Do nose piercings hurt??

I'm thinking about getting my nose pierced and I was juss wondering if it hurt becoz I have a low threshold for pain.

  • Yes.

  • I have a low pain tolerance too, and it wasn't too bad. I think my eyes watered for a minute, but it gets better really fast. Be careful when you change your shirt or wash/dry your face - I pulled mine out accidentally two days after it was done. Coming out didn't hurt, but having it put back in did! (I had to go back to the piercer.)

    The process for mine was as follows:

    They had me sign the release (most places will do this), then he made a dot on my nose with a marker to determine where I wanted it. A straight needle was put in, and the piercing was pulled through as the needle was pulled out. It hurt for less than a minute, but it wasn't horrible.

    I have had 9 piercings and I've never found a piercer who recommends using ice - I've found it makes the skin more sensitive because by the time you've drawn the dot and all, the feeling is starting to come back to your skin.

    The longer you keep it in, and the more you play with it the easier it will be to change when you want to. Don't leave it out for longer than a few hours until you've had it a long time.

    Hope that's helpful!

  • Yes. Most piercings do. Actually, all have the potential to hurt.

    It only lasts a few seconds, though. Once the jewelry is in you're good. Go to a reputable shop. Reputable does not mean the guy that doesn't check ID and will pierce a prepuescant girl if she said she was 18. Do your research before hand so you don't freak out and scream "INFECTED" at the first sign of redness, swelling, or lymph.

  • I've wanted to know the same thing , coz I would love to pierce my nose. But a friend of mine has pierced her nose and she told me that it doesn't hurt too much.

  • it HUURTS like hell n on top of dat ur nose is gonna swell 2 d size f a balloon but i'd say go 4 it cuz d pain n d swellin will go away wid time but d hole is gonna stay n add 2 ur beauty!! BEST OF LUCK N HOPE IT DOESN'T HURT ALL DAT MUCH!!!!!!

  • yeah pretty much all piercings hurt. But really it depends your pain tolerance.

  • Not excrusiateing pain or anything

    slight sting for a second

    then its over

    its worth it

  • it doesn't really hurt badly since they use ice to numb up the tissues before the needle is inserted. you will need to learn how you open the hole over time, before you put a ring in it. that also doesn't really hurt--many more injuries to our bodies do.

  • maybe you should pierce. and try to withstand the pain? because its just like piercing ur ears. (:

  • YES and Yes and DOuble YES
