who else has a nose ring again?

[Babydoll]

Ive got a question for ya if you post back!

[Eternity]

I have a stud.. I keep meanin to get around to changin it for a ring, but havent found a thick enough one yet.


Or dya mean cartilidge piercing, like a bullring thro the middle? My Bf has one of those.

[Babydoll]

actually by ring i meant screw. lol. im not specifica enough i guess.


i want to get it changed to a pin type stud, and its been about 5 weeks. too soon yet?

[Eternity]

Hard to say... is it 9 weeks they say for nose studs still still or 6? I forget.


Id say if it doesnt hurt too much to take change it then its fine- so long as you keep it clean nmove it to stop it stickin in place it should be okay whateva ya do really, healing times are different for diff ppl, n how long they tell ya to leave it in is only a guide. Ya know yaself whether its still sore or not!

[Babydoll]

it doesnt hurt at all anymore, i move it in and out when cleaning it everyday and it only hurts if i pull it the wrong way by mistake or something.


my piercer said he'd do it for free ( changing) so I'll give him a call and see what he says. i hate the look of the screws because they stick out, andlook like a big pimple on the side of your nose ,the pin types are so much flatter and prettier.

Heh kool. Im gonna get 2 more bars thro my eyebrow next [img]smileys/smilies_04.gif[/img]


I think Im becomin obsessed. Only Im a poor student now so I cant afford them for agessss n I want a tattoo first, which my parents still ademently refuse to pay for for my birthday [img]smileys/smilies_06.gif[/img]

isnt it wierd how it can become addicting?


Ihave had my ears done numerous times ( took them all out expect for 2 in each ear and my cartalige)


by belly button done twice, which rejected BOTH times. so I gave up on that one..


and last my nose, which i love and am keeping as long as I can. I dont think more than one facial piercing looks good on me so Im stopping there but I know i could go crazy if I didnt think that and just get more and more.


but its wierd... its pain, yet addicting. when i go to the doc and geta needle i panic, yet when i get a piercing done its an exciting different feeling. crazy huh?

[Eternity]

I hate injections to the point where I havent had half of my imunisations lol.. but Ive no prob with a guy stickin a needle thro my tongue or lip. I think its just that theres no way a piercing will make you sick, but immunisations are injecting a dead or dying virus into you, that thought makes me cringe!


Yay! I got my ears done a few times n at the top n nose n eyebrow as well as the aforementioned ones, no belly button one tho- that one makes me squirm for some reason. (n Ive got too much of a belly neway!) Im movin on to tats now tho Theyre purdyyy.

I have a screw. I say if it's completely healed, then you can change it.


I'd ask your piercer just to be sure. I've had mine for 2 months and it's still not healed.[img]smileys/smilies_07.gif[/img]

[Babydoll]

2 months? this screw is driving me up the wall because it keeps hanging out of my nose. lol.


I hope i wont have to wait that long!

[crazybeautiful]

Yea. lol. I went through some bad times with my nose!!!! I had a nosebone in right from the start....and it was bad, it swelled up and the bone was coming out....So i went to a piercer here (I got it done in Alberta) and they fixed it up for me, kinda pierced it again and put a screw in....so now I have the dreaded "bump" (I dunno if you ever had it!) And it's slowly healing. But it can take 1 month up to 6 months or more to fully and correctly heal. So I have to keep this screw in 'till then. Then I want to get a more tasteful, small one.


If the screw is hanging out of your nose it may not be bent properly, my "tail" lol, points up towards my face in my nose.

[Babydoll]

its supposed to go upwards, but i have to keep turning it or it falls down, and out my nose. I keep grossing my mom out with it, its pretty funny.


thats what I want, a nosebone, but doesnt it hurt getting put in? i mean, the ball mis BIGGER than the hole in your nose, or supposed to be..?

[crazybeautiful]

Yea. Nosebones aren't very good for your nose. Because if you put it in, it actually stretchs the hole! Because there is a little ball on the end, yea they are pretty and cheap, but not really made for a nose that healing! You can get some screws that are small, I plan on getting one called a "freckle". I will post some pics up here for ya. I'd go get your piercer to take a look, it sounds like the screw is too long for your nose, or not bent properly!


This is mine done, aftera day or two, it has a nosebone in, look how small it is. But look how red it is!!

[Babydoll]

yours is so tiny! see I have small features, so mine looks too big, and it sticks out. sigh. guess im doomed to wait till it fully heals.


but its deff worth the wait. I love it. how long have you had yours again?

[crazybeautiful]

LOL that's such a bad pic.


That was about 2 months ago....I don't have that tiny one anymore, it's a screw now and a bit bigger. I don't have a good pic of it though.
