I checked about 7 websites on the meaning of nose piercing for western women.  I'm not going to post links here because I don't have time but the unanimous reason was "bodily autonomy, rebelliousness, creativity, openness to trying new things, and self-rule".

From what I can see in that picture, that is not a clip-on earring. It looks like a thin wire hanging with no stud at the lobe.  I used to wear clip on earrings (now I just don't bother with earrings at all), and you couldn't find a clip on like that.  For clip-ons, you have to have at least a stud of some sort at the lobe where the clip-on mechanism can connect under the lobe and in the back.  Not sure if that makes sense.

As for the nose piercings, I know a couple of traditional Catholic women who have them.  One wears a stud and the other I have seen has one and wears a small ring on one side.  It is surprising to me that they have it, and it definitely takes away from the beauty of the woman (especially the ring).  It also makes it very difficult not to look at it when speaking with them. 

The first few times I ever saw nose piercings, I thought it was a booger hanging down.

When did this stuff get started?  Never heard of such a thing growing up.

Tattoos have been forbidden by the Church for many, many centuries, no?  Piercings were never as popular as tattoos, so not sure if there's a clear answer on this one.

As for the Little Flower wearing earrings, is it not perhaps the case that she wanted others to think she was vain?  This is not uncommon with the saints, and she had a very mature spiritual life at a very young age.

Anonymous posting for the most part is very silly and cowardly.  Why is this an anonymous post?
