My daughter’s school put her in isolation for her nose piercing – we couldn’t care less so I pierced the other side too
A MUM has hit out at her the way her daughter’s school has treated her over her nose piercing in a defiant way.
Tink’s daughter Ruby is no stranger to being pulled up in school, and issues that have caused a stir among teachers include her coloured hair, her nails, the length and material of her skirt and her piercings.
As well as getting detentions, and Tink receiving calls from the school, Ruby has also been put in isolation.
And that has happened despite the fact that Ruby now just has a clear retainer in the hole – meaning it’s barely visible on her nostril.
So, in another act of defiance towards the school, Tink decided to grant Ruby’s request to have the other side of her nose pierced too.
“These two, my lovely niece and my daughter have decided they want their nose pierced,” she said in a video on her TikTok page.
“So, Sunday afternoon, guess what I’m doing? I’m piercing their nose!”
She then went on to mark the girls up, before doing the actual piercing.
Concluding the video, as she said: “They’re both pierced with clear retainers.
“Ruby’s nose stud that she’s got in the other side is fully healed now.
“So she does take it out completely for school.
“She’s got a retainer in that side and there’s no top to it either.
“So it won’t be distracting or anything for anyone.”
In another TikTok, Tink showed just how invisible the retainer was, as Ruby came up close to the camera.
The 12-year-old admitted she couldn’t even see it herself, while people in the comments section said they had mistakenly thought the freckle on the other side of her nose was the piercing.
“They target certain kids I swear!!!!” one wrote.
“Bruh I didn’t even know she had one in,” another insisted.
“And I didn’t see it when she got the closest!”

“Can’t see the nose stud at all,” a third commented.
“It’s ridiculous for the nose studs,” someone else said.
“Nah seriously it’s crazy!” another said.
Tink also said that there was another girl in the class who had a very visible nose piercing who didn’t get pulled up on it.
