    It's actually not that bad. It feels like a little pinch. But it depends on how you handle pain. But it really isn't that bad.

  • It all depends on the person and their tolerence to pain.

    If you don't think that pain is a factor for you..it shouldn't pain too much. Obviously it's going to hurt a little..but I mean, if you're scared of needles, then it's going to hurt a lot more.

    Its personal perference.

    I didn't find it too bad, it was definitely my most painful piercing..since I had it done with a needle...( guns are illegal now anyways! ) . I've had other piercings. My ears are done..around 9 times or so. and i've got my bellybutton done.

    With a nose piercing it's bound to hurt regardless , usually. Since your nose is THICK cartlidge, yeah, it does hurt a bit. Ntohing you can't handle. If you really want the peircing bad enough, the pain shouldn't be a factor:)

    But your eyes will water and it may bleeed a lot.. just a heads up =]

    It's actually not that bad. I got my ears pierced when I was 14 and I thought that was the worst pain I'd felt in my life (they used the gun...never use the gun!!!). So I was scared to get my nose done...I have a low-threshold for pain...so I was surprised after I got my nose done how little it hurt. After that I got my belly button done (also isn't too bad, but a little more painful than the nose) and now I want to get more piercings. It's really super quick so it doesn't hurt much at all.

    I got mine pierced a few years ago and it really hurt, my eye watered also lol The bad part is i got fired from my job.My boss said take it out or you are fired..well, I tried but it was so sore i couldn't ,so i was fired. LOL the only time i have ever got fired. And i let it grow up anyways so it was stupid to do it.

    well if your getting it done professionally it won't, at least not too bad. i got mine pierced about a year ago my friend just pierced it with an earring and ive always worn an earring in it. only got alittle bit infected. lol. depends on your tolerance of pain, though.

    I think the part that hurts the most is the last layer of skin in your nostril. I tried to do it myself with a needle, but could not get it through the last layer, but if you have it professionally done they just stab it in you so it won't hurt for too long.

    It didn't hurt me at all the first time but the second time yeah because scar tissue developed. It feels like a little pinch.

    Source(s): I've had my nose pierced 3 times.

    What hurts someone might not hurt as bad to someone else. It's just a pinch, really. Your eye will probably water, but it's not terrible.

    For me it was less painful than getting my ear cartilage pierced.
