It is ridiculous to assume that a person who simply wants to remain creative in their appearance is automatically, or even likely to be, rebellious.
The fact that your clients may not like it is possibly a good enough reason for your own interests. But, only if you have an extremely conservative and uptight client base.
Your observations about who is successful in this world in relation to this nose ring are shallow and naive.
Advice to the original poster: If you can afford to be passed up by some employers, I'd keep the ring in. You'll be most successful at a company that is more liberal in their outlook anyway. |

While it is a fact of human nature that we base our opinions often on first impressions, the narrow-minded are the ones that will be offended by your ring.
Look at people such as Pat Croce (owner of Phil. 76'ers), Mark Cuban (Dallas Mavericks), Dennis Rodman, Allen Iverson, Jesse Ventura, etc... and you will see people who refused to let unconventional approaches stop them from acheiving success.
I too have piercings and I've usually removed them for job interviews so as to not create distractions and I've found that once I'm hired and employers observe my work ethic and ability they are usually willing to overlook something as frivilous as rings.
Never allow someone else to dictate your individualism or you will be destined to become another tired, old, unhappy, broken spirit.
