What are pros and cons of nostril piercing?

There aren't rally any pros or cons, it just depends on whether you like it  or not. From my experience it wan't a big deal. The pain of the actual piercing is minimal, just a little pinch. I think small and tasteful is better, I hate seeing huge studs in peoples' noses, but each to his own. \n\nI guess there is one con I can think of. Unless you work in a creative environment or some independently owned business, the piercing may be a problem. It's not like an earring that you can just take in and out. It can get irritated from taking it in and out and even if you do, there's still a hole in your nose! (I don't know why some pemployers think this looks better than a tasteful, small stud.)

I started my gagued out ears with a regular (healed) pierced hole, and gagued them out little by little. I was extremely happy with the results, but it took some time. I was going to have it gagued out larger initially, until I took into consideration the fact that there would be a void in my lobes should I ever decide I wanted a change. I am glad (in retrospect) that I didn't have them use the larger hollow needle to pierce them when I started, because my current job does not allow that type of body modification under the dress code. Although that is unsettling, it is a fact, and I now make ten dollars more on the hour. If you start out with a regular small hole, you can remove the plugs, retainers, etc. and your ears will go back to normal very quickly.

First of all ewwwwww.\n\nSelf mutilation may be popular right now, but piercings will not help your looks as you age. You're going to get wrinkles and now your adding holes too?

initial pain and healing time aside, I would go tongue - you can show it off when you want to, but it's not a problem if you need to hide it for any reason (like work) because you can put a clear bar in and voila!  Also, if you are not 100% sure, at least if you change your mind then you won't have a little scar leftover where everyone can see :P\nI have never heard of any higher incidence of cancer in people with certain piercings.  Remember, it is not an open wound, the skin completely heals so the smoke wouldn't be getting into your bloodstream at all from the actual piercing...

I don't see how that's possible. Either question. Two of our children wanted to get their noses pierced and we told them no, they could do what they wanted when they moved out. A few years later both had reached legal age and moved out, now their 30 & 33 and neither has pierced their noses. It was just a passing thing I guess. Your parents for now are your boss and you should listen to them and respect their choices for you so long as you know it's nothing to harm you.

I have several things pierced. They include my left nipple, left ear (normal), left eyebrow, labret, and navel. I got all these many years ago though, so I hardly wear pieces in them now.

You can hide a belly button later in life. But you can't hide a nose or lip piercing. Additionally, bacteria whether you clean the spot or not is going to get in the wound. I have personally seen someone die from a cavity infection. Now, it isn't likely that you would have a problem...but why do something like that? Is it so cool? \n\nListen to your mom. She may have some wisdom on you.

There are many reasons why a man or woman gets pierced/tattooed. This seems to be a sexist question.  Why question why do WOMEN get tattoos and piercings?\n\nSome PEOPLE choose it as a means of adornment.  This ranges in desire/values from purely decorative to shocking in nature.  It is a choice.  The range of acceptance differs, so will the range of what those who want to "shock" will "wear" as well.\n\nTattooing and piercing have gone quite mainstream so a brow or tongue piercing twenty years ago would illicit more 'shock value' than it does today.  People have resorted to implants and other extreme means of body modification for that now.\n\nWe get many women in the shop who are getting tattoos as GIFTS for their husbands - I am talking 25th wedding anniversary presents, so this is not just for the youth of our society.\n\nMany tattoos are thought out well in advance and have a very special spiritual meaning.  Let's face it, if everyone liked tweed jackets and hush puppies, look how boring it would be!\n\nHair color has gone extreme, even with men.  It is so much fun now, even in conservative environments, people are loosening up and becoming more tolerant.

It is preferred to use surgical steel until the site heals as this reduces the likelihood of infection.  If you would like to use a clear retainer this is likely to work and the risk of infection could be virtually eliminated using a prescription antiobiotic ointment called mupirocin which is an inexpensive generic.  Piercings remain a curiosity to many adults but they are quite common and I am certain that your parents will accept you for who you are.

Pros:  Cheaper, Learning Experience, Cure for boredom, a lot of fun, Improves hand-eye coordination.\n\nCons: There are no cons.\n\nIf you're nervous, you should should first practice a surgery on some innocent animals in the neighborhood.  Maybe even a homeless person.

Yes, you are better off getting a prescription from your doctor or do what I do, if you have sinus problems, allergy problems  (I have had them forever) the best thing I have found is this:\n\nGROSSAN HYDRO PULSE/HYDROPULSE NASAL/SINUS IRRIGATION\n\nThis sounds gross, (maybe that is why it is named Grossan) but it has cleared up any sinus infections I get.  Email me if you have any questions.  You can do a search on EBay to see what it is.

Pain is a staight of mind. And naturally, this is defined by the individual. Thus for one getting their nose peirced may be  practically painless, while for another excrusiating. Honestly when it comes to piercing, the most painful part is the half second during the actual moment you are pierced after that your body immediatly releases chemicals that dull the pain making it fill more like a throbbing or hot sensation. This is our bodies way of dealing with sudden trauma.
