I had my nose pierced at a reputable place in 2022 and had it for less than a year before I decided to take it out. It was really painful when they pierced it and it hurt like a B every single time I had to clean it.
Anyway, I had it re pierced at Claire’s a week ago (I know, I know). Terrible decision? Maybe. BUT, it has been such a better experience than the first time. It hardly hurt when she did it, and honestly there’s been zero pain since. No crusty stuff when I clean it like there was the first time (for months) and it just doesn’t hurt at all.
However they did use an arrowhead type bar to pierce it, meaning there’s a super sharp thing just chillin in the inside of my nose. When I clean it I have to hold it to stop the bar slipping right out. So my question is, would I ruin the whole zero pain thing and irritate the piercing, cause an infection etc if I switched the jewellery to something that seems a bit safer? As I said I think it’ll come right out no problem, and I’m scared I’ll knock the piercing and get the inside of my nose stabbed with the current jewellery. I’m pretty confident I could easily get a new bar in with no problem, and I would then just leave it with that jewellery. Thoughts?
