GETTING A NOSE PIERCING - MY EXPERIENCE

Hey Beauties! :D

So I thought I would change it up, and share some of my experiences with getting a nose piercing. I've always wanted one and so I decided to bite the bullet and just do it.

I guess the first question that I got asked was, "did it hurt?" I have a very low pain tolerance and it wasn't as saw as I thought it would be. I think I have to give credit to Shani (my piercer) for that. She actually got me to lie down and close my eyes. Which I thought was so much better, than sitting up and seeing the needle go through my nose. She also made me put my hands under my butt, in case I flinched or something.

I would also recommend getting it done with the needle. I've heard some horror stories with piercers using the gun. (If you are a piercer and you are reading this, let me know what your opinion on this is).

I also recommend regularly cleaning the nose piercing. You can get the cleaning solution from the place where you got your piercing done. I cleaned mine morning and night for the first two weeks and then once a day for about a month (I guess this will all depend on how your piercing is healing).

After a month I changed the piercing from a stud to a ring (this was a bad idea). I guess when they say to keep the stud in for 2 months, you probably should! It's important to make sure your nose piercing has healed before changing it. If it's still tender I wouldn't change it. Otherwise it may get infected. I'm lucky mine didn't get infected when I changed it back to a stud. But it did bleed slightly when I was changing the ring back to the stud. (I made sure I cleaned it really well in the process). The next morning, my piercing looked normal again. Thank goodness! I'll defiantly make sure it heals before putting in the ring.
