Does getting your nose pierced hurt?

Ok I am getting mine done for my birthday and I was wondering how bad the piercing hurts. I don't really care about the after I am just scared about the needle part. Does it hurt worse than getting your ear cartlidge pierced or about the same? Cause I have gotten that done plus both ears.

    Ear cartilage hurts worse, I have both so I am speaking from experience. Good luck, and happy birthday.

    well it probably hurts the same. your nose is cartilage. and it depends where you got your cartilage pierced adn with what? a gun or a needle?

    i dont have my nose pierced but i have a few cartilage piercings done with a needle. and it hurts. but the process is very quick

    it will most liekly feel like your cartilage. a quick hard pinch and burning..

    good luck and just take great care of it!

    It hurt more then my tongue did! Only because there are less nerve endings in your tongue I think. Your nose will swell up and the inside will feel really gross.... :( HOWEVER it is very quick and does heal quite quickly... Just make sure you take care of it - nose piercings have a bigger chance of getting infected then cartilage piercings!

    Source(s): I cut out my nose ring after I had it for a year - job interview, did it with pliers :P Still have the tongue ring though....

    My friend described it to me as getting punched in the nose. It hurts for a couple of minutes and your eyes tear up but you soon get over it. It looks super cute though!

    I got mine done and was very surprised that it DID NOT hurt.

    Nope, Doesnt hurt at all, Infact I think it hurt less then getting my lobes and cartalidge pierced.It doesnt really hurt afterwords either unless you bump it.

    Depending on your pain tolerance,

    i did mine myself, and it was pretty hard,

    but no they pain isnt that bad, not enough to

    yell about.

    Its quick.
