Facial piercings in Riyadh.Will I get into problems or end in jail?

Post new topic

While I was in the UK recently, I decided to get my septum pierced (small bullring in the middle of nose) without any thought to acceptability in Saudi Arabia.
I'm back here now, in Riyadh, and I'm wondering if having this facial piercing will cause any offence or even land me in jail!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi!

Not at all. I'm a Filipino who worked in a hospital sporting a nose piercing (just a stud) and an eyebrow bar. The nose stud is pretty common but septum rings and eyebrow bars are pretty rare. My boss of course frowned upon the eyebrow bar thingie but technically, there wasn't any rule that says I can't wear it so you know, whatever. Enjoy it!

There are also a lot of shops who offer body/facial piercings so it can't be illegal. (I think)
