Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 All the websites I researched said it was virtually pain free, but that was impossible to believe. It was really quick! Afterwards, it felt like someone had kind of pinched me, but it was SO nothing!!! Any discomfort is really just from being so stressed out and scared. But, I will admit, the fact that a woman did it who was talking to me like a baby really helped, LOL! Oh, and I took a larger than average dose of Rescue Remedy just as I was going in, but a Mike's would probably work, too!:D ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 That I picked the smallest, highest quality piece that they had. I would have preferred gold, but it wasn't available at either of the two places I went. The center is Swarovski (sorry about spelling, I should have looked that up first!) crystal, not diamond, like I would have preferred. I don't care for the fact that I can see titanium more than crystal. I have to leave this piece in for 8 weeks, and then they will resize it (because inside nasal swelling will go down and it will get loose, they say. Not that I can fell any swelling, because I don't feel it at all.) But, I still plan on buying two gold pieces: one with diamond, the other with ruby. I just threw that in there because so many people seem interested in the process. ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know tattoo parlors that have someone who does piercings can do it, but is there somewhere else? I'm curious because I read somewhere about having ears pierced at a doctors office and I had never heard of that. I had my nose pierced about 15 years ago, but had it done at a hair salon. They used a piercing gun like Claire's uses for ear piercing, but I read somewhere that you should not have it done that way. I have always wanted to have it repierced. Maybe I will do it for my birthday next month. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you do a search in your area for one, it should be fairly easy to determine who has a good reputation. My cousin went with me, and she said it was the cleanest tattoo parlor that she had ever been in. I thought it was very clean, but I have never been in one before. Everything they used on me was brand new, and she opened the packages in front of me. The proper way to have it done now is with a needle, which went straight into a bio hazard box when she was done. Best of luck! ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

genie Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 LOVE IT!!! One of these days... one of these days. Okay, so here is the question I really want to know about... can you blow your nose? Lately I've been having to blow my nose every time I eat. :confused: I just wonder what it's like to blow your nose with a ring in it?? Is yours the kind that curves around on the inside, or is it a post? That would probably make a difference too, eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenny in Atl Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 My question... how much? It's my b'day next week and maybe I will treat myself to something totally frivolous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gandpsmommy Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It looks great! It is so ironic that you posted this because I just told dh yesterday that I was thinking about getting my nose pierced. It would also seem completely shocking and out of character for me (especially to my parents and siblings). Dh thinks it would be very attractive. I was thinking about having it done for my 30th birthday, which is next month. I really want a diamond, too. I don't know if I have worked up the courage yet. It really helps that you said it wasn't that painful. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Tara~ Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 It really looks nice :) I'm still kind of 'wow..she got her nose pierced..not an 18 yr here or anything..wow..she did it...that is so cool' hehe :p I just think that rocks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 There is a nose screw, yes, but the post gets twisted by the piercer to fit your personal nose. She measured mine. The whole process was very enlightening, and I had Not. A. Clue. beforehand. I actually can blow my nose. I can even sneeze! Several websites I read suggested cleaning the piercing with a saline or sea salt solution, so I have been using the neti pot, since I mentioned that I can't take out the ring for 8 weeks. Seemed like the natural thing to do around here. ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 Not bad I say. Not bad at all! But, I think you're supposed to tip, too, which I forgot being caught up in the moment and all. I'll tip well when I go back for my 8 weeks check. ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elaine Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 First of all, Lisa, you are adorable!!! Why did I think you were a brunette...? I love it and I am so totally green with envy I can't stand it. :D:D:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 So it has been very odd having had several similar comments. Mostly I'm just weird.:D You know- vegan raw food eating, homeschooling weirdo.....:D ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa at Home Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 but a very light one. I do have a profile picture, but my hair is pretty similar to what it is here. Y'all are so funny. I'm not one for living life without consideration in recklessness, but geez-o-peet, you only get one chance to live your life, and I wasn't willing any longer to just not do what I wanted. Why not? I wear diamonds and my good perfume every single day even through toilet cleaning and such are daily ritual here. ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tracey in TX Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 It worked on the testing board, anyway, with the exception of being ginormous! It shows what it needs to, but I don't think it's a very flattering photo. :001_unsure: Pretty photo! Regarding the diamond nose ring, it's both sexy and demure at the same time, and classy (IMHO). Congrats :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Woohoo! You go girl! Congratulations. What else is on your list? I've always wanted a tattoo of a lady bug on my upper-upper-upper thigh. I haven't done it, though. Part of me thinks a "real" tattoo person will snicker at me, and I'll be embarrassed. Of course, that's what always kept me from trying mary-jo-wanna (I was afraid of being laughed at if I coughed), so I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing. Anyway, I'm happy for you. Did your friends see it yet? How about those you were worried about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have just waited until everyone else had several tokes and then tried it. By then they'd already be giggling at a bug on the wall or munching away on Cheetos, and no one would have noticed. :001_cool: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of me thinks a "real" tattoo person will snicker at me, and I'll be embarrassed. No they wouldn't! Tattoos are very personal and the tattoo artists I've known are always very happy when someone comes in with a tat idea they've thought alot about. I have a dragon on my on right thigh, about 4 or 5 inches under my hip. I chose to put it there because I wanted to be able to see it! My dragon has a heart on the end of her tail and my tattoo artist thought it was a cool idea. I knew exactly what she looked like and he drew her from my vision. It was a really cool experience. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Not these people. I saw it happen too many times. They were ruthless! One guy, named Chris, took it as his personal life mission to get me to take a hit. He became such a pain that I made it my personal challenge not to give in. I'm glad I never did. I come from a long line of people with dependency problems, and I inherited some compulsive tendencies (like staying online until all hours of the night/morning). Anyway, I did enjoy the Cheetos. And the peanut M&Ms! :Angel_anim: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzanne in ABQ Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Thanks for the pep talk. With all this inspiration, I might just go do it. There is a tattoo place right across from a restaurant we frequent. I think of it every time I drive out of the parking lot of the restaurant. :driving: The word Tattoo calls to me from across the street, beckoning me. :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa at Home Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 :coolgleamA: By the way, how long have you had it out?

Lisa at Home Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 My list is short. There are only a few things that I really, really want to do in my lifetime. I want to go to Cambodia and visit Ankor Wat, and I want to travel around India. I'd also really like to get thin, but not as much as I wanted to get my nose pierced. :D ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa at Home Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 One of the big reasons I haven't gotten a tattoo was that I was just waiting for the "vision." If that happens, I would be less likely to take so long in acting upon that than the nose ring, because it would almost certainly be hidden. I'm glad to have heard your story!!! ~Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa at Home Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 It was something that I thought about All the time. Last week, all of a sudden, being afraid was just no longer acceptable.
