How badly do nose piercings hurt?

I really would like to get my nose pierced, but I want to know how much pain to expect. I have a medium to low tolerance for pain. Any replies concerning nose piercing (stories, advice, etc) would be great appriciated!

I JUST got my nose pierced last friday actually. and I was so scared.. I was terrified. but I walked in there and my adrenaline was rushing so bad.. the piercing itself didnt hurt.. it made my eyes water but thats it.. but afterwards I started to pass out, and the piercer had to get me a coke. just dont get too freaked out and excited, and youll be fine. it doesnt hurt a bit. if you decide to get it done, just make sure you take good care of it

It's in the mind. I got my nose pierced at 14. Didn't hurt near as bad as the belly.

I peirced my own. If you tell yourself you want the pain youl be fine!
and.. take a tylenol before you go in.. and put ice on it before you walk in itl hurt less..
if you clean it with soap a lot it should help it from getting infected itsnot
that bad. some people sya it kills some people say it didnt hurt at all!
hope I helped

I guess I disagree with most people on this question. I think that getting the nose pierced hurts quite bad and a lot more than having your ears done. I had my nose pierced three times with a piercing gun. The first time was in 1987 when I was 15 years old and the other two times I got my nose pierced because I had allowed the hole to grow back together.
However, the first time I got it done, I jumped in the chair and yelped loudly, making people turn their heads to see what went on. After the stud went in it stung and burned in my nostril in a way that was not nearly as superficial as when having the ears done. Needless to say, my eyes watered and I was really close to crying both because of the pain and because of the embarrassment of the moment. However it was worth it from the moment I looked in the mirror and saw the stud in my nostril. I think that a diamond stud in the nostril is one of the sexiest things you can wear. I have kept my current pierced hole in my nose for many years now, but in case I had to have it redone, I would not hesitate. It hurt when I had it done, but it is SO much worth it! I hope that you will disagree with me and say that the ears hurt more, once you have had your nose pierced… Good luck with it!!

To Princess Nostalgia..the reason it hurt so bad was because a piercing gun was used. They're not supposed to be used, ever, for anything, including the ears.

Anyway, to answer the original question: It shouldn't hurt worse than a hard pinch for just a second. Your eyes will water a bit, but that's it. The important thing is to find a clean, reputable piercer, and stay relaxed.

I did mine my self it only hurt for a couple of seconds I have to take it out around my parents because they dont know yet

I meant to say my friend not me

it doesn't urt at all apart from a tear may creep out bt yooh wont cry I had mine dun and then I lost it and neva had it dun agen bt I ant my nose and lip piercing and I have medium to low pain tolerance

it dosnt hurt it makes your eyes water but you do that in the shock but you have to be carful after you have it done because its very easy to get infections

just makes your eyes water ...don't hurt though
but that's my advise

look it didnt hurt at all ight dis females dont know what they talkin bout...

IT DONT HURT 2MORROW

I actually got my nose pierced like 30 minutes ago. it was a piece of cake. I was scared though but it was nothing.

it feels just like getting your ears pierced, not to much pain and it took like 2 seconds to pierce it. but do go for it. it was over quicker than I expected.

hope I helped and good luck! :]

I got my nose pierced today and it hurt too much. I was seriously nervous to the point where I felt like I couldnt breath but the woman that did told me when she was going to pierce it and afterwards it stung abit and my eyes watered. Id say that getting my ears pierced was worse and it hurt more. Now my nose feels a bit bruised but other than that it doesnt hurt at all.
