self piercing? not sure what category this would go under...


Question Posted Thursday February 2 2006, 11:24 pm

i'm 15, and i really want my nose pierced. my dad would not let me get it pierced, no matter how much i beg, no matter what. on the other hand, my mom said she would let me get it pierced, in a heart beat. obviously i'm not going to have my mom take me to get my nose-pierced, as my parents are still together, and i'm not going to have them get into a huge argument over some stupid little thing. so, since i'm kind of an idiot (haha), i've been thinking about piercing my own nose. i know my dad would make me take it out, if he saw it. so maybe piercing it, and then putting a flathead pin in, and putting a little concealer on over it would hide it? probably not. but what my main question is, is would piercing my own nose be really dangerous? i know that i could get an infection. but would it travel up to my brain and kill me? well, not so extreme, but could i really be putting myself in a life or death situation? if you haven't noticed from my other questions, i'm paranoid of everything. sorry.

thanks for any help that you could give me, though.

self-piercing IS dangerous, but like you said, it's not going to "travel up your brain and kill" you..but in some rare cases, bad piercing jobs end up fatal. But most likely, i can garuntee you, that it WILL get infected and you're gonna end up with one ugly bump on your nose that everyone will notice. seriously. so lets say you pierce it yourself..yay now you have an infection where everyone can see the ball of infectious fluid between your nostril. But now you want to put a flathead pin in it! Yay for transferring even more bacteria into your new infection! And then!... clogging up the bacteria-infested infection with concealer and make-up?! Yeah. good luck with that.

Okay umm well what i'm trying to say is that this is not a good idea haha. Anyways you definetly have to use certain needles and jewelry for piercings so it doesnt get infected. And your dad might get mad at your for shoving a metal spike through your face? I dont know, just a guess. I know it seems like you want it done soo bad but when you do get it done, its not gonna be that great. I was happy when i got my nose pierced..but i dont know about it now. I see more and more girls walking around with crooked piercing jobs on their noses and nose rings the size of a rock. But, i still love my piercings. =].

So the decision is up to you!
Good luck and I hope i help!

I really wouldnt pierce it youself, seriously, iv peirced my own ears and stuff, (iv had 7 n each ear at one point) but i wouldnt suggest your nose and it has loads and loads nerves and stuff in certain places, it wouldnt kill you, well it shouldnt do, but it could get seriously infected, and you dont want something thats gonna scar just for a little peircing, how about waiting till your 16, you should be able to get it done without a guardian then, but i should tell your dad that you really want it done, and say to him that its your choice when your 16, you can also tell him that if you get it done profeshionally then it wont get infected, and it its really that noticable when you get home, could you please have a trial period of a week, or something like that, hope i helped

no it wouldnt kill you. :) but can have infections. and it aint gonna feel good. i had a friend who had a peircing in her nose. she didnt liked it at all. it can really hurt even when the hole was there a year ago. especially when cleaning your nose, uugh! you wont be able to do it properly because it hurts. plus, a hole in your face would only ruin your young and beautiful skin. :) yes, i know having it done may sound really really cool at this time, but you will regret it sooner or later. here's a tip: only veryyyyyyyy few guys like girls with nose peircings. :) and you did good thnking it might ruin your parents' relationship. so dont do it. :)
