‘Tam Tam with a Nose Ring?’: Fans Love the New Face Jewelry Tamera Mowry Debuted on Instagram

Tamera Mowry is shocking her fans with a new addition to her face. She posted three photos on Monday, Feb. 1, looking stunning, with her hair neatly styled in a sleek fishtail braid. Looking like she has a fresh face, Mowry appears to be wearing subtle makeup and some eyelashes. As for her outfit, she is wearing a beige long-sleeved turtleneck top and some jeans while capturing herself smiling pleasantly in the photos.

In her caption, she wrote, “SASSY but OH so CLASSY 💕💅🏽💋 #mondaymood ⁣Hair: @provocativehair Make-up: Me 🤗⁣@fentybeauty everythang,” revealing the details of her look.

But what made fans do a major double take is the nose ring that appears to be on Mowry’s right nostril.

“Tam tam with a nose ring?! We love to se it 🥰 so pretty,” one fan said. Someone else said, “Loving the nose ring Tam Tam ❤️❤️❤️❤️.”

One person described the “Sister Sister” star as being “Fine & Fancy Lol 😍😍😍😍,” while another said, “Nobody in the world should be this beautiful😭😩. I SAID WHAT I SAID. Alexa play She’s a bad mama jama by Carl Carlton😍‼️”

The jewelry Mowry is wearing may be designed to look like a nose ring, but may not be actually pierced through her skin.

One fan was confused as well, writing, “I’m trying to figure out if the nose ring is fake cuz this picture doesnt look like it has a filter on it 😭😭😭😭😭.”

The 42-year-old also uploaded another photo on Feb. 2 to show a little love to her husband, Adam Housley, and in that photo, she does not appear to have a nose ring on, nor does her nose look pierced. It is not fully clear if the photo was taken before or after she took the previously mentioned photos, but if it is fake maybe Mowry is trying it out to see if she wants the real thing.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
