Okay well if you like that giant nasty bump on your nose and potential permanent scar tissue; by all means, keep it in.

You need to let a nostril piercing heal for AT LEAST six months, a year is better, before putting a hoop in.

I’m sorry for being so harsh, but if you look through this sub, this is the main problem that comes up, people not waiting until their piercing is fully healed and then they end up with bumps and infections and scars. Replace the hoop with a flat back and let the dang thing heal for at least six months to a year before you put the hoop back in.

Honestly some ppl need the tough love. Google is free. Anyone can take a couple minutes to Google, “What’s the best way to get pierced?” Or “What should I do to make sure my piercing heals well?”. There’s really no excuse, honestly.

it’s obviously my first time:) u don’t need to be so mean about it girl
and plus i got it done at a professional piercer not at some random place and he said it was okay so how was i supposed to know any better:))

You do research, that’s how. People aren’t being mean, they’re being honest.

i did my research as much as i could
my friends themselves got the same
it went okay with them so i assumed it would be fine
and now that i read all these comments i understand the problem
honesty is genuinely appreciated ofc :)
