I have had my left nostril done twice; once when I was 18 and the other when I was 21. I had to take it out the first time because I ended up getting incarcerated. The first time was easy enough. Fairly tolerable pain, but I had an amazing piercer who always made me feel very relaxed. [Colter from Ink Shop Tattoos, formerly Fry Street Ink in Denton, TX...he may be at a different shop...call and ask, he's wonderful!!!] When he put it in, it was a little uncomfortable but not unbearable. It was like a pinch, and I did ...

I have been thinking about getting a nose piercing since I was about 16, and my dad had already approved of it, but some reason or another I waited 2 years to actually get it! So, one day I was hanging out with a friend of mine, when the subject of piercings came up. She has had a Labret for a while now, and I asked where she had got it done. She said she got it done in a place in the downtown area of the city called Tattoo's Unlimited. She said she really liked the piercers, the atmosphere, ...

Okay so I fad gotten a few piercings before this, my belly button, my industrial, and three in each lobe they were all done professionally. And then I was hooked! I knew I could talk my parents into it after a few months, but I just didn't want to wait that long. So being the impatient teenager that I am I thought I would do it my self. It was late at night about one or two in the morning, and I was watching TV and then I knew I should just do it. Now I had attempted to pierce ...

Since I was 9 and saw my mom's roommate's navel piercing, I've been fascinated with piercings. I've been wanting to get my nose pierced in particular since I was about 12. My mom didn't give in then, and I'm sort of glad she didn't. I made sure I really wanted this piercing and researched it. I've been glued to BME for months, looking around the whole site, but also focusing on nostril piercing pictures and devouring as many stories as possible to get an idea of what the routine is, how most people responded to the pain, etc. A few ...

Ever since I was a little girl I have loved the way piercings look. They are beautiful, but also unusual and exotic. When I started my own mods, I loved the way that they made me feel, like I stood out, was somehow different. They even gave my good-girl image an edge of subversiveness. For years I had especially wanted a nostril piercing (they're not so common where I live as they are in some other areas). My parents refused to take me to get it done, not that I was surprised, as they consistently tell me how much they ...

So here is the background of it all: for my birthday, the ONLY thing I wanted was the one thing I knew I couldn't have. I wanted my nose pierced just as I had since I could pretty much remember. The huge snag in this whole process was I was just plain to sick to do it. My health had been dramatically declining in the past few weeks so I knew I would have to put it off. I waited and waited and waited and finally I saw enough improvement that I thought it would be alright to do. I ...

I was seventeen and felt that it was time for me to get a new piercing. I wanted my septum done. At this point I'd only had my left lobe pierced and that had been with a piercing gun and not with a needle. Needless to say, I was extremely nervous about getting my septum pierced. Having never been pierced with a needle, I had no frame of reference for what the pain would be like but I knew that I had to "suck it up" and "bite the bullet" or I'd be kicking myself for not going through with ...

I suppose I should start this off by explaining why I've opted to write about a nostril piercing today instead of one of the more harrowing and interesting ones I've had done. I guess the best reason is probably just because as I had it done yesterday, it's easily the freshest experience in my mind. The other thing I feel deserves some explanation is that after a reasonably thorough search of the site, nobody's said anything about Dan at Stigmata and I feel the guy deserves some (virtual) ink. Now that that's out of the way on with the ...

My Septum! I'd wanted my septum done for a while after I'd got my first piercing, and I'd heard stories that it was one of the most painful facial piercing you can get. Well I'd already had a smilie, and both nostrils and my nostrils had hurt a LOT, so I figured what the hell, it can't hurt much more than that! I psyched myself up and went into my local piercing studio and asked if I could get it done. The receptionist (and piercer) said that she wouldn't be able to do it because she'd never done one before, ...

I just got out of a very serious two year relationship. When things in my life change, I have to take control. This usually occurs in the form of cutting/dying my hair, but this time I just didn't think that would be sufficient enough to cure the anxiety in my life. My best friend has the cutest nose stud, and I decided that a nose ring would look great on me. So, in passing I mentioned it to my dad, "What do you think about nose rings?" He replied, "I think you are beautiful the way you are, but you ...
