Nose piercing!

[Somethingsnappy]

Is it very painful to get your nose pierced? Would like someone to share experiences! I'd love to do it. But I'm nervous!

YES it’s a thick old bit of skin! Hurt a lot! Wish I hadn’t let mine grow over as I want it done again but know the pain now 😭

I've had mine done twice and it makes your eyes water but like most piercings the pain passes quickly

I had mine pierced with a gun when I was 14, it hurt worse than any other piercing I've had.

I had it done with a needle, actually twice, the first one healed up. Yes it hurt but not crazy badly. My DD had hers done too and also thought ok.

I've never had an infection in mine. Healed really quickly

[quote VanCleefArpels]@pastypirate she’s got a ring - reluctant to change it for any kind of stud 🤷🏻‍♀️[/quote]
If she changes to a stud for a while I bet the infections will clear up. A ring is a larger surface area and moves around the piercing site more. My piercer told me not to put a ring in until completely healed which for cartilage can take anything from 2-4 months.

I had mine done with a needle years ago and it was fine, nowhere near as bad as expected.

I'm West Midlands OP and use Funky Flesh tattoo in Stonnall (near Walsall). The piercer there is called Faye and she's brilliant, very no-nonsense but still kind and lovely to talk to.

Had mine done at a specialised piercing studio. Literally stung for the second the needle went through. Has a bit of external scar growth during during first 12 weeks. Piercer advised care and its all healed beautifully. Had the jewellery changed FoC by the piercer first time. Now I do it myself.

Go for it! I'm 40 BTW.

I had mine done and swore very loudly.

Definitely a huge overreaction on my part. It wasn't particularly painful I have just worked myself up

I didn’t think it hurt as bad as getting my tragus and helix pierced. But it was a little bit eye watering. I left it well alone for 8 weeks and it healed fine, I’ve never had an infection.
Get it done with a needle and choose a stud not a ring.

Mine was no worse than getting ears done, but did take a long time to heal. Wouldn't get it done again as now I have hayfever, so it would be an absolute arse in summer.

I had mine done last year at blue banana (I think they are all over the UK ) in Wolverhampton.

Made my eyes water but was over within seconds . It was a bit tender for a week or 2 but settled quickly .

I change my stud often without any pain , the only time it still aches a bit is if I have flung my stud out in my sleep ( happens more often than you would think!) and i almost need to force a stud in as it does start to close up within a few hours .

Do it , love mine and I'm old

I have mine done twice - two in the same nostril. First time was more painful, second was a much more skilled piercer and much better experience!

I'm 52 and had mine done at the end of October. I had it done with a needle, it hurt like a bugger and made my eyes water but was over relatively quickly. Like a pp I've had a few minor infections in it, but they generally clear up with salted water. I must admit I've been tempted to tcp it to see if that stops the blasted thing.
I had a gold stud as I'm allergic to nickel. Overall I love it, but can't wait for it to heal properly.
