Please ONLY answer this question if you're a piercer or if you've had your nose pierced!!
I'm getting my nose pierced next weekend. You can choose whether you'd rather have the L-shaped nose stud thing, or the one that's like, got an actual "backing" or whatever.
Which is better? Meaning, which is less likely to fall out or get pulled out by my 3-year-old sister?
Now, about the amount of pain. It honestly didn't hurt me too badly. You have a needle going through your body, of course you are going to feel it. I would compare it to someone pinching you, but the pain is only for a split second. It throbs a bit after, but doesn't really hurt. I got my left nostril done, and my left eye watered, but that's a typical reaction, not because I was crying. It's nothing too bad though.

as for the pain, i cant really say exactly, becuase everyone has different pain tolerances. for me, it was comparable to the top of your ear, if youve had that done, but a little bit more painful. but its deffinetly worth it=]

the backing is kinda funny feeling cause its just stuffed in your nostril and occationally pops out and looks like a booger.and i havent triend the L shaped one,so ima not sure on that one
but since its in your nose, your lil sis shouldnt be able to reach the peircing.but she is @ the age of learning how things work in the world and she will also try and test her limits with things.if she looks like shes gonna go for your nose ,stop her and tell her no.
