Piercing questions?? HALP!
15 years ago
General
I'm mostly posting this to get the last meme off my page... BUT I was wondering, who has experience with nostril, septum or conch piercings? I'm thinking about getting at least one of those, but I wanted more info first...
I already have my lobes pierced (and stretching; currently at 2g and going up to 1/2"), so I kinda know how the piercing thing goes. BUT I'm terrified of needles, especially ones coming at my face... so if anybody has the same fear of needles and has facial piercings, info/encouragement would be greatly appreciated. :]
Also, the worst thing about piercings (even worse than needles coming at my face) is the smell of the parlor. It smells like hospital and it makes me really afraid to get work done.
HALP GUYS :[

It's like a person who's afraid of dogs getting a pet dog. You are illogical.
On another note: Why would you be complaining about a clean shop? That almost mind boggling retarded. If you went to a parlor that smelled anything otherwise, it's be smart of you to turn tail and scramble.
You afraid of needles now? You'll be shitting yerself when you get one from a dirty shop and end up with some form of hepatitis or AIDS.
Never complain about a clean shop. And if you don't like needled, don't get pierced. Simple as that. You are creating a problem were there does not need to be one. Find some other way to show your badass/emo/heard fallowing ways.
So quite yer bitchin' like a dumbshit and either take it or leave it. I didn't tell you do to Jack Diddley shit. I gave you my honest truthful option.
BUT ANYWAYS.
I have my nose pierced and have had it for yeeears. I am not afraid of needles in any way, maybe when they go to stick ya, just close your eyes. It stings a lil bit, kinda like a reeeeally small pimple that makes your eye tear a lil bit. BUt yeah maybe close your eyes??? *shrug*
And if the parlor smells anything but clean I would get the hell out of there before anyone touches me and wash myself lol
If you are that afraid of it I would suggest not doing it though.
Yeah I was just thinking of keeping my eyes closed the whole time. I definitely don't want to see the needle at all. I'd be taking my fiance with me anyway so he can make sure the needle is sterilized and whatnot.
It wasn't that painful though huh? That's good to know.
I know the smell is a good smell, I just associate it with bad things I guess. Maybe I could breathe through my mouth the whole time or something. XD
Thank you for your reply. :)
That's a good idea! Everything should be in a new package and they should have gloves and eeeverything is steril. Just like when you go to the dentist and everything is individually packeged.
Nah not painful at all! Bled a bit, but nothing big!
I totally understand what you mean. It reminds me of bed pans and just some sad stuff.
haha that would work too, it's prolly better if you do that when you are afraid.
Stop you from freaking out so badly.
No problem! :3
Yeah my piercer was really good about that when he pierced my lobes. I saw the gloves, but not the needle. XD I think my fiance said it was packaged and stuff though.
I'm glad it doesn't sound too painful, and you guys made me feel better about the hospital smell. :) I have a better feeling about it now.
Good, as long as it's newly packaged and such! And they are clean themselves, there shouldn't be a problem :3
I think it all depends on the amount of pain you can withstand, it can be big for some and nothing for others. :B Good to hear!! I hope it all goes well for you!!!!
Don't you have your lip done too? How was that?
Hahaha XD
Yep, I have my lip and 3 in each ear with, with 2g in my lobes and 4 in my right with a cartilage piercing.
The lip was a breeeeze. ( I did it myself lol I used to do that a lot, but I don't ever recommend that hahaha )
The conch makes a popping noise, when it happens, but it hurts only for seconds, and then it's just warm. Takes longer to heal, then soft tissue, but it's a nice piercing.
The septum, if done right, is done between the cartilge and outter bit of skin, and dosen't hurt hardly at all. Heals super easy (but you learn to pick your nose) X3
And the nostril is fairly quick and painless,but again, you pick your nose, and have to be careful of accidentally pulling it out while putting on clothes. BTW, I took my 56 year old Mom to go get her nose done, and she's a WUS, and was ok after it was done. She saidit didn't hurt afterwards at all. X3
And yea, if the shop DOSEN'T smell like a hospital, then RUN AWAY!
Plus, the nice thing is if you get yer ear done, you can't see the needle, if you get yer nose done, you can close your eyes. No needles :D
Haha that's funny about your mom. XD I think I'm leaning towards getting my right nostril done at 16g with a captive.
The hospital smell just gives me bad vibes for some reason. :/ But you and kairithekat helped me feel way more comfortable about this. Thank you so much for replying. :)
And it sounds like you have a good idea of what yer looking for, 16g is a good size, it'll be adorable I'm sure.
And I'm really glad kairithekat and I could help comfort you about the weird smell thing. Hospitals tend to be places of emergencies, so it's perfectly rational to feel anxious about that sort of thing, and smells are the strongest triggers to people.
Be sure to let us see the shiney bit when you get it ^^
