    glad you got your nose peirced okay.
    i had mine done with a needle a couple of months ago in a tatto place, to blow my nose 2 days later to have it come out. i let alone the peircer couldnt get the thing back in and it was the weirdest shaped stud too, and have thrown money down the pan as ive let it heal up now (plus have a funny lump inside my nose too).
    plus taken my other cartilidge studs out too, after i had the nose trouble and have healed, had 1 about a year the other 2 about 6 months and after my nose and having trouble getting another one back in i decided enough - out they come at £80 im really kicking myself for not thinking about it better. more or less healed up now after a couple of month of no studs in their.
    id suggest bieng very carefull about blowing your nose and when your in bed, perhaps some sort of plaster on it? just in case you catch it.

    So I now have a small clear crystal stud and a happy smile! :)

    Can I ask how conspicuous it looks? I might get away with something tiny and discreet during the healing process...

    she shrugged and said hers was done by her auntie sticking potato up her nose 'I was more worried about whether I'd be left with an oven chip stuck up there than wondering what she was doing with the needle', which probably isn't on offer at any of my options - and I did ask if she could lend me her auntie, but she's pushing 80 now :D
    Am I the only one :rotfl: at this?

  • all i can say is never get anything pierced with a gun except for your ear lobes. Always go with a professional piercer that will use a needle. i don't have a nose piercing but I have 14 around my body and all of them have been done with needles and no problems with any of them (been pierced over a decade)

    I see some right nut jobs on youtube, piercing their own noses with guns....CRAZY haha. I'm so glad you found a great piercer, seems like she knows exactly what she's doing! She sounds proper sweet too lol

    Well, DD didn't actually notice it when she came in from school.

    Check your PMs....The world is not yet ready for a photo of my face available to all..............

    Well I've gone and done it too :j

    No one seems to have noticed yet although I have been asked if I have hayfever!

    Pictures???????


    (BTW was a little tender the first night, but only got a tiny twinge today when cleaning it. DD asked 'what do you do if you have a big bogey up there before it heals?' :rotfl: Told her I'd have to get tweezers to reach it :whistle:)

    It has finally stopped running so I no longer look like I have hayfever. I was impressed that there was no blood though. Not even a drop! It's a bit tender but the swelling has all but gone this morning.
  • Looking good, Amanita!
