Nose piercings?

This is my experience....NOTHING is as painful as the top of your ear....I swear that thing hurt for 6 months....As for your nose...go to a piercing shop, it's only about $30 and they use a needle. I had problems because the nose "screw" bend was between my skin and was having a hard time healing, but after about 17 days, I finally took it out and you would never know I had it done.....I will redo it, it just didn't work out right the first time. P.S. My sister had hers done the next day at the same place with the straight stud (which they don't like to do) but it healed fine and looks really cute still today.....good luck....it's quick & almost painless...
