There was no rule against piercings in the 141, yet they were quite dangerous to have on the battlefield. This is why Price was curious when he noticed you had a new one.

You had a lot of ear piercings which you did yourself, which honestly grossed Price out. Sure, they looked nice, but voluntarily stabbing yourself with a needle seemed strange to him.

You decided to do a nose piercing because why the fuck not. You also did this yourself, since piercing shops were unnecessarily expensive.

You had some downtime between missions and were sat in your barrack, preparing your nose. You put the needle through, then a knock on your door pulled you away from your task. You told whoever it was to come in, and Price entered. You saw him in the reflection of your mirror and turned around, needle still in your nose.

Price is looking down at a file. “I just need you to sign-“ he looks up and pauses when he sees the needle in your nose. “Uh.. are you- should I come back?”
