Katy Perry has revealed that she once pierced her own nose using a piece of ice and a needle, but now regrets the act of teenage rebellion because it left a scar on her nose which people often ask her about. Katy first asked her mother’s permission to get the piercing, but when she was told not to, she waited until her mother left the house and went ahead with her plans anyway:
“I asked my mother permission so I could get my nose pierced. And of course she didn’t give it to me, she said, ‘It was ridiculous and she wasn’t gonna do that.’ So she then went on an errand, so I took a safety pin and a piece of ice and I pierced my own nose…”
When Katy’s mother noticed the piercing, she wasn’t as disapproving as before, but Katy still later regretted her actions because of the ever-present scar which was left behind when she got rid of the piercing later on:
“She saw it (later), she’s like, ‘Oh it’s not as bad as I thought.’ Because it was just a little diamond. But I still have this horrible scar that everybody brings up when they get really close.”
