I wanted to get my nose pierced since I was 15…but the fear of the pain deterred me. It took me a long time to get over shots…so, anything involving needs makes me uncomfortable.
But…I REALLY wanted to get it done. It wasn’t a phase…couldn’t get over it…and then about several years later…got it done. It was done with a gun. It was quick and painless. Alhudmolillah it never got infected. It’s like getting your ear pierced. You never see the needle in the gun (that’s a plus for me). When it was over and done with…I wanted to kick myself for being so chicken about it and not getting it sooner. Had I overcome the fear…could have sported a cute nose pin in high school. But INSTEAD…I let my fears overwhelm me…and instead got it done when I was getting my Masters, lol.
If somebody like me can get it done, so can you 
I went to the mall and there was this guy at a jewelry store who did piercings. He told me that he was planning to open his own professional tattoo and piercing parlor in a few weeks. He said that he would pierce my nose with a gun. At first I was really wary about that because I had read so many articles saying that gun piercing is unprofessional and has a greater chance for infection. So…I brought that up with him. Asked him, “Isn’t it advised not to get your nose pierced with a gun?” He said, “I’ll be honest. If I pierce your nose with a needle, it will hurt more because the needle is shoved. But with a gun, it’ll hurt less and it’ll be faster. It’s up to you.” So, I went with the gun…it was over so quickly…he told me to put neosporin on it. I never had problems with it
Nose piercing is the second common piercing after ears. It it was THAT PAINFUL…then so many people around the world wouldn’t get it done. The gun worked for me, but if you’re wary about infections…then opt for the needle. But don’t let it scare you. Get it done.
