Hello, I have my nose and my belly button pierced along with multiple ear piercings. For anyone that wants to get a body pricing I encourage it. Except don't try to do it at home. I got both my body piercings professionally done and have had no problem with them. A friend of mine pierced her own nose and it got infected as well as a bubble began to form around her nose stud. So just be careful and make sure you take care of it properly.

Also, if you get your belly button pierced and are out buying belly rings be careful wear you get them and what material they are.

Hi, i pierced my nose and i had to take it out because i didnt have another salution as in an acrylic ring and then it healed perfectly no scaring and i did it myself.

I couldnt proceed after the needle was in because the earing wouldnt gobin for some reason and it was a smaller stud than the needle so my boyfriend said no nose piercings so last night once again i went needle piercing as i have high tolerance for pain but this hurt i thought in the lower cartilage part but i pierced my belly button and it was less pain. Alot less. I did both in one night. My ear is sore to the touch but it does twist nicely so im assuming i did well.

The belly helix ring is fine i just cleaned it it bled a sec barely and clear liquid came out so i think i did everything right. I am so scared to have anyone do my piercings for some reason i getvto the point of passing out so i back out. Id rather do my own and ok ts only when im in a bad mood so its worth it almost painless.

I have 13 tattoos ive gotten while in really bad moods and never once hurt at all not that they would anyways. So now i just have to do the cleaning healing process. It took me a while to get the needle through for some reason, its either i have tough skin, or needle wasnt as sharp as it shouldve been or i maybe was afraid to push lol not sure but not one regret at all.

Love them. Im aftaid to go to a salon to have it done just thinking about it makes me nauseas but its weird i fee comfortable doing it myself. Can someone tell me why that is?

Im ready to do my inner labias next. Hello,I'm Hannah. If you really want piercing as bad as me then you would want to pay for ,look after it carefully,don't touch it only when clean it and find a really good shop to get pieried at.

It's going to hurt. You are getting stabbed. Everyone will experience it differently. Personally, my septum was a painful process but after the initial procedure it was okay. Touching it hurt a lot but it was alright. Don't get cartilage on both ears at the same time. Most cartilage piercings have a healing time between 8 - 12 weeks. Only touch them to clean them. Only touch them with clean hands. I'd avoid nasal piercings in winter, a runny nose and a fresh septum piercing is an awful combination!

I had my nose and cartilage pierced 5days ago with a needle and really feels great didn't experience and redness or discomfort. I suggest everyone uses a needle it's safer.

I have a question.

And I don't know what to do. Towards the end of August, I will be having the piercing for two years.

It's cool and awesome to have, and I've changed it a couple of times after the first year and all. But, its been two years and it still hurts. I take it out and clean it with solution and sometimes Hydrogen Peroxide. I turn the piercing all of the time but it still hurts. What can I do? People tell me to change piercings, but to what? Can I put regular earrings in, or does it have to be a cartilage piercing?

I really don't know if there is a difference or not I haven't taken the time to learn I'm tired of my piercing hurting. I'm tempted to just take it out and let it close up, but I wanted to try something else before I turn to that.

I had a "bar" piercing with needle a few years ago but took it out because the top cartilage took forever to heal even after 4months it still hurts so I remove it and the holes heal back. I just did a helix piercing with gun a few weeks ago, I removed the earrings becuz the gun put the back too far on my ears and drop then in saline and insert them back in right after I clean my ears, it still hurts like hell but I really like the piercings.

I clean it once a day and twist it now and then. Thanks for this. I was just thinking of getting another set of piercings on my ear.

I've wanted this for a while but recently just made a full time commitment to softball. I am also a catcher, so when I fling the mask off it might take the earing with it. I just got my 2 piercings in my forward helix 2 days ago with the needle, for me it didn't hurt at all u felt a pinch and then it was gone and I have a very low pain tolerance. It was also fast and there's no kick with the gun and no scary stuff about the shattering.

I honestly though it was really easy no pain other then a little after wards when everything's done u feel a little sore so I am not sleeping on that side. If anyone does want to get there cartilage pierced I would say go for it cause the needle didn't hurt at all and almost all the sore pain is gone and I can almost put all my weight frkm my head on that side and only after 2 days!
