The bible says something about Rebekah (spelling?), Abraham's wife having a nose ring. In the middle eastern countries nose piercing is a symbol of beauty and fertility. I suppose it all depends on why you want it. Just for beauty, or to rebel?

Genesis 24:47 - Rebekah, Isaac's wife, is given a nose ring. The Bible never condemns nose piercings. I just got one. :-)

Of course it is ok for a Christain to get their nose pierced, or any other body part that would not involved private parts of your body that you should not expose to other people. How you look or dress has nothing at all to do with what makes you a Christain. Excepting Christ as yo and Savior.

Your body is a temple of God. Mutilating it in any form is not pleasing to God.

The Bible says nothing about piercings, so whether it's "okay" depends on what your specific church or denomination says. Some faiths proscribe things -- even dancing -- not because they're sinful themselves, but because the church leaders believe they could lead to sin.

I am Christian and i have never heard anything against getting your nose pierced. In my church, there are several people who have their nose pierced. If you want one, go for it!

I believe that anyone who wants to get their nose pierced should be able to, no matter what religion they happen to be. The bible says nothing about pierceing.

Leviticus 19 says not to pierce your body.

What does God say? Does he think it will make you prettier and improve his handiwork? Or did he lie when he said he made you Perfect?
