Nose piercings.?

DJ Maxx doesn't seem to know what he is talking about.

Seriously, people shouldn't reply if they are just making things up.

Yes they can get infected. Some people are more prone to infections. I've had friends with a bunch of piercings that healed up fine and their nose didn't. But they are in the minority. For me, my nose piercing was one of the easiest piercings to heal (along with lip, monroe, nape, and lobes).

It didn't hurt that bad at all. It was more of a bit of a discomfort feeling. A quick pinch and then it was over and done with. It bled a little bit and I'd have to clean dry blood off of it for the next week. The healing was a bit more painful than the initial piercing. But it wasn't intolerable pain, at all.

Generally, they aren't that noticeable. I've had a lot of people not even notice mine because it is such a small little stud on your nose. A lot of jobs even allow them now.

My advice? Go to a good piercer that knows what they are doing. Follow aftercare correctly and take care of it. Don't opt for a cheap place nor cheap jewelry. Cheap generally doesn't mean a good thing when you're putting holes in your body.

I just got my nostril pierced today, and I am a pansy when it comes to pain, but I found it to be not that bad. It was a 5-second pain-just breathe in, and it goes in. It made my eye water up a little, but so far so good.

Part of what you want to do is find a reputable place to go. The place I went to, part of the form I filled out was signed afterwards, and it meant that I saw the piercer changing gloves multiple times, sterilizing the products, washing hands before and after, sterilizing all countertops, throwing the needle in the proper container, etc. I did a lot of online research beforehand and the place I chose happened to be one of the top-rated places in the city. I would advise that if you live in a bigger city, you use CitySearch or a cityguide and find online reviews of the various places because a website can say one thing but real people is a different kettle of fish.

I'd advise getting a 14 or 18K gold stud, because for me it helps with the healing. After talking with a friend at a jewelry store, and telling her about my dilemma (my triple holes for awhile always felt infected without being infected), she suggested that I might have a zinc problem, but when I wear 14K gold or higher grade, I don't have problems. Of course I can't exactly tell you how different it is for a nose stud as I've had it for less than 6 hours now, but I hope for the best.

Also follow the aftercare instructions to a T. Most good places will give you some non-iodized sea salt to which you'll add 4 teaspoons to a gallon of water for a soak. Also avoid using any cotton products around your piercing because the fibers could get caught on the stud.

Of course there are risks of infection, and many people I know who took it out and got it redone say that it hurts more the second time. However if you follow the aftercare instructions as they are written, you shouldn't have many problems.

I've heard that they're the least painful piercing, but it depends on the person.

The risks are the same with anything else, if you clean it like you're supposed to and go to a good and sterile tattoo shop, it'll probably be fine. Even if it does get infected, all you have to do is keep cleaning it until the infection goes away.

I've never had mine pierced, but I know people who have and theirs all healed up fine.

My advice is to find the best tattoo/piercing shop around. If it costs less than 30 dollars, I wouldn't trust that shop to be honest.

Just keep cleaning it like you're supposed to and listen to your piercer and everything should work out.

It hurts for maybe 5 seconds and then that's it. I just got mine recently done and I figured it would hurt alot more but it didn't... They will probably pierce it with a curved bar which it's ok but I'd rather have the straight one but they said this one is the best. Whatever you do when you get ready to dry your face off for whatever reason be careful and don't yank on the pierceing tapping it dry does alot better. I got mine stuck and I freaked out I thought I was going to have to take it out sooner than I wanted..But you'll really enjoy the piercing it's alot of fun. you just look down and see this lil diamond shining....it's awesome! I'm looking forward to getting my tounge pierced!

If you go to a clean, reputable tattoo/piercing shop and follow your aftercare instructions to the letter, you won't have any problems with infection. I've had mine for over five years and never had one infection. I've taken it out for periods of time and never had a scar. It didn't hurt when I got it, either. You just have to go to a good piercer with a good reputation who works in a sterile shop.

Also, if you end up regretting it later, you can take your jewelry out and no one will ever know you had the piercing in the first place!

OMG! do not do it!! I got my nose pierced anf it was a horrible painful and heidious experience!!!! I got an infection in my nose from it 2

I got my nose pierced a week ago. I was super nervous and they used a needle. he told me to take a deep breath & once it was in i was surpised because i didn't feel it. it doesn't hurt as much as people said it does on here. lol. i'm saying this and i can't handle pain at all

Don't listen to DJ Maxxx, he's a mod hater.

make sure the nose ring stands out or else it just looks like a pimple

Almost 90% of them get infected.

They attract attention to your nose ???

(If you have a nice nose it will be ruined)

(If you have a big nose it will look bigger)

It will leave a scar....

It really , really hurts.
