There is no reason given for his nose stud. Tupac Shakur was one of the very first men in the spotlight to wear a nose ring. Piercings were just becoming mainstream then, and for a man to be wearing a facial piercing was pretty daring.
Of interest, following the steep asking price for the BMW that Tupac Shakur was murdered in, his handwritten lyrics and a love letter from jail, there's now yet another item from the collection of worldly possessions the iconic emcee left behind that fans can soon own.
It is beginning to appear as though when it comes to selling off the items that Tupac owned at one point or another during his lifetime, there are no limits. That also includes his infamous nose stud now being added to the mix. Find out how much is the asking price of the nose stud and where it is available at BET.com.
