Nose piercings Update post 1!

Only titanium or surgical grade steel for my piercings. I can get away with wearing 14k gold posts in my ear lobes, but even that hurts after a while.
I had the upper cartilage of my ear pierced once upon a time but I was dumb enough to get it done with a gun. It NEVER healed properly and I took it out years ago... If I'm feeling crazy I may get both done tonight. I know that getting the piercing done properly with a sterilized hollow needle will make for a much better healing experience

Not my thing but if it's something you really thought out and want it then go for it. I had my ears pierced yrs ago by my pcp and I wore earrings all the time. I haven't bothered with earrings for a log time now, bet the holes are healed over by now.

I had my upper ear cartlige pierced with a gun and have never had any issues with it, neither did my daughters.

My oldest has done her nose, buggers to get stuck on it. She doesn't complain about it at all so I guess it doesn't bother her.
