Why do people get their noses pierced?

Nose Piercing History

Although nose piercing is largely done as a means of ornamentation these days, it has deeper meaning for other cultures. Some nomadic peoples in Africa assess the wealth of a family by the size of a woman's nose ring. In India, piercing the left side of the nose is supposed to make childbirth easier and lessen menstrual pain.
