by your coworkers, go right ahead and leave the ring in. Enjoy them laughing at you behind your back. Enjoy them treating you as the office oddity. Enjoy the fact that you will never be taken to a client meeting or new business pitch because they are afraid what the client / prospect will think of you.
On the other hand you could grow the hell up and realize that we all don't get to do what we want at work.

I think that you are just being closed-minded. It really all depends on what type of environment you work in and what department of that company you are in. Sure, if you are in a position where you are with clients all the time, it may be harder to keep a nose ring, but again that depends on the type of clients you deal with.
I worked at an internet development company and one of our designers had his tongue pierced (as do i) and he was not laughed at, and was still brought to client meetings.
This is not 1920. More and more "out there" type things are being accepted. It is just a personal thing that can show a person's individuality. Who's to say that having your nose, tongue, eyebrow, etc. pierced changes your professionalism any more that having your ears pierced?
