Why are facial piercings (like nose rings) considered forbidden in Judiasm?

Hi all, I’ve been wondering about this for a while. I grew up hearing from my mom that facial piercings, like nose rings, are not allowed in Judaism, but whenever I asked her why, I never got an answer that fully explained the reasoning or source behind it.

Is there a halachic basis for this prohibition? Is it more of a cultural norm in certain communities, or does it stem from a specific ruling or principle in Jewish law? I’d love to understand where this comes from, both in terms of halacha and hashkafa, if relevant.

Thanks in advance. Sorry if that’s been asked before. I also know that piercings in the lobules are more acceptable. Why?
