I've had my nose pierced for about 10 years (since I was 18!). I just put a stud in after about 3 years of not wearing one. It hurt, but it was only inflamed for a day or so. The hole isn't noticeable unless you're really looking for it, and if you're really freaked out you can spackle it with makeup. |

Man, that is so cool. Three years! I've had my nose pierced three times, and every time I've taken the stud or ring out it's closed up within a day. I have a little scar from one of my piercings, but it's no big deal. It's like a big pore. |

hmmm...huge holes versus a big pore (which i already have lol), wonder which one i would get? Gonna think about that one...outofrange, you're not a bubble burster, you're helping me think about this decision! |

do not get peirced at Claire's or any other mall booth/store/whatever! go to a tattoo place, a reputable one. |

i got my done about 6 months ago, but i ran it by my boss first. if we are meeting with any conservative clients i take it out. i was using a retainer (a clear plastic place holder) but it just ended up looking like a zit so i just take my piercing out right before the meeting and pop it in right after. and i do have allergies and it never really bothers me. |

I got my nose pierced about four years ago (age 34), and my only regret is not having done it sooner. |

Back when I was less informed, i got the Claire's ear piercings, and the infections that go along with those buggers. Never had a problem like that with my nose (had it three years now, done with a good ol' needle). I've always found studs to be a little irritating (not irritating the piercing, but making me sneeze!), and prefer a ring. |

becca, you'll have to let me know who did yours, because i want to get mine done in a few months (after the financial fallout from the move heals over first) |

i have a question for the pierced ladies....i want to get pierced and have for like 3 years, but the piercing i want (not nose ...a marilyn)..can be kinda noticable and i can't have it at my school's clinic (massage school, but the lady who owns the place is *seriously* uptight...).. |

They do make labret retainers that can be worn in a healed monroe, but they're made of acrylic, which is not appropriate for healing. |

i've had my nose pierced since....jeez, for about 5 months now! i got mine pierced with a surgical steel stud and it's awesome. i'm really happy with it, although i want to get a smaller gauge stud to let it close in a bit. However, be careful when you change them, because my nostrils are just fat or something (overweight nostrils...i see a weight-loss book coming on..) and so many of the studs that are L shaped won't go into my face without TONS of irritation and bleeding. but that's just me. No, on the whole i recommend getting it done, it's really cute, and fairly painless. my eyes didnt even water when the guy did it. and get it done with a needle! it's so much safer/better, but research where you're going to get it done to make sure it's a clean, sanitized, health inspected place - this is important! as for colds, i've never had a problem, just if you find "buildup" on your stud or ring (this happens, it's life), take a kleenex and wet it in as hot of water as you can stand, and then jam it up your nose and leave it there till it cools. this not only cleans your piercing (do this on the outside of the piercing, too), it loosens the crud that's stuck to it, just kind of unclogging your nose and making it so you can take out your nose stud/ring if you need to. |

I love my pierced nose! I have never had a problem: either with infection, or with the hole closing up, even though I can sometimes go up to a week without wearing anything in it. Mind you, I have had it pierced for ten years. I suspect that if I wanted it to grow in, it would eventually, but I would probably have a tiny scar on the side of my nose. That wouldn't bother me, though. It has never been an issue when I've been job hunting, but I've never applied at anywhere really truly conservative. As for colds, it has never been a problem being gross, and I'm not sure how it would be gross? But then again, I wear a nose pin and not a ring. |

I was also planning to get my nose pierced this summer, and am definatly getting it done wth a needle. I've heard scary things about piercing guns am not going to take that chance. Also, make sure that your piercer autoclaves e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Infections are no fun. |

I've gotten a bunch of piercings and got my nose pierced in October and it rocks. Its healed the best out of all but my tongue. Though my friend got hers done at the same time and hers healed horribly. |

I got mine done lat September, love it! Me and the three girls I dance with all went and got it done togoether. If you are in the bay area, I can recommend the gal we went to in San Jose, great job, beautiful tiny nose jewelry, and great aftercare. When mine swelled up for a while, she had great suggestions of different things to try. |
