A question about piercings

[RelaxByWater84]

I want to get my nose pierced, but the thing is I get frequent nose bleeds. I was wondering if it is safe for me to get my nose pierced and what kinds of problems might I have.

You can ask the piercer about that. I had my nose pierced and I really enjoyed it! The piercer told me its one of the worst piercings to get besides your nipples and it didn't hurt a bit!

if you get frequent nose bleeds, do you think that getting it pierced is a good idea?

[BrokenWingedFaery]

You should see your doctor about those nosebleeds and find out what's causing them. If you have a bleeding disorder, you should tell the piercer before you get any piercing. By nose do you mean nostril or septum?

Annie, this is something I've wanted since I've been in 5th grade.

 

BWF, I want to get the nostril pierced, I don't want a bull ring, haha I'm definitely a country girl.

If you have bleeding problems, I don't think you should do it. It seems like it would only irritate things. You don't want an infection. Also, don't boogers get caught up in there? That's kind of an icky thought... for me anyway..

[xprincessbugx]

yeah, picking your nose does become a problem lol

[iamteddybearfeelmecuddle]

OMG, and don't even tell about when one catches the flu hehe..

They have been slacking off since I'm not living at home in the cold, dry weather. And I haven't had one since March.

Actually, it's not hard to keep cbr's clean, nostril screws are more difficult, but not impossible.

 

CG, if you want some info, I can direct to a good body mod message board, and some other stuff via PM.

I didn't ask how long you have been wanting a nose ring.

[Anna.]

I had a nose ring. I loved it, but in the winter when you have a cold it can be nasty what gets caught on the inside of the ring in your nose. FOR REAL

 

I don't think it would affect your nose bleeds if you just want to get the cartilage at the bottom of your nose peirced, cause nose bleeds are from inside you nasal passages or whatever.

I also get random nose bleeds--not often, but usually without warning.

 

It really didn't seem like getting my nose pierced affected it that much. In fact, I didn't even bleed when I got mine pierced. It also didn't hurt at all.

 

Still, talk to your piercer before you decide to do it AND make sure you go check the place/piercer out before you make any decisions.

 

Have you discovered why you're getting so many bleeds? I'd do that first, if you haven't.

 

Well, good luck--I've had mine in for almost two years and I love it.
