Nose Piercing!

June 20th, 2008
Nose Piercing!

Woo, I got my nose pierced! :D I had wanted it last week but was suffering from an annoying cold. I didn't think it would be very comfy to be sniffling and whatnot while the piercing was trying to heal!

Yes, it hurt. :P However, the after-shock of the needle is exactly like an ear piercing to be honest. The only part that got to me was when jewelry went in. Nose studs are actually curved at the end of the post (see examples) and it was just how it twisted in that made my eyes water. It is silver so it matches the normal jewelry I wear. :D

It's been about an hour and it's just a dull sensation now. My body has always reacted fine to piercings, so I wasn't really worried anyway. Overall I have each ear pierced in the lobe twice and in the cartilage on the left ear. My navel is also pierced and then I have a tattoo on my right ankle. I'm up for one more tattoo and then I think I'll be done with body art. :)

Please share your piercings, tattoos, and/or experiences with either! My next tattoo may be a guitar with wings. Fits me nicely I think! :goodie:

Looks very nice! :)

TBQ Jun 20, 2008

Looking shwanky!

My friend got her nose pierced when I got my eyebrow done, and she went first. It’s been a year and she still has hers, so you and your piercing should have happy days :heart:

Hee hee, looks good Melissa. I know you have been told this & you know this. But please watch it & keep it clean. Are you going to leave it as a ball stud or change it to another stud once it heals? Just curious.

Megan Jun 20, 2008

YAY! I got my nose pierced last year and I love it :heart:
I also have my lobes 2 times, left cartilage 2 times, right; rook, tragus, and conch, and my naval. No tatoos though :no:

Melissa Jun 20, 2008

Thanks y’all! :D

Are you going to leave it as a ball…

I will probably change it when I can! The guy who did the piercing said that if I wanted to change the jewelry I could come back in a week and he’d do it for free. Not sure if I wanna do that or not, I may just wait the required 6 weeks and then do it myself. :)

Rilla Jun 20, 2008

I don’t much like eyebrow and tongue piercings but I think nose piercings are actually quite cute! Looking good! :D

Arwen Jun 20, 2008

Cute! It looks good on your nose lol.

I have both my ear lobes pierced (2 in the left, 3 in the right). The first set was done at Claire’s, and the rest of them I did myself. I also have my bellybutton pierced (that wasn’t too bad).

I currently have 3 tattoos (back of left shoulder, left deltoid, right above my pubic bone) and the only one that really hurt was the one above my pubic bone, right in the fleshy part where the uterus is. That’s cause the guy was DIGGING into me with the needle. X(

I think I may be done with piercings (I want a labret though) but I am NOWHERE near done with tattoos. I want at least a half sleeve on my left arm, maybe eventually a full sleeve.

Hev Jun 20, 2008

I would wait the six weeks, myself. Just to make sure it is all healed up. But that is just my opinion.

Melissa Jun 20, 2008

Thanks Rilla & Arwen! ^_^

…and the rest of them I did myself.

Whoa, props! I don’t think I would have the courage to do it myself. XD

I want at least a half sleeve on my left arm, maybe eventually a full sleeve.

That sounds really cool! My boss wants a sleeve…well he calls it a “gauntlet”, hehe. I don’t think I’ll get something like that but damn they look cool on people! :D

Veronica Jun 20, 2008

Looks cute :) One of my friends has one, and I’ve seen a few girls at work with them as well but I don’t think I’d look good with one :(

NavyCS Jun 20, 2008

That had to hurt.

Alexandra Jun 20, 2008

Whoa, it looks awesome!!! I can’t wait to get mine now. :goodie:

Jessica Jun 21, 2008

I could not get my nose pierced. It would drive me insane as my nose is so sensitive as it is. But I want my eyebrows, nipples, & more done. I’d love to be covered in tats too. :D Your piercing looks good on you from what I can see.

Vera Jun 21, 2008

That’s that’s… *faints*

It looks good on you (from what I can see :P ). Good on you for resisting. I’d never have been able to do it.

Hanna Jun 21, 2008

It looks great :goodie: .

I really want to get my nose pierced now :D. I have a nipple piercing already and it has been healing really well. Only thing is that I have to wear bras at work and skin of nipple dries, but I have been creaming it with Bepanthen which seems to help a lot. I have been thinking to change the balls later, but I wait until it’s completely healed (I have had it now little over 2 months).

Malin Jun 21, 2008

I’m planning to do a Monroe piercing after my vacation in Spain. I’m looking forward to it! Except for my ears I’ve had both my nose wings pierced and I’ve also had a septum piercing. I miss them all ;)

Marieke Jun 21, 2008

Whohh, it looks lovely on you ^^.
I only have my ears pierced, and at the moment I’m not even considering having any other piercings or tattoo’s… it would hurt my image :P

Aisling Jun 21, 2008

It looks awesome!! I used to have my navel pierced, but it ripped out! And I have my ears pierced, but I don’t wear earrings. And I have the word “dream,” in a sort of antique-font with a star on my left wrist. Next up, I would like an elaborate star/ swirly thing on my right foot/ankle and I’m considering a nipple piercing. :P

Lene Jun 21, 2008

It looks good! :dance:

I’m not big on body piercing, I only have my ears pierced. I got them pierced when I was only a baby. When I was… erm, ‘emo’, I got both of my upper ear cartilages pierced, and then pierced my right lobe three more time myself with a pointy stud (and without ice or anything because ‘the pain was a cool part of it’). X_X

I wanted a nipple piercing back then too but never got it (imagine 15yearold me saying “hey dad, I wanna pierce my boobs!” - although I did tell my bf at the moment and he freaked out).

Erm… I also thought of getting my nose pierced recently. My two little sisters wanted to get it so my mom took them to do the tattoo/piercing shop (she wouldn’t have taken me when I was their age!). When we were at the waiting room my mom told me to get it done myself (aren’t kids supposed to ask the parents?) and I said ‘no’, because it would have too sudden of a decision and I had never really considered it before.

What I do want to get is an industrial piercing, you know, that long thing across your ear :D I’m planning to get it before the summer is over :dance:

Wow… this is a long comment :P

Rachael Jun 21, 2008

Look at that sexy face… :cheer:

Britney Jun 21, 2008

I had my nose pierced before. I cleaned it every day like I was supposed to, but it still got this huge bump on it. Eventually, the bump actually grew over top of the stud. I had to push the stud really hard through the bump/skin (hurt like hell) to get it out, and the torn skin looked disgusting. It healed nicely though. You can’t even tell I ever had it done now.

I have still have my tongue piercing, which I never had a single problem with at all. I guess different areas of your body react differently to jewelry. I know a lot of people who had the same problem I did with my nose though. Hopefully you won’t.

Christine Jun 21, 2008

oh yaya!!!!! ./cheer! i have a nose stud too! i’ve had it a few years and i still have a hard time changing it due to the weird twisty thing, so i hope you have better luck than me ^_^

Lucy Jun 21, 2008

The piercing looks great! I don’t think I’d ever go through with a nose piercing. I’m too much of a wuss. It sounds painful! Plus, I’m always very sickly and have allergies. I’d probably pull on it or something. Meep!

Kristina Jun 22, 2008

It really suits your personality =]
I have no piercings, sadly.
My dad won’t allow me to get my ears pierced ( 8| ) so I’ll have to wait until I’m sixteen.

Vicky Jun 22, 2008

It looks really good! I’m not usually a fan of facial piercings but it really suits you.
:D
I don’t have any piercings or tattoos. I’ve been tempted to get my ears done, but they’re always hidden by my hair anyway.

Stephanie Jun 22, 2008

People have told me I’d look good with a little stud in my nose, but my parents would freak. Actually, my mother admitted to me I would look cute, but she would still freak, haha.

I actually really want a tattoo of a swallow on my lower abdomen, kind of like it’s flying out from my inner thigh. I dunno. I thought it would look cool :X

Can’t wait to see the tattoo, though!!

Shen-Shen Jun 22, 2008

That is so fierce! I love it! :D

I’ve always wanted to do some body art and stuff, but I’m too afraid of pain.. I want to get my belly button pierced… But first I should start with my ears! Would you believe that I don’t even have my ears pierced!? I also kinda want a “tramp stamp” tattoo.. Even though I think they’re sexy and not trashy.

Melissa Jun 22, 2008

That’s really nice, it suits you very well.

I’d love to get my nose pierced but it wouldn’t go down well in work, I even have to ask permission to dye my hair bright red.

Veronica Jun 22, 2008

I went through a piercing stage. I had my tongue done a couple times, my eyebrows, ears multiple times, but after awhile I grew out of that.

I enjoy tattoos more than piercings. I have 4 tattoos, and only my ears pierced now. I think getting something pierced is more painful than tats, because it takes longer to heal lmao

Megan Jun 23, 2008

It looks good. :D I’ve been wanting to get one for a while but my parents won’t let me until I’m eighteen… which they won’t have a say in it then anywho.

I have three ear piercings in each ear, so six ear piercings.

Kim Jun 23, 2008

It looks great! Really suits you.
I have 6 ear piercings and one tattoo myself.

Lauren Jun 23, 2008

That looks wonderful. I just got a lip piercing last week, and once that’s healed I’m after a nose piercing. I’m glad everything when ok for you. My piercer actual gave me the wrong piercing (I wanted a vertical labret and got a horizontal one).

Yos Jun 23, 2008

Oh wow! A piercing :D that’s awesome Mel! :goodie:

Enzo Jun 23, 2008

Oooh…me like it! ^_^

Katie Jun 23, 2008

Your nose is so cute! The piercing looks great! My nose is not suited for a piercing, but I did get my eyebrow redone a couple weeks ago. I have that, 2 piercings in my left lobe, left industrial, 3 in the right lobe, and two tattoos on my back. I want to get shoelaces somewhere but I haven’t decided where yet…
