I'm a biracial (black&white) male travelling to Eastern Europe. Should I be worried about my nose piercing?

Lots of Europeans have piercings; most likely no one will even notice or care.

No one will care about either

What kind of question is that? I know plenty of slave with nose piercings

What is wrong with you?

It's hilarious that so many American think Eastern Europe is still stuck in the sovietic times. This sub is full with this kind of question

I am really hoping that your original comment was a typo and you meant to say Slavs.

Oh God that was an awful typo, you're completely right. I will amend it right away. I didn't want to come across as racist, I'm just done with people assuming Eastern Europe is still stuck in the 60s whereas it's quite safe

The bigger cities have a very stylish younger population, saw absolutely fabulous street fashion. You’ll fit right in. At the risk of generalising, once you leave the cities folks have no interest in tourists. If you feel they aren’t friendly because of your ring, don’t worry. They aren’t friendly with anyone! (I say this with love, adored my time there and am happy being ignored).

Thanks for the helpful answer. People can take an example to your approach.

You will be denied at border control and they will rip that straight off your nose.
No, of course not! Nobody gives a fook!!

I love how obvious it is that international solo travel is just picking up in the US. The kind of questions here get worse (or better because they’re funny?) every day!

I love how you immediately assume that I'm from the US. I'm European. You could've just ignored this post entirely, yet you chose to be a turd about it. Great job bro.
My reason for asking is because I, being biracial and queer, have to spend at least some energy in making sure that I'm not an unwanted guest. Racism and queerphobia are actual issues, y'know?
I later asked the same questions to some Romanian/Polish acquaintances and they actually gave me helpful advice. Try doing better.

I don’t know where you’re coming from, but Eastern Europeans have seen people with piercings before…we even have running water and escalators too!
Does.......does eastern europe also have sky?
