I had my eyebrow done with a needle and it didn't hurt at all. Unfortunately I wear a stud with a screw on end through that and have caught it on a jumper - that is total agony wink

lol tis okay
I am definitely having it done with a needle and a ring
Maybe shouldn't have mentioned that! If you have a ring it really, really won't ever happen.

'earring point stuck in my septum'
<faints clean away>
LilTulip At a guess the person who did mine was more used to doing ears so they just set the gun up the same way, stud in the front and back on the back.

I don't think mine would have stayed in without a back on though as I do quite often catch it on things. Also I would've forgotten it was there, blown my nose and ended up with an earing point stuck in my septum...

trinity - if you have it done properly none of these things will happen so please don't panic smile

NOnono - the Rhino has Purple in her hair (or she did) - not pink

I am quite liking the thought of a nipple piercing meself
Oh trin... step away from the piercings, you mad girl...

You'll be shoving pink streaks in your hair next. Then it'll be those star tattoos on your wrists or ankles..

Slippery slope...

grin

lol at shineon and fimbo

he was teasing me

and I am going to get it done grin
If I had tattoos or nose piercings my dh wouldn't have ever spoken to me. I think he is still horrified by the fact I had my ears pierced twice (although I never ever wear the 2nd ones)
I agree with your DH.

You could possibly get away with it if you're about 18. Even then it looks horrible.

Same goes for tattoos. Hideous. Recall a thread a while back describing those ones on the lower back as ' Arse Antlers ' which I thought was genius.

I do have two tattoos but they hidden, regretted and look daft!
i had all my piercings before meeting dp.

he claims 'piercings aren't my thing, i just don't understand the point... but you're are cool and sexy' hmm

not sure what the point in posting the bit of randomness was.. except maybe to say he might like it more than he thinks if you do get it done

I have two nose piercings on the same side and both done with a gun (had them since i was 17). This was no worse than getting ears done. The thought of a needle shoved through my nose doesn't sound very appealing

drowninginclutter Why on earth did they put the back on a nose piercing mine stayed in well without the need, There is no way on earth you could possibly get it off with two fingers.

I like little ones,especially the gemstones in white. They look nice no matter what age you are. Not keen on rings though, If you want it Definitly go for it.smile
Do not get it pierced with a gun! Needle is much better!

I got my nose pierced when I was 16 years old, about a week after I first met the man who became my DH.

I love having it, and wouldn't change it for the world. I have 9 piercings, would love more, but now DH is digging his heels in.... we're both getting older and more responsible.

hmm

Two rongs don't make a ring..

Oh lord, time for bed...grin
It sooooo does not hurt, a little eye watering at the most, about the same amount of pain or less as ear piercing.

I must just be ^well ard!^

Rings do look cool. grin

I would have mine redone but where i have Fibromyalga but nose is constantly bright red and i don't want to draw atention to it.

Rongs look shit. Rings look great!
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sat 04-Jul-09 23:01:27
Er, it soes hurt, quite a lot!

Worth it, though, I think it looks great. Rongs better than studs, IMO.

thanks drowning smile

I have wanted it done since I was 16 but instead I put 4 holes ion one hole and 3 in the other
I was scared to and my parents would not have liked it but now I can do what I like but I didn't see the point of doing something that dh thinks is icky

bastard for teasing me, I'm all excited now thaough smile
Are you giving him the hmm look? It is sometimes needed when DP/Dh's think they are hilarious and are in fact not........
Definitely have it done with a needle if you have the choice. I had mine done with a gun and the back was put on waaay too tight. I had to get it out with a pair of tweezers in the end.

Nearly 15 years on I still love my nose piercing though so it was kind of worth it smile

thanks titsalina

I will be finding somewhere reputable that wiullo use a gun

I went with a mate to get his nipple pierced somwhere near us and I liked the look of the whole place and procedure than
I will take a look there again

dh still thinks he's hilarious hmm
Don't get it done with a GUN! Its best to have a needle otherwise the hole will be to big and a Gun is not as accurate as a needle.

It doesn't hurt much at all.

Go to a tattoist or Body cutomiser that can give you reviews. Make sure they are clean and give you info before having it done.

smile

fair enough mintyy
that is your view and I respect that
I am not married to you so I'm not going to offend you if I get it done

I have decided that it matters to me what my dh thinks iyswim

I dont like mototrbikes so I wouldn't dh (49) to get a motorbike

oh my god
why?

sorry I am drunk
but that is scary in a boring, gross way

I say this ti you because i know you are strong enough to take it an dtalk to me about it

what is your reasining?
do you have any ohters?
Bosd?, body, even grin
Lots of tattoo places do bosd piercing. I think it is recommend you have your nose done with a needle and not a gun.

It won't hurt much, just make your eyes water I should think
what is wrong with a man getting a motorbike????
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sat 04-Jul-09 22:46:51
Women beyond their teens getting nose piercings done just says "mid life crisis" to me, sorry. Now don't get huffy, just giving my honest opinion smile.

we have both had a bit to drink and he says he was just teasing me

I have just told him he's a knob and he is giggling on the floor with the dog climbing all over him

humph
bar steward but quite funny I guess

so where can I get it done and how much does it hurt??

is it right that you can get it done with a needle iunstead of a gun?

I will get my tatt soon

ah don't do it if he finds it unattractive. How would you like it if he had a "Prince Albert".

On second thoughts, don't answer that grin
Add message | Report | Contact poster By Sat 04-Jul-09 22:33:33
Im with your DH I think they are very unattractive,
I want mine done as well but my Dh also doesn't like it.

I think I will be getting mine done in the summer anyway. I have wanted it done for years and have always held off because he is not keen on them.

I think once it is actually done he will be ok about it, she says in denial grin
