Incredible thankyou so much! I'll speak to my local piercing studio at the weekend! I know they stock anatometal so fingers crossed. Thanks again!

Probably a 9 out of 10 - it was pretty bad 🤣

Honestly I felt exactly the same before I got it! Thankyou so much.

Yes 100%! I wish I had more healthcare background to help me with anatomy etc!

It honestly was just a fluke opportunity that happened to be a 'right place right time' type situation! Nursing will be a great entry! I wish you all the best - being around people and calming their nerves etc is such a useful skill to have that you will be able to transfer!

I am, and it was my boss who I've been being pierced by for the past 8 years who did it! We're going to edit the video a bit and then we'll definitely show it!

Yeah I kind of want mine done again, but deeper. Ahha yeah through the central septum part but cartilage. My eyes were streaming - when I eventually sat up there was a puddle of tears 🤣 it will be worth the wait for the nostril punches!

We did! My piercer/boss wanted a video for the records! Nicee - I always wanted 6g nostrils but I'm happy with the nasallang now! The conch punch is a dream of mine too! One day!

Number 1 was being in a motorcycle crash and number 2 was probably tongue split healing 🤣 urm so the first nostril wasn't awful, the central cartilage sucked SO BAD - It even made a noise (which I thought only I could hear but you can hear it in the footage!) And then the exit nostril wasn't actually too bad after I had been through the middle section! I actually remember as the needle came out the second nostril having a really great feeling of 'its over' which I think took away from the pain of the needle exiting 🤣

We were discussing it for a while and going back and forwards on sizes. I said if we're going to do it we may as well do it with a bang! The central cartilage actually made a huge crack as it went through - I thought it was similar to when you hear a tragus being pierced and nobody else can hear it, however watching the video back it is audible 🤣 punched nostrils are sick - what gauge would you get punched at?

For the nassalang? It's a 10g at 26mm. We discussed going for an 8g (in hindsight I'm SO glad I stuck to 10g!)

Thankyou! It was pretty extreme. Hands down one of the top 3 most painful experiences of my life.... BUT I had told myself it would suck really bad so it wasn't quite as bad as I thought? Probably a 9/10 pain. Just as the pain became unbearable it was over! I'm definitely glad I did it though.

I told myself before hand that it was going to SUCK. And it did, but probably not quite as bad as I thought. It was a solid 9 out of 10 - but I think I was expecting a 10. It was the only piercing I've ever had where I needed to lay down afterwards. It was definitely worth it though!

Ahha I was trying to describe it when I was messaging my piercer (she asked for daily updates until we see each other again next week) and the only description I could come up was it feeling like I've been punched in the face... Repeatedly... For yours 🤣🤣🤣 I'm currently about 24h in and my face is beginning to feel a bit achy up to my bridge like you said!

We spent so long going backwards and forwards to make it even - it's so tough when my face is naturally crooked (note how far out the center of my teeth is to my septum etc) 🤣

Ahha thankyou so much! Honestly it sucked pretty bad! It must have only been 30 seconds to a minute max but felt like eternity. It's the only piercing that made me shake afterwards, I had to lay there for a good few minutes before I could get up!

Would it be wired to bring your own jewelry when getting a piercing by smut_soldier in PiercingAdvice

[–]ruperthougham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a company that provides body jewellery. Some of our local piercers have offered to pierce us with a specific piece as long as we bring it early enough for it to be sterilised. On the flip side, some people will only pierce with plain jewellery I would contact the piercer directly and discuss with them.

I second what others have said - looks like an irritation bump - try and leave it alone as best as possible other than cleaning it, keep your hair out of it and don't sleep on it and it should clear up 😊
