I'm in my 50s and have had a nose ring since I was 24 years old, so over half my life. I used to have 3 levels of ear piercing, but the only one I have left is the one on the upper cartilege of my left ear. On rare occasions I'll wear earrings in my original piercing locations, but only special occasions. The nose ring, however? Always has something in it, whether it's a barbell stud or a hoop.
It's SO commonplace now as to not even be a conversation anymore. Same goes for men having ears pierced. It's not "code" for anything - it's just personal choice to have them or not. My daughter is almost 20 and does not intend to pierce her ears.

You know how you are supposed to keep your ear piercings and earrings clean, right? How on Earth do you keep your nose piercing clean? Maybe I don’t want to know, actually…
Why do you just wear the one, upper earring now? Are the other piercings difficult, as they are closing up? I’ve found that if I don’t keep wearing earrings constantly, the holes start to heal up. I read somewhere, that they try to heal up if you are wearing metals you could be allergic to.
I can’t seem to wear gold or silver anymore - they make me itch. So I’ve been wearing titanium or niobium earrings. These metals are hypoallergenic, so I’ve been wearing them constantly, without any problems.

I drop my nose ring into hydrogen peroxide for a bit when I clean it. I've been told that you shouldn't use HP, but I do and have had no issues in the 25+ years I've had the piercing.
On my ear lobes, the three "extra" piercings have mostly closed up - I got them when I was in my 20s and in my early 30s went from wearing tons of jewelry to only my wedding ring, my upper earring and my nose ring. So those holes that I only had for 8-10 years quickly starting closing up. I do have the original ones I got when I was 13, though.
The one upper barbell earring is kind of "out of sight out of mind" - I never take it out and therefore never think about it.
I've had my nose ring for many years. It's not a stud, it's a full on ring. And as soon as I get the chance this year, I'm gonna pierce my septum. My little gift to ME, myself and I. Life's too short for me to worry about what strangers think of me.
it depends which kind of piercing it is
I mean I don't like when girls have nose piercing like a small cristal on one side of the nose, however I like how a ring looks in the septum
It looks awful to me too. I would never date someone who had them. This is a broad generalization, but I think it's true: they just want to call attention to themselves, and show that they belong to a particular societal cult that does this to their bodies for one reason or another.
