I pierced it myself!?

By Angela, from Illinois.

Well as you know body piercings are a type of artform that many people enjoy in todays society. and as everyone knows there will be alot of amazing storys about how they got into them why they like them and many stories about how they did them themselves!

As i am a big fan of body piercings i too have storys to tell about my piercings. well to start all the piercings i have on my body were all done by me and the one particular piercing thats my current fave is my nose. i knew it wouldnt be a problem piercing my nose because i had already knew that i could pierce cartalige as i have pierced the cartalige on my ears before and knew that piercing my nose wouldnt be a problem.

So i took out my curved sowing needle that i kept for piercings and i found the middle of my left nostril and marked it with a pen. then i got out some rubbing alcohol and sterilized the needle and the spare earring that i had laying about that i could use. then after both were sterilized i poked the needle through till it ent all the way through my nose. then i took the needle out slowly and immediately put the earring through my nose. then i cleaned the newly pierced piercing with rubbing alcohol. the next day i went to hottopic and purchased some real nose rings and left one in for about 4 weeks till i changed it out making shure it would heal right. i also made shure that it was cleaned 3 times a day for about 2 weeks.

Nose peircin

By Kenya from Colorado.

Well what can i say, My name is Kenya Munoz, I am 16 years old,my birthday is July 4,and i have a boyfriend named Gerardo,and we have been dating for three years. January 14,2010was my 3rd year with him.

One day i asked my dad if i could get my nose peirced,and he answered me,that if i ever get anything peirced he would start drinking,and my dad is those strict parents you can ever imagin to have,well one day i got really mad at my dad,becuase i saw him drinking,so on December 20th,2009 i decided to peirce my nose.

I mean i did ask for permission,but he just never answered,so i just decided to peirce my nose since i saw him drinking,so i just grabbed a needle,the ones u stitch clothes and all that stuff with.

It was a miracle that it didn’t hurt,just the next day, my nose felt swollen,and yes i was going to peirce my belly button,but i have weird lookin belly button,so i am going to go do it behind my parents back,i am probably just going to tell my mom what is i am going to do,and i hop i will get my belly button peirced before valentines, I am very excited to get my belly button peirced!

Not as bad as I thought!

By Stephanie, from Knoxfield, VIC, Australia.

So after finally getting the approval from my parents to get my belly button pierced, I wanted to get my nose done. I don’t know what made me want it, I think it was Christina Aguilera’s pretty flower piercing. I thought tiny studs looked so pretty. I started to hint to my mum that I wanted to get my nose pierced for quite some time. Eventually she said ishe wouldn’t mind but it depended on what my dad says. I got the courage to ask them both but dad really didn’t like the idea. But I still wanted to get it. Mum said she would talk to him about it and 4 months later she found the perfect time to ask. It all came down to the fact that I’m old enough to get it done anyway. I’m almost 21 years old, but I would never do something against my parents if it means a lot to them. They thought it wasn’t such a big deal. I was so excited!

I decided not to go to the same place I got my belly done, I wasn’t happy with the service. I heard great things about this other place and booked a tim for me and my fiancé. When I got my belly done, he got his cartilage done (which was done badly and had to be taken out). This time around he decided to pierce his tragus. That day we chose our jewellery and waited for them to be sterilized. I really wanted a white gold and diamond stud but they were too expensive and decided to buy mine online at a later date.

The lady had excellent customer service and made us feel very comfortable. We had to go in one at a time for health and safety reasons, so I went it first. She said if I could handle the belly piercing, I was sure to handle this. I heard that nose piercings were much more painful than belly piercings and my belly piercing was complete agony so this wasn’t good news. She placed a dot on my nose and I took a good look at it and said it was fine. She told me to close my eyes as she placed a hollow, metal tube in my right nostril and had the needle ready to pierce. I was hoping that it wouldn’t hurt that bad and she counted to three and pie!
Pierced. WOW!

That was just fine! It felt like a little shock and the pain was totally bearable. My eyes watered just a little. The needle just slide right in. She said the worst was over, but I’ve heard that before and am sure it is not over just yet. She told me she was going to thread the stud in and I said “oh no…” and she assured me she was very quick. She wasn’t as quick as I’d hoped but it didn’t hurt at all. There was no blood which was surprising and I had a look at it and loved it. She told me to be careful when drying it after a shower, not to touch it, spray it twice a day with the antiseptic I bought and to remove any crusties with a cotton bud.

I’ve had it in for 7 weeks now and it’s healing well. It developed that ‘red bump’ you hear about so I started sea salt soaks. She also recommended I sleep with a band-aid so that I don’t knock it when I sleep (apparently people do this without realizing). I did so for 2 weeks and thought I wouldn’t need it anymore. Turns out, I do. I’v scratched and rubbed it in my sleep, and… it hurts.
I recommend anybody who wants to get their nose done, to totally go for it.

Nose Deco Returns!

By Marian the Harley Chick, SF Bay Area – CA USA

Back in 1994, I had my nose pierced. I had gotten it done by a guy who used a piercing gun and then quickly swapped out the piercing jewelry for a post of my choice. I had left it in for a couple of years – I was a figure skater and I remember one time being on the ice with my coach and swiping at my nose and it fell out onto the ice. My coach watched (in horror) as I plucked it off the ice and put it back in and said “oops…”

I have forgotten why I took it out. It might be because my allergies are always having my nose ‘on the run’ and I got tired of dealing with it; I really can’t remember. Just one day I took it out and was ‘done with it.’

My ex husband never liked it so he was happy I took it out, but I found that I missed it in a strange way. He moved out in March, 2008 and I began a ‘new life’ so to speak. I started shedding pounds (not that I’m svelte now but I was a fatty then) and maybe I could call it a mid-life crisis or maybe not. I played with the idea of getting it redone but was terrified of a ‘non piercing gun’ approach.

The idea of someone shoving a hollow needle through my nose made me pretty squeamish-the scaredy whuss I am…so I decided to hold that thought for a while. I was dating a man for a few months and he shunned the idea of me doing this. When he dumped me in mid July I said okay that’s it. Who’s in charge here? I AM! I asked around for some recommendations and was told by my friend, L, as well as a lady I know at the Harley Shop that Body Exotic in San Jose, CA had been around for years and years and they used ‘hospital-like’ techniques.

So I called them up and they told me the process and I made the 20 minute drive to get it done. Daniel was my piercer, and he had me choose my jewelry to start. I chose a very tiny diamond (no not a real one). I was put in a room to lay down and he came in and prepped me. He looked at my nose and bent the jewelry to fit my nostril so it wouldnt be poking me.

The first time I had it done, that was never done; I wound up taking a pair of pliers and bending my jewelry. Then it began. He said “Okay you might feel a pinch…” My reaction? I started humming the Star Spangled Banner! I have NO idea where that came from! But it was over pretty quickly and I could see the jewelry when I crossed my eyes .

I was very happy with the experience, but I kept knocking it out in the middle of the night which sucked. This went on for a couple of months – but finally stopped. It healed nicely and I’ve been able to change it but I am always very careful to disinfect any jewelry going in. Had the navel pierced a few weeks later and that story is on this website’s corresponding belly ring story area.

I think I’m done punching holes in myself… I dont’ want to start whistling when I’m riding my Harley down the highway!

My Beautiful Nose Piercing!

By Janine aged 15, Miami

Hi everyone I’m Janine and I’d like to share my nose piercing story with you. I am known to be the biggest baby when it comes to pain. I hate needles; I mean I REALLY hate needles! Ever since I can remember just the sight of a needle has made me want to faint which sucked because I really wanted to have my nose pierced. All of my friends were talking about it and one of my friends went and had it done. It looked amazing and I really wanted one.

I chatted about it with my mum and she first said I was too young. I begged her for two weeks and she finally gave in but said I had to have her with me and we had to go to a professional piercing salon. I was so excited but really nervous too!

We went to see a piercer not far from where we live in Miami and he told me exactly what to expect. He even showed me pictures of piercings he had done. Some of the pictures made me feel sick but I was still excited. My mum asked loads of questions and checked I was old enough which I was (you had to be at least 13). Then we got to choose what type of jewelry I wanted so I chose a really cute nose ring. They were fully booked for that day so I had to wait another week until I could get the piercing done. That week dragged so badly.

When I finally went back my stomach was doing flips and I felt so sick. I was thinking of backing out but I really wanted the piercing so badly. Then when it came to the actual thing it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. I won’t lie – the part where they put the nose ring in did hurt. My eyes watered really badly and I wanted to cry. I didn’t but when they twisted the ring around I held onto the chair so tight my knuckles were completely white.

Now that I’ve had it done I am really glad that I didn’t back out. I’m now the envy of all of my friends and I have a really cool diamond stud which looks super cute!

14 yr Olds Nose Piercing

By Boris, Victoria, Australia

Hey well I’m 14 and i have wanted to get my nose peirced like since i was 5, and on my 14th birthday i was finaly aloud.

No one can guess how nervous i was.. about 4 days before i got it done i found out i was aloud to get it. I went on like 100 websites about nose peircings and how to look after them and watched heaps of movies on itunes there was one video that really freaked me out.

I was so nervous i wouldnt stop talking about it to everyone, the day had come the day i was getting my nose peirced i was excited and nervous at the same time we went shopping and then went to the peircing shop.

I was standing out the front of the shop for about 5 minutes deciding if i should go through with it or not! I went into the shop with my mum and i couldnt even talk i was shaking so much(all of the websites and videos made it look really painfull and scary) the guy kept saying to me how it was going to be fine and he told me what he was gonnna do.

He shoved a cork up my nose and i jumped coz i thought it was the needle and then he put the needle through i thought it was a pen or something i didnt even feel it! And he poked the stud through the hole if anything hurt that is wat hurt the most.

He told me to keep it in for 6 weeks. I recently went back to get some more nose studs i put one in and yeah its all fine now!

If you do go on websites and get really freaked out you should just get it done it’s so worth it and you won’t even feel it!
