I've had my nose pierced since I was 12 and I'm lost without it. It didn't hurt at all, it just ached afterwards...
I don't regret my nose piercing one little bit, and it's staying with me til I die.

You wish you were that lucky.
She asked for peoples' opinions on nose piercings, I gave her mine - so what's the problem?
Oh, and I find your opinion offensive.

You'd need to get it drunk first for sure.
And if you found that offensive: tough shit. You're as well unplugging your internet connection and staying indoors for the rest of your life.
*agrees*
*shoots pikeys* *grins*
does it hurt when you blow your nose?
Still hurts sometimes if the stud gets knocked out or if you're changing it.
I only think it looks pikey on pikeys. I'm not pikey in the slightest, it totally depends on your face and your style as to whether it's gonna suit you or not. Admittedly it can look rank but it can look really nice.
agreed.
i had one for a wee while, but took it out cause it wouldn't heal properly.
some people loved it, some hated it. same as anything else.
mine didn't hurt cause i went straight after going to the dentist, and my whole face was numb. but the piercer said it was a good job, cause most people think it hurts like hell.
and i think they look more hippy than pikey.
are u planning to get it done with needle or gun.if ur getting a ring ul need it done with a needle which will hurt more bt if ur just gettin a stud(which i personally prefer) id advise choosin the gun as it hurts much less!(+is cheeper)
i tend to wear lil gem studs no bigger than 2mm across or a lil cute cross 1 iv got.i think nose piercings look nice bt only if they are small+subtle(thats just my opinion though)
hope iv been of some use
argh!
piercing guns are ONLY designed to pierce earlobes, and aren't much good at that. you should never get your nose pierced with a gun, and i don't know of any properly approved piercing shops round here that even give you the option.
they're unhygeinic, promote infection and poor healing, and the studs used in them are not suitable for the delicate tissue of the nostril.
the only jewellery you should wear in a nostril piercing is a stud designed for the nose (nostril screw) or a ring.
and for the record, needle piercing hurts a lot less than gun piercing, cause it slices quickly and cleanly through your skin, instead of tearing through it the way the gun does.
and as for it being cheaper, i got mine pierced with a needle and it cost £9. if you're paying any less than that i'd be very concerned about the quality of the jewellery and the skill of the piercer.
I think they look nice aslong as they are only little things not like something hanging from your nose.
always a question aswel, which side of your nose, left or right?
ah well im a lucky bugger then.i got it done in local tatt place+my nose has healed fine+iv no worries with it.I wouldnt have wanted it done with a needle
I couldn't do that to mine *pines over piercing*
How could you?! lol

Usually guys look twerps..but it went well.
Small and descrete is the key to a sexy piercing.
I've provided nothing useful. Sorry.
