Hello!

I've often thought "I'll get a nose piercing when I'm slimmer so I'm that cute, short girl with the nose stud"

Now that I'm almost halfway there, I'm thinking... maybe I might get it now?

But then part of me feels really nervous about it being a bad idea.

What are people's experience of nose studs? especially if you haven't got many other piercings (I just have two in each earlobe)

    Well go for it, live every day like its the last................worst case scenario...you hate it then just take it out. I won,t lie it hurts like hell having it put in but i loved mine. Yup it came out and i couldn,t get it back in again, but it hasn,t left any scar and i would have it done again.:smile:

    Do it if you want it and it'll make you feel better!

    In my personal experience they are terrible. Even after you take them out they leave a mark, they are very painful to take out and in, don't even want to explain what happens when you have a runny nose/cold with them! Ugh! I regret getting mine done and a I said, even though I took mine out years ago... still have the mark :(

    But if it's something you want, go for it!

    I have two nose piercings on the same side and have done since I was about 19. I love them. I don't wear them so much but the holes are still open.

    I have two in one nostril. I wear little studs through it at the moment, but when I was in my 20s I used to wear little silver rings through it. If you want it, go for it. Expect it to be a bit uncomfortable for a while after getting it done, expect to wash the stud down the plughole whilst washing your face, and expect people who know you to stare at you a bit and ask dumb questions for a while.

    I've had two, they're an easy piercing to look after and left no marks when I took them out.

    My main advice would be to get it done in a shop that will pierce it with a needle as some will do it with an ear piercing gun but no piercing should ever be done with one of those. They can damage nerves and cartilidge.

    Go for it though! Very easy to look after and they do look very cute. :) If you get a cold while having one try to persevere as much as possible without taking it out as they tend to heal up easily if you haven't had it for very long. :)

    they are only painful to take out when freshly done or infected. Runny nose or cold is not a bother if you wear a ring. I don't even remember it being a problem. Yes they do leave a mark but it depends on your skin and I don't care about my marks as I still use the holes.

    I have one....I've had a lot of piercings and it has been my favorite so far. Easiest to heal because its kind of out of the way and I think it looks really cute. I always match them with my outfit :P...I will recommend to use the L screws though. I don't like the bone studs because they kind of hurt going in and out. But with the L its pretty comfy :)

    Hi, I have had mine pierced for about 20 years before it was really popular. Mine was done with a gun and was really simple and painless. Still have it in today and just wear a tiny diamond screw stud.
    I say go for it.

    Just make sure that having a nose piercing doesnt go against any dress-codes your place of employment might have. I could hear an employee get mad when they were told they had to remove their nose-stud before they could punch in for work - and how they were told this prior to being hired because we are in a food-environment... and this violates a few policies we have, that we all sign consent of understanding...

    I work in a call-centre so thankfully I don't think it will be a problem, not customer facing or food handling :)

    Go for it! I absolutely love mine and like everyone has already said, if you decide you don't like it you can always just take it out. I have a really, really tiny one that I wear at work - it's almost imperceptable. I think they're super cute.

    I think they look cute with a tiny diamond in it. I also would get it done with a needle. I had the part of the ear that if you press on it you cover your ear hole -- I don't know what the name of that part of the ear. But, had it done with a needle. Much, much better than with a gun. Good luck.
