    Default LADIES I NEED HELP!!!!

    ok i am going to get my nose pierced next week. Want a small diamond stud. I am sooooo scared. I AM doing this. PLease what do i expect, swelling, bleeding.. and what about how they do it?

    Need much advice on cleaning, i know they will tell me this, but i want to hear it first hand from ladies who have piercings, mainly nose..Pain? Anything.

    I work for a hospital, and one BIG concern is a CLEAN or NEW needle.

    How is this procedure done?

    Thanks,

    Pamela

    Make sure that you go to a reputable place. Do not let anyone pierce it unless you see them wear new gloves, and open a new needle. 99% of places do all of what I said above. You will get a little blood, and your nose will swell for a few days. Just take some ibuprofen. And congrats!! Mine has been done for 2 years.

    Talk to my piercer, Dawn. She is the greatest! Not only does she know everything about any piercing you could think of, she probably has it! Her website is http://www.stiehlsbodymod.com/ you can find out her contact info from there.

    I have 13 piercings, 6 ear - 7 body. I'm bout to be a bodypiercer too... lol, a body piercer/stripper!

    Anywho - bout your nose piercing - I highly suggest getting a 16g hoop put in at first. You can get a nose screw though - but make sure your piercer knows how to stretch it a lil bit so that the swelling will be ok. Speaking of swelling, it'll be very slight... it'll be a lil bit red at first, & maybe a very tiny amount of blood. It doesn't hurt to pierce your nose ~ your eyes may/probably water.

    The procedure... you'll fill out the paperwork, the piercer will copy your ID on the back of your paperwork. He/she then should go set up (setting out the needle, sterilizing area, etc). You'll have a dot placed where the piercer thinks it looks best & will heal best... you can agree or disagree (move the dot if you'd like...), they'll clamp ya, open the needle (should ALWAYS be done IN FRONT of you), pierce ya, put the jewelry in, clean ya up (alcohol swap)... finish cleaning up the area...you pay, they give you instructions. Remember to tip! It's a tip business too.

    Anywho ~ the nose is probably the easiest piercing to keep clean... just get a Q-tip, warm water, & dial antibiotic soap. Clean it at least twice a day for 2 weeks, then just clean it in the shower. Should be dandy after that! G'Luck with it!!!

    Oh, be careful as to not snag in a towel or shirt.

    oh forgot to add....if you go through the virutal tour on Steihl's site, they'll show you pics on how to tell if the needles/etc are sterile.

    When you take off or put on shirts,be careful not to get it caught on because that'll hurt like crazy.I got my nostil pierced ten years ago and I just followed the instructions to the T and it's been fine ever since.

    YAH! I've had mine for 4 years and I've never had any kind of infection. It did hurt tho and I have a bunch of other piercings :o. Just my opinion! Anyway, get Dial antibacterial soap, make sure you keep it clean the first month, and no excessive touching.Easy! Good Luck Pamela!!!!!

    Nehhostarz i will make sure i copy what you wrote and take it with me. Also SCGirl i will check out the site, ty. Thanks all ladies, had the belly button done years ago, but got prego, and took it out, got sick of it anyway. But the nose would be cool with a very tiny stud type or diamond.

    Cool, so no one had an infection. I will read all this again when i get it done for after care.

    Thanks a million,

    Pamela

    Ditto Nekkostarz on the towel thing! Be very careful! I got mine done about a month and 1/2 ago and I recently pulled it out while drying my face off. Like everyone else go to a reputable peircer and follow the aftercare instructions and you should do fine.

    In my experience my nose never hurt at all. It was a tiny bit swollen and red. Be careful not to get make-up in it though. One of the girls I worked with did get an infection due to make-up. You might even take an ibuprofen right before you go so that the swelling will not be as bad. That is what my piercer told me to do. Just my opinion, my belly button hurt more than my nose.

    I have had my nostril done for about a year and a half and never had any problems. Honestly the procedure didn't hurt (I was scared too!), the only thing that I had issues with was getting used to something in my nose (it feels like you need to blow your nose) but after a few hours you forget it is even there. My piercer recommended Provon soap twice a day but it dried my face out so I cut back to once. There was no swelling or bleeding at all. At first I had an 18g silver stud and now I'm down to a teeny tiny 20g diamond. I love it!! Go for it and enjoy!

    I did mine 16 years ago when body piercing seemed a new and shiny thing . The practical concerns have been explained in depth above so I'll offer my experience.

    Mine was a wee bit red and sore for (I think) a week or less. Tiny bit of swelling at first. It basically healed pretty fast but would get sore again if I caught it on anything. My eyes teared up when it was actually being done.

    After about 8 years I could take it out and leave it for long periods of time without it closing up (except the back, like an earring hole... you just have to push it through). I haven't worn mine in a year now and can still put a ring or stud through it. I have an indentation (tiny) where it is pierced so if you are looking you would still know it was pierced. It actually fares better than my earring holes irritaion wise and I have had those since I was 4!

    I hope that helps

    Oh, that's one of my favorite piercings.

    Everything has already been covered in depth, but I'll tell you one of the things I experienced with the different types of nose studs/rings. You probably already know they have hoops, studs that screw in (the post is in a spiral), posts that are bent at a 90 degree angle, and they also have posts that are straight that have a small ball/flare at end to keep them in. I have one of these and I find it to be a little uncomfortable when i need to take it out, but I prefer the size of it. It's small. Also, I don't think this was mentioned, and I don't know how it is with hoops or other posts, but if my nose itches on the pierced side and I rub it forgetting about the piercing I've caused bleeding before.

    Good luck.

    Since we're on the subject of piercings, does anyone know of a good place to find hood jewelry? I got mine done (vertically) and I have a captive bead ring in right now. What I REALLY want is a curved barbell with diamonds. Most of the places I look only have the jeweled barbells for belly button rings, not hoods. Any suggestions?
