So I'm debating if I should get my nose pierced or not?! pros/cons?

The only pro I had with mine was it looked cute. mine never healed because I was constantly ripping it out while sleeping or changing my clothes or forgetting it was there it just wasn't for me so I took it out. but I know not everyone had my problems lol.

Pros:
You can have different colored and shaped studs and rings after it completely heals.
You might feel more confident.
Cons:
Infection can happen if you don't take care of your piercing properly.
No matter what, if you take it out before it heals it will close up, and possibly leave a scar. It could close over night, or over the course of a year or more. It will always and eventually close if you take it out.
Some employers will request that employees do not wear piercings tho work, or show tattoos. Constantly taking out piercings will prompt infection and improper healing.

Other than that, good luck!

I had one and loved it but its cons were that it can get infected easily! I used to wear it all the time at school but would have to take it out when I saw security and it hurts so bad when you take it out!! So if you get it just make sure it is going to be there until it heals without you taking it out

I had mine pierced and I loved it but makes sure that your rings and studs are titanium!...the only con is that it can take a while to heal up.

I always forgot I had mine and would scratch my nose, and out it came. I've had mine done three times...so I'm left with scars on each side ://

Con: my friend has one and she likes to wear a ring it has this ball on in and it always like moves to like visibility and I love her to death but it looks like a booger and its gross!

Only con I ever experienced was when I got colds.. My nose was so much harder to blow.

I got mine on my 16 birthday. it hurt horribly bad, but that's bc it was pierced by woman who don't speak ny language, and I have fat nostrils apparently. LOL but I love mine Soooooo much! it fits me so well. and I have never gotten an infection. I don't do anything to it either. I take it out when showering, only bc I washed it down the drain once, and I clean it off when I have a cold, boogers get stuck on it bc it's like a fishhook. you would look great with one. just be careful for the first 6months bc it is easy to accidentally rip it out!

Its cute I.had one but my problem was I tend 2 sweat a lot in the nose area and my constant wiping and forgetting it was there drove me into taking it out lol but I use 2 lovemines :)

I miss mine so much. It was really cute, but I have terrible allergies so even once I got it healed it was hard to keep from getting infected. Also, if you tend toward scarring it is really easy to get keloid from them and then you end up with a bump

If you do make sure they know how to do it and care for it properly! I had mine done by someone highly recommended and it took a year to heal. I found out two years later when my niece had hers done that the person that did mine was an idiot. Her nose healed in a month because it was done right and she was told proper care techniques. 1: clean with soap n water or hydrogen peroxide NOT rubbing alcohol or anything harsh on the skin. 2: the first stud should be an L bar NOT a spiral (rips out but difficult to remove for cleaning) or straight bar (slips out). those are the most important lessons I learned.

Definitely an L bar and good quality metal for piercing. Be obsessive about cleaning it until it heals. Then you can use a straight nose ring, or switch it out for a clear one for work. I still clean mine often, and it's fine. Wouldn't get one if you have super bad allergies or something. And do not use salt water to cleanse, as is popular-use earring/piercing cleaner.
