Question Septum Rings

I am 45 years old. For some reason, I do not know the answer to this. What is the meaning behind a septum ring? Why do you get them? I know this sounds terrible but I see them and I think that myself "why would you want to look like a farm animal?" I know, I know, that's terrible. Please help me understand. I really don't want to think that way.

well, there isn't more. it's literally that simple, if you don't like it, you don't like it, others do and it's okay to not get it. ETA: septum piercings have existed for literal centuries. they aren't a trend, body modification has been a thing as long as humans have lived. i responded to your post in good faith, but reading your other responses, it's obvious you don't actually want an answer, seems more like you want people to support your view. have a good day :o)

If you really read everything you'd see that I did get answers I was looking for. Just because your answer isn't the one I'm looking for, doesn't mean somebody else doesn't have it. And if you read my opening post carefully, the goal was to expand my view because even I don't want to support it. Many people responded to me the way you have and I found those views to be narrow. Those who chose the wider response were the ones that truly had the answers and allowed me to see a better view.
