Nose Piercing Questions! 😁👃

I was wondering some things before I go and get mine done.
Does it hurt?
I have a low pain tolerance.
How do you care for it?
And I want your input on it!

I just got mine 2 weeks ago :) its a little pinch and then it gets really sore and swollen, and it bleeds a bit. You clean it twice a day with non iodized sea salt water <3 you can google it if you want the exact measurements.

Always use a needle, NOT A GUNNNNN! And breathe. Alot.

Well, since you have a low pain tolerance, it'll feel like a millisecond pinch haha. It's like not unbearable.
You clean around it with sea salt solution on a cotton swab twice a day. Honestly it's one of the easiest piercings to maintain lol.

It hurts a little bit I suppose, mostly when they're putting the jewellery in. I've had each side of my nose pierced three times each over the years and every time it was different, sometimes it'll make your eyes water, sometimes it's simple, depends who does it really :) I cleaned mine with salt saline solution twice a day with a q-tip inside and outside of your nose where the piercing is. Don't move the piercing too much while you're cleaning it.

Yes use noniodized salt if you're making your own solution

It really doesn't hurt at all, I was so nervous because like you, I have a low pain tolerance and it was my first piercing (aside from my 2nd holes on both ears) and it didnt hurt at all because there's no bone, just cartilage.

With cleaning it a hot shower will let it soften then take a q tip or cotton swab and clean the outside and inside of it VERY GENTLY.

And do not touch it with dirty hands.

I have mine done, it didn't hurt badly, and it was over quickly. My eyes did water though. I clean it twice a day with just water, and if it is acting up I'll use a saline solution. I used a saline solution for the first two months of cleaning it, but I can get away with jut water now. And try not to snag it on anything! I got it caught on a sweater and it did not feel so nice, haha.

I barely even felt it. They do it so quickly and it's just sea salt spray I use to clean mine. Make sure you go somewhere reputable to get it down.

I barely felt it too, my eye watered for a second afterwards and it was done! Harlyn knows her piercings, she's a good reference if you have any doubts :)
but yeah everything that needed to be said was said I believe. Clean it, avoid touching it, don't put sealants (creams, ointments etc.) on it, try not going to the pool or the sea (don't submerge your head). And yes be careful not to snag it (sweater, towel..).

Why do you guys use a salt solution, not just alcohol? I've always thought alcohol cleans it well 😱

I didn't even feel it when k got my nose pierced and I have had my nose pierced three times. Also just breathe right as they push it in. It helps so much trust me! I have my Monroe, nose, bellybutton, and three cartilage piercings and the least painful was my nose.

Alcohol will dry it out @Missy K.

Thanks Harlyn you have been so much help to me and others on this thread. I really appreciate it and you have made me feel better about getting it done!

I got mine 5-6 months ago and it's a fast pain, DO NOT touch it because you'll get a bump, and clean it with sea salt and whatever the piercer perscribes
