Gay nose piercing

A left nose piercing may relate to one’s sexual orientation. While you should never speculate on someone’s sexual orientation based on which side of their nose they have pierced, some people on TikTok pierce the left side to indicate they are heterosexual or bisexual.

Piercing on the right side of the nose for guys has mostly been associated with identification as a homosexual. Earlier, one could pierce on either side without necessarily trying to symbolize their gender.
