Do you know what real sense of piercing is in the nose? You'll be surprised.

It is already a very common practice in Western lands and is used by many girls who want to look modern.

But in lands where this practice was born, especially in India and surrounding areas, the earring in the nose or other parts of the body, represents something sacred and specific for one person.

It literally serves to recognize and identify that it belongs to a group or social standing.

The earring in Indian civilization shows that a female is old enough to marry, or married to someone, so she cannot be harassed.

So if in the west, something modern seems to be sending a message in other cultures.
