, etc. A lot of Hindu communities pierce the noses of girls at a very young age (e.g., the Marwari community), and the woman later retains the stud on marriage. In the south, Brahmin women pierce noses on the right side, to indicate their community and religion. Across regions, a nose stud (used to be) considered a sign of virginity, and wearing a nose ring was a very integral part of the wedding outfit. Nowadays, these distinctions have become very blurry, and the nose stud is evolving into body art.As a South Indian woman, I made my family quite happy when I decided to get my nose pierced (for no other reason other than the fact that I found it adds a lot of drama to anyone's face, and makes a great fashion accessory), but shocked a lot of said family when they realized it was the left side (in the Southern part of India, most Muslim women have left-side of their nose pierced). Class has played a major part in piercings, especially nose and ears. Some women have both sides of the nose pierced, and some women in the coastal regions have a piercing at the centre of the nostrils (I forget what that portion is called). These piercings have been associated with rural women, and the labour classes, and as such haven't evolved fashion wise.
