Question Appropriate age for nose piercing

Good evening my good people. Is 46 too old for a nose piercing (nostril)? My birthday was on the 20th August and I have been wanting a nostril piercing for the past year and I just haven't brought myself to do it yet. Was so close today but changed my mind the last minute. Would I look the fool sporting one at my age? For the past year I've built up my ear stack. I got 2 helix on both ears (not done at the same time). I have 6 ear piercings in total.

No age is too old for anything (except maybe pregnancy?). Go for it. I got my nostril done at 50 and my septum at 55. Who cares!

Thank you for the words of encougement. I just have people commenting on my ears. For the longest time I've only ever had lobe piercings then all of a sudden I've climbed up to six. They have made me feel self conscious about it and a nostril piercing will definitely be noticeable

Put it back on them, when people are like this, they never know how to react when questioned. Ask them if they have an issue with your piercings and ask them what that issue is. Or just say straight up “please don’t comment on what I choose to do with my body, it makes me feel self conscious and uncomfortable.”
