Ok...so here's the montage of pictures in order:

1. Going in...

2. The official "before" photo:

3. Getting informed of the nose-pierfcing "process" by the piercer-guy, Cyrus:

4. a "dot" marked the spot (getting more nervous now)

1. OUCH is right....but only for like 15 seconds!

2. my eyes were watering from the few seconds of pain....this is me seeing it in the mirror for the first time!

3. And another "after" photo I took yesterday in the studio.

"The end"

OUCH!!!

When I see a pierced nose I always wonder what happens when they get a head cold and need to blow their nose. LOL

Tink, I always wonder the same thing.

Passion, good for you!! Sounds like you deserve a little rebellion, and what a well documented experience. Sounds like you have a very good friend there.

Did he numb it at all in any way? What holds it in the nose...does it have something like the ones on the ears? I would never do this myself, but if I was younger....I just find it all so fascinating.

ROFL - can imagine standing in public, and having to sneeze (nasty vizuals)

rofl don't want to be the one standing at their side! LOL

I have to say I think it's cute... but I'm a wimp and couldn't do that to my nose.

It made me hurt to even look at the pictures!!!! I've always wondered about blowing your nose with one of those in too. There surely has to be a back to the nose ring. Right? Don't think that I could do it either!

Thanks for the compliments, ladies!

To be honest, I always wondered about having a nose ring having to blow my nose, too!

So, to answer your questions, the nose ring is shaped kinda like an L, so it actually goes through but lays flat along my nostril. So really, it doesn't affect the inside of my nose much at all.

Janet - no numbing at all! Err...yeah I just had to cringe in pain for a few seconds. But I feel so proud of myself for being so hardcore. (haha) I ain't gonna lie...it hurrrt but seriously only for a few seconds and when it was over, it hasn't hurt since.

For the first few hours after I got it pierced it felt like I had a boogie in my nose...a very strange feeling....but even by that evening, or now, it's not noticeable at all until I see myself in the mirror. It didn't swell, either...I really thought it would, but it didn't.

And the aftercare is sooooo simple. All I have to do is spray saline solution on it every few hours.
