Nose piercings Update post 1!

Honestly, what do you think of them? I have wanted my nose pierced for a long time, but I keep going back and forth. I think that my face is the proper shape to pull it off, but I'm not sure if the little lump I have from breaking my nose would make it look funny. Hubby and I are going out on a date tomorrow night and I MIGHT ask him to take me then if I can work up the courage. I figure if I can get my tongue pierced in Japan by a guy who doesn't speak a whole lot of english then I shouldn't have a problem getting my nose pierced here with my husband holding my hand. :D
Thoughts? Concerns?

I have a narrow nose, so unfortunately it is just going to stick out a little bit until I can switch to a smaller bar. It hurt worse than my tongue but not as bad as my ear cartilage. We forgot to bring the camera to the studio with us, but I snapped some pictures once we got home.

I think they're great! I want to get mine pierced. I like the little bitty ones, that almost look like freckles. ;) But, yeah...I think they're very pretty!

I think they look cool, depending if they suit your personality, and if they're the small, cute ones.

There's just a few things I worry about. Colds. Boogers. What happens when you blow your nose?? Does it get all gunky on the inside?? Seriously! It would freak me out!!


My former homebound student has her lip pierced. Twice. She's got snake bites. She's also 14. And, mom just let her get 2 tattoos. Ugh.

I've had my nose pierced for 3 years now. Always wanted to, finally did it. I am so glad I did. To answer some questions you might have:

Yes, it hurt, it was very painful for about 3 seconds, then done
I clean it EVERY day, even 3 years later, as it does collect "stuff" on the inside
You will learn an entirely new way to blow your nose

If you really want it done, I'd say go for it.

I want one of the those little bitty ones, just to add a little bit of sparkle, but I'm not sure what size they can pierce with???

That is crazy about the 14 year old girl :eek::eek: I thought that you have to be 16 with parental consent to get those types of piercings or any tatoos. Crazy!

I'm hoping that the pain will be like that with my tongue. Very quick and then it felt almost numb for a while. Does it swell a lot? WIll I look like rudolph for a while? Boogers are a minor concern of mine...:eek:

Wow! You have your tongue done?! (It's always those quiet looking types....;)). I think if you can get your tongue done, almost anything would be less painful. My one friend had her nipples and her tongue done on the same night. OUCH. One of my other friends had a piercing done lower, and said she really likes it :eek: . Don't know if I'd ever venture to have that one done!! I'd blush:o for weeks just thinking about getting my nipples done, lol.


I think I'd rather have a lip piercing than a nose piercing. Boogers happen to be high on my list of worries, lol. I'm always sneezing and blowing my nose with my allergies.

That child has so many issues, and the family has so many issues... I'm just amazed at what they get away with. I've reported things(and I mean MAJOR issues), and nothing ever happens. So much for our school district and our county children and youth department. :(

Go for it. You have the perfect nose for it too.

Agreed. :)

Your mother thinks they are cute and would suit your face - a pretty little sparkle tucked into the side:D

I say go for it. I've had mine for ummm like 4 or 5 years now. It wasn't really anything... the actual piercing didn't really hurt, but them putting the ring in after it was pierced did... but it wasn't that bad. I also had my tongue pierced once and I didn't really think that hurt at all.
I didn't have any swelling or redness when I pierced my nose. Make sure you post pics when you get it done. :)

I've actually wanted a septum piercing for a while.

I'd worry about blowing my nose, as I have allergies and people get colds, but that's just me. My other concern would be it just looking like a permanent zit when there's no earring in it ... but if you plan to always have that sparkly bit there, that'd cover it ...

Aha! I'm not the only one who has booger worries, lol!!

I had a friend who had a nose piercing, and it got infected. OMG... it was sooooo gross looking. It looked like some nasty MRSA infection.

I think you'd look cute with a little stud. :)


I've wanted my septum as well, but chickened out. Evetually, I WILL get something pierced... hopefully my ears and I'll guage them.

Funny, I can sit through 4+ hours for tattoos but am scared to get pierced. :rolleyes:
