How bad does a nose piercing hurt?

I really want to get my nose pierced, but im kind of scared. I just want a cute little stud, I dont want anything big. I had my bellybutton pierced and that didnt hurt me at all, but after almost a year it got infected and I dont have it anymore. how bad does a nose piercing hurt, and does it usually get infected? and from taking a look at my pictures, do you think it would look alright on me? thanks

I can guarantee you, that is does not hurt one little bit… and even if you take it out, it will be very difficult for people to see the little hole… go for it.. no pain what so ever

ok well I have no idea about if it'll get infected or not but I totally think that you could pull off a nose piercing no problem!

I came across an article by an MD at Webmd, he said this:

Most piercings done in reputable establishments are done under sterile conditions. Since hepatitis B, HIV, and other blood-borne diseases are a definite risk, this is nice to know.

The nasal mucosa is not the cleanest place on our body. Subsequently, nasal piercings get infections.

It will pinch more than hurt and your eyes will probably water up a little bit. Within the first 5 weeks of healing you should NEVER touch your piercings and it is rare for a piercing to ever get infected, it's usually just really irritated. If you do get it pierced keep your hands off it for 5 weeks.

yeh I totally agree with crazy_and_loving_it! you could deffinately pull off a nose peircing I think it would really suit your face and nose.

I have the same exact question! you see, I want a nose piercing but I cant stand very mmuch pain. I have had three cartledge piercings with a gun but they dont hurt. What I do know about nose piercings thoguh, is that never have it done with a gun, usually a needle. Go to a clean place where they will take care of you and do the piercing right. I hear you'll tear up a bit but thats it. I hope thats only how much it will hurt! Nothing more (hopefully and wishing)!

Im Getting Mine Done For My Birthday Adn I Feel Exactly the Same Way!
Im Scared It Will Hurt!!
But Im Sooo Wanting To get It Done So I Just Want To Know!!

Geting your nose pierced doenst hurt I got mine done about 7 months ago and it hasnt gotten infected once..it doesnt hurt but you will fell a little pinch and yo9ur eyes might water a bit. and I think a nose righ would suit you well the shape of your face and the size of your nose are perfect.

I had my nose pierced when I was 12 and it didn't hurt when she was actually putting the needle through to pierce it but hurt when she was putting the stud through.
I am scared of needles so if I can have it done,anyone can.
it was well worth it,I love my nose piercing.
hope I helped you.
xoxo

hey I just got my nose pierced this morning and it didnt hurt at all it just felt like a tiny pinch and im not veryu used to piercings because bbefore this morning I only had the bottom of my ears periced I think mine looks great and I think it would suit you well too good luck!
p.s. I hope mine dosent get infected! x

Yes, it hurts a lot, before I got my nose pierced people kept on telling me that it doesn't hurt at all and its just a pinch. But it did hurt, I cried afterwords, but the piercing lady said that was just normal and happens to almost everybody who gets their nose pierced.
It hurt a bit afterwords as well, but the after pain wasn't to bad. Your nose will stay red for a week or so because its still in the healing process. My stud got a little infected when it came out once when I was blowing my nose, but then I just put the stud back in and it healed OK.
It only gets infected if it comes out, you touch it, other people touch it, you move it around to much, or don't wash around your stud everyday until healed, those are the main things that can make your nose get infected, when you get it pierced the piercer should give you all the info on how to keep it clean and stop it from getting infected etc.
But if your want your nose pierced then its well worth it!
The pain is over before you know it, And afterwords you have your brand new nose stud.

P.S I think it would look really good on you.

I got my nose pierced two weeks ago. I was scared to death that it would hurt, and guess what? It did. But it hurt for about 30 seconds (which is pretty much how long the procedure took!) What I love about my nose piercing is that even though it hurt for that 30 seconds, it really doesnt hurt after that, you can't even feel it an hour later! remember to use non-iodized sea salt with distilled water twice a day, and keep your hands off. It will look great on you. Remember to look at more than one piercing place to find one you are comfortable with. It's worth it I promise!

It only hurts for like 1 minute

depends if you are getting it prof. done.
then it hurts less then a ear piercing.
itll be fine.
it most likely wont get infected.
and even doing it yourself.. don't hurt THAT bad.
Whatever you do dont clean it with rubbing alcohol or peroxide..
it messes up the cartilage usually
clean it with Salt Water.
Its way better for it.

I have my nose pierced and it doesn't hurt. It will bring tears to eyes because itm esses with your sinuses. I even have it video taped. I have had my nose done for a year know I have never once got it infect and it doesn't matter if you touch your nose ring or not. I went swmming that exact day I got it done and I changed it two days after. It should be fine. It does get ripped out easily tho. If you do get it pierced do it with NEEDLE not GUN! because it hurts so much more with a gun.!

hi my name is jessica and I got my nose pierced in august. I had my friend piece it first and it didnt hurt. but then I took it out and gt it perfisional and it hurt for like two seconds then it did then it hurt for about 2 weeks. but personaily it didn't hurt

OMG THIS IS A REALLY GOOD QUESTION!!! I GOT MY NOSE PEIRCED A YEAR AGO... IT DOESNT HURT IF YOU GET IT DONE WITH A GUN AND I THINK IT WOULD LOOK PERFECT ON YOU IM 14 AND I GOT IT DONE WHEN I WAS 13... so yeah... . BUT YOU CAN TOUCH IT BUT DONT LIKE BE TOUCHING IT 24/7 WHEN THAT GIRL TOLD YOU YOUR NOT SUPPOSED TO TOUCH IT SHE WAS LYING... YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO TURN IT OCCASIONALLY...and pull it in and out not completly out but a little out...but it doesnt hurt... unless a big booger gets stuck on the ring but once it heals take it out at least twice a day to clean it and if you have bad acne dont get your nose peirced... b because about a week ago I had a pimple grow right and part way on my hole and it hurt like hell I just took my nose ring out for a day and then put in a little stud earing(straight) for about 5 days and then put in my normal twist in one... but no matter what the peircing parlor says do not get a ball back nose ring it streches out your nose hole evey time you take it out and put it back in... lol so yeah...

I can answer this question.
I've had my nose pierced on 3 different occassions [all in the same spot]
When you get it pierced it hurts really badly and your eyes water and afterwards its throbs, but if you want it bad enought I guess the pain is worth it.
I personally had a lot of problems with my nose ring.
when I would get out of the shower and wipe my face off it would get stuck on the towel and rip out or stuck on the pillow.
Thats why I had to get it pierced so many times.
You have to make sure that you clean it really well or it will get infected.
the third time I had mine done I didnt clean it that well and thats what happened.
also be careful what kind of jewelry you buy for it.
I bought studs from clairs and it made my nose really sore.
I dont have my nose ring anymore and you cant even tell there is a hole there.

so, if you get it and it doesnt look right take it out.
oh, and dont get it pierced before a special occassion where you will be taking pictures because its red for a couple days.

It hurts like crazy for like 1 minute, I got mine pro. done.. and it felt like a pin going through my nose and like it made my eyes water and when he put in the nose screw that hurt... bad... and I screamed.. I have plenty of piercings and trust me it hurt... it isn't going to get infected just get some dial soap...only clean it 2wice and use contact solution during the day when it gets crusty and you should be fine.. Please do not get it pierced by a gun, because that could snap your cartilage, and give it a minute before you turn it like, a week or two... keep it clean and don't over clean..

I have had mine done and I let it close up. then I got it pierced again because I missed it! it doesn't hurt at all I have my belly button done to and it feels about the same. the only time it has ever gotten infected is when I got really sick so be sure to clean it good when your sick!
