Ok so I got suckered in and started watching VH1''''s Flavor of Love starring....Flava Flav. I noticed when he came out he had a HUGE diamond in his nose!!! Now I have my nostril pierced and it''''s got a little teeeeeeeeeeny tiiiiiiiiny crystal and I got to wondering if anyone on here has ever bought a diamond nose stud??!!?? Now granted were I to have money that I could just use as toilet paper I would probably go out and get a tiny little chip and use it...why not....but he''''s got like a 2ct right in his nostril!!! I felt I needed to share it with those who might appretiate it hahaha....sorry the pic is not the best but all the good ones were macromedia flash player and as far as I know you can''''t right click and save them...anyway check this out:

Look at that thing!!!!!! Anyone ever known anyone to do this??? I mean Mara''''s toe rings were cute but this is just a little TOO much bling hahaha

You can see more photos here:

I can''t see any of your pics, Mat!
 
hahah thats so funny because tonite at dinner my girlfriend was telling us her guilty pleasure is watching that flavor of love show and we were CRACKING up because she was imitating the whole thing and how wild the girls go over flava flav. seeing this picture tonite was hilarious! that is one big ole nose stud!

one of my girlfriends has a small nose stud, she looks somewhat like a jessica simpson but with more of a visual edge, not quite so bubble gum...the small nose stud really works on her..it's maybe a 5 pointer...it's hard to tell.
 
That guy has a great face for radio!

Come on....catch up!

Speaking of nose studs - I have to share with you this story from my office.

A nurse who used to work there was having a bit of a mid-lfe crisis. She found herself divorced in her 40''s and her kids were growing up and moving out.
So one day she and her college age daughter as sort of a mother-daughter bonding experience both went out and got their noses pierced.

But she was also hitting that thing that comes somewhere in your 40''s when you have to get reading glasses.

So her nose jewelry kept getting caught in her READING GLASSES!

Which is now my definition of a mid - life crisis.
 
oh gross... you mean girls like that guy?!
 
Ewww!

And too funny Tanuki!!! If that doesn''t sya you''re too old for a nose ring/stud I don''t know what does! LOL
 
Yuck. Age has nothing to do with it. No one should have one. It''s just gross.
 
With that big diamond in his nose, Flava reminds me of a rhinoceros. hee hee

Matorta- thanks for those links. My FI needs a new nose ring and he has been joking that he wanted a real diamond nose ring since he just bought me my studs. The ones you linked to aren''t much more expensive than the crystal chip that he usually wears. I think I''m going to have to surprise him. Tee hee
 
EWWW!!! He is just gross!! And how about those teeth, yuck!!
 
That''s crazzzzzy.. WAAAY too big.. but I do have a friend whos husband bought her a real diamond nose stud. It was either for her wedding gift or when thier baby was born.. I forget.. But it was pretty!
 
Well I started this post because I thought having a gigantic diamond in your nostril was completly tacky. But i''m starting to think whats tacky are some posts on here....really I stated quite clearly in the post that I did have my nostril pierced and i''m amazed at the posts that are downright rude. You can sing all day about how you might think piercings or tattoos aren''t for you or if you think people shouldn''t get them I would of respected that but to refer to it as ''icky'' or ''gross'' or even TASTELES!??! Come on..... I have 3 tattoos. I have my belly button pierced. I have had previously my eyebrow and lip pierced and my ears were stretched out. I''m smart, honest and pleasent to be around. I''ve had no lack of guys....conservative or ''freaky'' that have wanted to date me. My husband has his lip pierced and it turns my stomach that someone would refer to me or him as tasteless or tacky because I have a TINY crystal in my nostril. It''s so funny because I had been replying to the Lindsay Lohan bulemia posts and everyone was up in arms about how PC it was to critisize someone for being too fat or being too skinny but I see that it doesn''t even cross anyones mind that someone on here MIGHT not be conservative regarding fashion. My opinion of the forum just went down...a lot. BTW here is a pic of me and husband....I guarentee that 50% of you woudln''t even notice it if you met me.....a lot of people don''t.

devient i just wanted to say that you and your husband are really both 'beautiful' for lack of a better word....i love that picture!! you both look so natural and fresh!

since one of my best friends has that small nose diamond i would never refer to it as tacky or tasteless (well that 2c that flava has is a bit over the top!!) and i think it really works for her, and adds to her beauty if that makes sense. she really has her own sense of style, kind of like a carrie on sex and the city. also i have a cousin who has a tongue piercing that you can't even really see or tell that she has it unless she shows it to you,funny thing is she is super conservative except for that one thing! so whatever floats people's boats really. i am not a tattoo or piercing person, too much of a chicken to do either and i don't like permanent things, but for some people they really work.
 
Thanks Mara....I was just really upset reading through this. My opinion of the forum isn''t really low. I sit on here everyday and people have helped me out with lots of questions ect ect ect. I just found it a little hurtful......I mean if someone made a post and mentioned they had blonde hair would people sit here and post ''I just think people with blonde hair are really tasteless....it''s gross!'' BUT I do think there is a point where enough is enough...Yes, Flava''s nose stud is RIDICULOUS!!! And sometmes I will see people with more metal on thier faces then actual skin....and I will think wow that is really bad......but I don''t think someone having a piercing or tattoo deserves to be coined as tasteless....it just got under my skin for about a minute. I have a bad temper but I get over things fast :)
 
Devient,
my FI has piercings and tatoos. His sister is covered with them. I have no problem with any of it. I also think you and your guy are beautiful. People have a right to express themselves creatively. You have to know, though, when your expression falls outside of society''s "norm," some people are going to be shocked, and people will have strong oppinions for and against a particular look.

Your last post seems a bit hypocritical to me. YOU started this post to make fun of Flava for being over the top with the size of his diamond. It isn''t to your taste. For him, he probably loves it. You have tatoos and piercings. To some people those are not to their taste.

Maybe I am missing your point? Is it ok to make fun of a celebrity because he is not on the board, but get offended when someone makes a general comment about piercings which you happen to have. I don''t believe anyone directed their comments to you specifically. I also don''t think anyone made comments about the character of someone with piecings and tatoos. The statements were made regarding the aesthetics. Aesthetic interpretation is subjective.
 
No need to get upset since it was not a personal thing, but I still think nose piercings are gross. Knowing someone with one wouldn''t change my mind.
 
Actually Kaili I didn't really see DD's first post as making fun of Flava or ridiculing him (though he IS a tweaker!) but more like WOW check out this big ole nose stud, this is a diamond forum after all!

I don't really get offended easily if at all about stuff especially on here, I know that much of what is said on forums and online is people just speaking their mind or giving opinions and very rarely, if at all, is it personal. People also have their own style of speak or 'typing' and some may not find it always pleasant....I tend to mostly just ignore who or what is not my cup of tea, though sometimes I have to speak up just like anyone else.

Kallii Mara pretty much summed up what I was thinking.....I even asked if anyone knows anyone who had a real diamond nose stuf. Matatora''s links really surprised me I just didn''t know what was out there. I didn''t think I posted anything about him being gross ect.....I did mention in my last post before this that yes in my heart of hearts I think it''s over the top and could be percieved as somewhat tacky. However thats not how I came out with my original post, I thought PS''ers would get a kick out of it was all. However i''ve seen rings on here I did not like but I would NEVER come out and say I think this particular style or what have you is tasteless, tacky or gross. Maybe i''m not ''keepin it real'' but I was taught not to be rude to people. I don''t think i''ve been hypocritical at all.

Momoftwo.....not saying it would change your mind. You can think what you want. You can have your opinion that they are gross and I can have my opinon that it''s rude to post that knowing that the person who started the post has thier nose pierced as well. No problems.
 
Yah, I totally get it- diamond board, everyone has their own oppinion and right to post. Devient did say in her original post that it was too much bling for her which was an oppinion and comment about Flava''s taste.

I also react emotionally (like deviant just explained about herself), so I understand where she was coming from. I was writing my post as she posted the explaination, so I didn''t see it until after mine went up. I usually don''t speak up when I see discussions on celebrities such as the Lindsay Lohan stuff or even others like this one.

I wasn''t offended by any of the posts, I just thought I''d point out what seemed to be an inconsistency from the way I interpreted it. I didn''t mean to sound harsh in any way. You are right... written word is not always construed in the same way as spoken.

I guess my point is that taste is subjective and we all have a right to our oppinions. I definitely don''t believe in being intentionally cruel or attacking someone else for their choices, and I didn''t think that happened here.

All is good. No bad feelings.

Defientdrow: I don't think anyone expressing negative feelings about facial/body piercing was directing them specifically at you.

Since we're on the subject...

...I do not understand this fad at all. When I see an otherwise lovely young person with nose, brow, tongue, pierced, or covered with tattoos I'm appalled. How could they do this to their beautiful young bodies? It smacks of self mutilation to me.

I don't get it.

I just said I thought HE was gross and still do. He''s not my cup of tea. That''s all. I have nothing against a nice small nose earring. If my post hurt your feelings I apologize. It wasn''t directed towards you at all.

Devient,
all is totally cool. I understand your post now. I too believe in being polite. I would never tell someone that their tatoo was ugly or their piercing or diamond was tasteless. Who am I to establish the standard of class and beauty for the world?

When I thought you were saying that Flava was tasteless for wearing a large diamond, but you were offended by others not liking piercings, I was thinking that it was hypocritical. Now that you ladies have explained the original intention of the post, I take it back.

I think everything is straight now. Are we good?

hehe well Flava IS tasteless but I guess that''s part of his charm??

i just had to chime in here and laugh because after devient being upset about people''s terminology or what they were saying re: tasteless or tacky, widget says she thinks that piercings or similar smack of ''self-mutilation''...talk about terminology!!

i just had to laugh!! and i really did. i thought it was funny.

Everything is fine...really. I told myself I wansn''t even going to check this anymore but alas I am human. I wasn''t really personally offended...I guess sometimes I find myself feeling like I have to be the counter culture avenger and put myself out there backing up things like tattoos and piercings. Trust me I have had the same exact thing happen at work...people who talk to me every day and LIKE me have said "My daughter wants to get her nosed pierced and I said No Way!!! Thats horrible looking." Then I have to be like...Ummmm huh? Standing right here!! But I know no one really PERSONALLY means anything by it. Trust me.....like I said my temper is a little easy to flare and I found myself in my first and second posts there wanting to bring the wrath of the self righteous but I am not always polite nor non judgemental and I can''t make myself sound otherwise. Besides I get over things real quick. I understand that certain things mean different things to other people. For instance from Widget''s post...yes I can tell your from a different generation :) But to you you personally seem like somene who might even wonder why someone would dye their hair? Very..natural? kind of person. Me for instance I see no issues with tattoos or piercings in moderation (for me at least anyone else whatever floats thier boat) but I could NEVER see myself getting plastic surgery. Never. I don''t look down on people that do but it''s just not for me, and yes I have passed judgement. Like seeing a girl with a VERY obvious breasts implants. I have said "Thats gross" So maybe Kalli is right and I am being somewhat hypocritical...so don''t everyone think i''m a b*tch hahaha
 
In my experience people who get nose piercings, eyebrows, nipples, etc really don''t care what other people think, and that''s why they do it, so I was a little taken aback by the reaction. Your reaction to Flav''s large one could be considered offensive too. I don''t think the size of it should have anything to do with it. I just feel everyone''s opinion is valid and to post something about yourself and then take offense at other''s opinions isn''t fair.
 
I am in widget's generation and my mother had me so utterly convinced that ear piercing was déclassé that I couldn't overcome my aversion to it until I was 48! Well, I have had pierced ears for several years now, and I have to say that my mother does not mind. Seeing everyone else's pierced ears must have accustomed her to what had once seemed a very strange custom imported from abroad! Recently I have even bent my mind towards getting fire&ice to get her ears pierced!

I predict that any style that lasts (as opposed to being a passing fad) be it body piercings, tattoos, or something of which we have not yet even dreamed will become as normal to everyone as ear piercing is now.

White Go-Go boots did not stand the test of time, however.

I haven't seen the show but FlvFlav is always totally OTT, that's his whole schtick. At least it's not the size of that giant clock he wore as a pendant before!(he's not still wearing it, is he?)...

I have a nostril piercing, seven ear piercings(the seventh in the upper cartilage left ear) and two tattoos. For some reason, I've always loved unusual piercings and tattoos(ulp..never mind i'm sitting here online during Shabbat and married a non-Jew..sigh.).

....The mom of one of my best friends had a nostril ring and I thought it was amazing and beautiful(this was the late 1970s so it was generally seen as weird). A few older girls at my school had extra ear piercings and I'm remembering there was very pretty cashier at our Lucky's(now Alberston's) who had earrings running all along the ear. I would always want my mom to go to her line so I could look at them. :P

At the other extreme, another friend's parents forbade ear-piercing period because they saw it as savage, tacky, lower-class etc. My un-pierced grandmother and some of my great aunts are the still same way.

Anyway, I don't think nose pins/studs/rings have to be tacky or atrocious. For me, context counts too. I find them beautiful esp. on some Indian & Pakistani women. I also think they're more suited to the 'exotic' or (i hate this exprssion but i can't find another)...'edgy' . (spits..ppptooui)

My husband has no piercings or tattoos and no plans to get any. I tried to talk him into an earring a few times but 'no go'. LOL. In France, men with earrings are still seen as kinda 'branche'(artsy-cooler-than-thou) or 'gay'.

Other than my aesthetic sense, I tend to be much more conservative(esp. politically..) than my unaltered husband who's very Left. (heehee 'unaltered' sounds reaaallly funny but i'll leave it there LOL). So, you can't always tell by looks.

I also wear my jewelry selectively(chameleon or sellout? lol)... if I have casual plans, I'll have my multiple earrings, nose pin. I've covered the tattoos for some events. It all depends.

The only regular is the upper cartilage ring because I love it & it's such a pain to take out.

Sounds like my grandmother and MIL! We bought her (MIL) some gorgeous earrings in Morocco(I hadn''t realized she wears clip-ons and my dh was oblivious??!!). So dh suggested she get her ears pierced to wear them. She was appalled at the suggestion...went on and on about how her ears would stretch terribly etc.
