I got a nose piercing! 

She has the perfect nose for piercing. Looks amazing

I got my nose pierced like this is 2013. No gloves just straight up piercing and I'm lucky to not have gotten an infection. Guys please make sure the person piercing has gloves on or atleast washed their hands with soap. It is rare to get an infection like that but never impossible

Omg! It's not supposed to hurt people!! Please, please get it done by a professional who's been doing this for a while. When I got mine I clenched my eyes closed scared that it was gonna hurt but to my surprise I didn't realise when the guy did the piercing. His hand was that good. And absolutely no blood.

Yeah... that looks traumatic... 😅 My guy in lajpat Nagar central market, delhi had a much better technique of cleaning everything with rubbing alcohol, cuting the pin into a sharp point and making it quick. It hurt as much as plucking a hair out with a tweezer. 🤷‍♀️

Please in future get it done by a reputable piercer. They should be wearing gloves and should pierce with a needle, they insert a stud not a hoop as hoops can cause irritation for healing piercings. This is just begging for an infection unfortunately. And it should not hurt much. Hopefully it heals well❤

I remember my mum telling me how they do piercings in India. I'm glad I got my ears done in the UK! Your nose piercing looks great 😊

The pain we feel while piercing depends person to person and also the person doing it. I have pierced my nose many times because I used to get infection pretty easily and the piercing used to get erased. When I was child it used to hurt really bad but the last two times I did the pain was zero just like a neddle poking slightly.

I’m actually horrified that he’s not wearing gloves. And doing it with the jewellery???? That’s forcing a blunt object through the skin and can cause major issues!! It should always be done with a fresh sharp hollow needle!!! It looks very cute, but please insist that they wear gloves to protect you. I’m a nurse and it’s SO important for infection control and prevention

That’s beautiful and so symbolic that you got it done with your mom in India. ❤

I actually got my nose pierced the same way when I went to India and it didn’t really hurt after that day. Soon they swapped the wire with a small wire piece of neem branch which supposedly contains anti microbial properties to help w puss and prevent any infection. Later on I swapped it w a diamond stud and haven’t had any problems since. It’s been around three months since I got my piercing

Your reaction was me.... Crying silent tears, with a lot of blood, and the piercing needle ordered off eBay!! Same with my lip! Worth it though!! Keep cleaning the outside and inner nose with a mild saline solution to avoid crusties and help healing! Looks good!

The “freshie” part is so relateable 😭😭 I’m half Bengali and my mum always loved the idea of me getting a nose piercing as she got one when she was my age. I got one not long ago and i absolutely love it! Btw the hoop really suits you❤️

This is an age old piercing technique and they wash their hands and pierce with gold sometimes they are hot. Usually done by goldsmiths and better than gunshots.

I love it it suits you beautifully!!! I got mine 12 years ago to honor my African and Indian ancestors 😊

YES! A piercing friendly nose! Looks absolutely beautiful ❤💫

Desi women are so beautiful with nose piercings! I love how even older aunties have theirs pierced ❤

this isn't how you should get it pierced. Go to a doctor or a professional. This can give u so many infections, its done using a machine nowadays and it doesn't even hurt. Be careful

One of the reasons Indian parents tend to do it in the early childhood is because the nose skin and muscle are comparatively soft making it easier to pierce and less painful.

Looks good on you ,I wonder if someone ever started sneezing during the piecing 😂

Girl I went on the same journey. Didn’t want to look like a freshie either but got it pierced on my 33rd bday and I absolutely love it. Makes me feel connected with my Indian culture

It looks good but please make sure that they don’t use just a piercing that’s very harmful and he needs to be wearing gloves

For those saying no gloves etc like it or not wvery cuktures different a d sont always require all those things 🤷 my moms native and wanted to do my nose and belly button at home too. Also most places dont use a " hoop" in the initial piercings in many shops. It just depends on culture, and laws etc

That guy doing piercing was brutal...so unnecessary and terrible technique. Keep crust removed and add antibiotic creme. He didn't even use gloves. Good grief.

the piercing looks so good on you!

Awww looks really nice on you! ❤

Piercing is better with the needle straight through bc the gun takes longer to heel and causes trauma.

It looks so good. But I’m scared now of getting one

"Cries in culture" lmao I'm dead 😂😂😂

I had my nose pierced and it was done in Bangladesh with a needle that wad sterile. She used thread to loop through and told me to move it gently after a few hours. She used thread as this natural and if we started putting metals the chemicals can affect the healing and adjusting of the peirce. I wasn't in pain as she used ice to numb the nose but did feel the needle go through it caused my eyes to water but not too painful. If we can't find any studs to put through in Bangladesh they usually put a small thorn from rose or lemon bush/plant.

Are you from Andhra Pradesh or telangana? sorry i am curious to know because i have heard her saying... ipoyindhi yendhuku arusthunnav?

Ngl Damm ,u looked so pretty 😭 after handling this much of pain

It looks so pretty on her

You look pretty with it. Really suits you

Beautiful 😍 I thinknits sweet how in some cultures and families body piercing is normal and a beauty routine

The fact that you think you dont look indian without nose piercing blows my mind.

I got my nose pierced at the age of 11 and literally. I didn't felt that much pain 😅

I am Indian male. 4 weeks ago I had my karnaveda means ear piercing in a temple. Done with sterile sewing needle and cotton thread tied like a ring in both ear lobes. Kept for 11 days. After removing the thread hoop earrings put in the piercing. Almost same type she is wearing. There is no problem and feeling comfortable. You have to keep the piercing clean so no infection.

Keep embracing your culture. More power to you girlll

This is the traditional way any piercing is done in many parts of India. Firstly, they are professionals who would have been doing this for generations. They are called 'sunaar' or goldsmith who along with making and selling jewellery also do piercings. It is a more auspicious thing for them to do a piercing so it is very much respected. The sunaar uses the end of a gold coil which will be heated and sharpened to pierce. Those with more experience avoid the nerve somehow. They ask us to use the water left when rice is almost cooked and apply it in the area at home. We now know this is used to heal any damage to skin and prevent infections. Yes there are usually no gloves or alcohol rubbing but even without them people have had piercings done in the past for generations. And yes it is more painful but that just makes it a personal choice for anyone to opt for it or not. It doesn't make it right or wrong, or good or bad. And something to remember is piercing a cartilage is harder than soft flesh so it bound to painful. If ppl still come at me here saying it is not safe, I don't know what to say. Many traditional methods in many parts of the world look different from the urban culture and if it works, it works.

Crazy, idk why people come to the US and want to hide their authenticity. There is so much Americanized culture and I feel a little cheated after I discover how amazing authentic cultural holidays and foods are. Not just for the many Indian cultures but all cultures that find their way to the US. Don’t be embarrassed to be a “freshie”

i got my nose piercing done this way too with a Ragi wire. They sharpen the wire and pierce. And yes i do agree they should have more sanitary conditions, my piercer didn't too. But everybody reacts differently and 15secs in and i fainted. The next thing i was sitting on the ground (i was standing when i got it pierced) and it was so damn straining for my body😆😅 I kept it on for 15days and there was blood and bruising in that spot and i removed the nose ring and put a small Neem Stick on my nose and BOOM, all my bruises and pain was gone in 4 days and then i put on a gold nose ring 😁 it's an experience to get it pierced in India this way. Gunshots are said to be more harmful cause of how violently it snaps in the skin. It was an experience and wouldn't have gotten it any other way

I had to pierce my nose twice because when I used this method the first time I got infected and couldn't take off the ring for 6months (because it pained me to even touch it). Then I took off the ring and again got it pierced in 2019 before my 12th grade finals and that too with a gun! It didn't get infected

From an Indian who wants her nosed pierced too ! It looks so cute !

I love how the comment section is aware about infections and all. But guys, the main thing is, in Indian traditional way, they really do not pierce ur nose or ears with needles. The place she went to was a traditional one, and they all do it directly with the piercing. Yes it has chances kf contamination, and it can be done anywhere else for that purposes. But it's just something that traditional jewelers will never learn, and it's hygiene while doing these. My whole family has gotten pearcings done like that and it's really common, so if someone is concious about getting infections, it's safe to say don't go to a local, traditional jeweler.

Don't them use numbing spray or cream to numb the area so that it doesn't hurt when pierced? I thought they did it with a machine like they do in our place (bangladesh)

I've always heard you need to pierce with a straight bar and once it's healed move to a circular piece of jewelry as it heals better.

Thank god when I got my nose pierced last year, they used a numbing cream and it wasn't painful at all.

My grandma wanted me and my cousin to get our noses pierced and I never liked it but my cousin did so just for her she included me in this too. So I was really scared of my dad back then and my grandma ofc talked him into this and one day they took me to the piercing guy's place without telling me where they are taking me and then made my dad stand in front of me to scare me into getting it and forced me to pierce my nose. I was so traumatized by that guys and I still am and it brings me tears when I think of it even now. I was 7 years old back then and I'm 21 now. 😞

He pierced your nose with the hoop?? 😅omg that might have hurt you 😮 no needles used??

I have got my ears pierced by the same technique like almost every person in India at 6 years old its not a permanent jwellery but a sharp gold or silver wire honestly never met anyone who got an infection ❤

I always heard Indian saying stuff about "looking like a freshie" like what is that even means. Please love your heritage. I know we all growing up in the west far from home but there's no reason to not be proud of being Indian and its heritage. Not everything in the west is great, and not everything in where we came from is great. Both have its good and bad. We take the good and leave the bad. We need to stop this mentality of "the west" is better than us. They are not. We all can learn from each other but no one is greater than the other we all human beings with its own culture. And its good to keep your heritage alive bcs it's who you are, your culture, your heritage. Why we judging our own people just bcs now we "living in the west" so we have this "better than the rest" mentality. I hope more and more people started to change this mindset 😅

I got my piercing at a salon and the women were from India and just used a regular piercing gun. It felt like a huge pinch but it only hurt for like a minute! However, I learned that this method can be so dangerous. So please be careful! My dad went with me and we originally didn’t know there was anything wrong with the piercing gun

Ohhh nooo that’s such a brutal way of piercing ears and nose. I would’ve screamed too 😮😮😢😢

Wait a minute they pierced it STRAIGHT THROUGH WITH THE PIERCING??? Gurl what?? I can’t imagine that oh my-

They didn’t even use those pierces. They just use the hinges to shove it in your nose.

I got my nose pierced a month ago and omg the guy even cut the tip of jewellery sharp and it still hurt like hell 😂 but I love how it looks!

If I were gonna get a new piercing and the one who was doing it, had no gloves on, I'd get up and leave. Hope u enjoy ur new peircing!

I have 10 piercings…and none of them hurt as much as this video. Are you ok? Is this how my friends felt watching me?

I got my nose piercing when I was 3-4 years old and I didn't felt any pain and I live piercings so I feel great having a nose piercing.

All the people here trying to throw possibly everything on how he should've worn gloves and whatever yeah I agree but it won't really kill you if that happens. Address it sure, but pls try to also come out w something positive and to say, duh! Seema, this looks gorgeous on you. A great addition to your piercings. ❤😊

I got mine done when I was 12 on the left side as it’s the desi side aha it actually wasn’t too painful thank god. I’m 25 going on 26 soon and I’ve only changed the jewellery once it’s one of my favourite piercings.

Omg youre so beautiful ❤

I have a septum piercing. That shit hurt so much that I don’t even know if I’m ever going to take it off 😂😂😂😂. You look stunning with the piercing ❤

I had my nose pierced while visiting India at 6 yrs old by a man rolling by my Aunt's house in a bike. I was the coolest going into 3rd grade lol

How come you did not get an infection? I always get infections when I pierce my ears. The infection stays for weeks.

In india we get our nise peirced as a baby because once you grow up your nose grows thick too which causes a lottt like a lottt pain

It really suits you and you looks absolutely stunning with it. I’m punjabi and had my ears pierced when i was about 10. I guess i was more of a modern child born and raised in the streets of East London 😂

That's why guys my mum got my nose pierced when i was 11... She knew it will hurt more the older i get😂😂

I understand the pain and it's very much valid

A nose ring always look better on everyone. You look nice with nose ring ❤

Apply hot boroline as my time you can and don’t forget to rotate the nose ring . Speaking from my experience. It looks pretty ❤

I am genuinely curious as to why it is done the way it is done. I have several piercings in my face myself, all done by a local piercer. And comparing the process...I am just genuinely curious as to: Why was the piercer not wearing gloves? Why did he not use a needle? Why was the blunt jewellery used? I would assume that it has to do with the meaning of the piercing, traditions, etc. but it also does seem (from a western point of view) unhygenic which is why I am genuinely interested in an explanation.

I remember a friend of mine who pierced her nose and was unable to speak for a whole day

The scream is what killed me.

Your so pretty omg

Im an Indian and I pierced my nose when I was in 4th std

Ooowee the sound she made when she got pierced made me stand up aaaww!!! Sexy I had a vivid vision 😊❤❤❤

Its doesn't hurt when u r younger but it get hurt when you get older because when we are young like at age of 11 to 20 our nose skin is not hard it is smooth

the nose ring really suits you and you look great dear

Im speechless 😭

While I have definitely been pierced like this before, I will never do it again. It's just begging for an infection. 9 out of 10 times nothing will happen but you don't want to be that unlucky 1. Also, these piercings take a lot longer to heal.

you look stunning with it 😍

Oh lord i also got my nose pierced in similar way and it felt like piercing iron nailss through your skull 😭😭

Getting piercing at a younger age is better,because as we grow up our skin becomes thicker I mean especially the nose area it is soft when young

Also why did the guy who was putting the point on your nose with the marker press it in so damn hard 😂

I’m curious. What does the nose piercing mean in your culture?

So beautiful be proud of your culture ❤❤❤❤❤

I got my nose piercing recently im now 19 years old and me too i love it

Cries in culture 💀

"I didn't want to look like a freshie" my brown millennial ass who grew up in the 2000s and 2010s laughed so hard at this

Believe me it hurts a bit .. I got my joes pierced 3 times 😭 And this was my 3 year of getting the piercing and its gone..cause i played with it so much that it broke and my mom didnt took me to the shop and now i have to wait for 4th piercing 🤧😭😭😭

When I got my nose pierced, I had such a bad migraine that the piercing didn't hurt at all. 😢

She’s so cute

The reason its bad to pierce with a blunt object ( like the end of a piece of jewellery) is because its kind of like poking a pencil through a piece of paper - its tearing through the skin . As opposed to a needle which is hollowed out that " punches" through the skin . Plus he's not wearing gloves and the sterilisation situation seems none existent 😭

That look so scary even though I know that Indian jewelry are usually higher carat gold so that mean the material itself is antibacterial but still scary

You should always go for a stud nose pin in order to avoid piercing bump

Anyone curious about if it hurts bad to get pierced it depends on if you get a gun or needle needle tends to hurt more!

Can boys also do nose piercing?

That’s quite the old technique of piercing. There have been new ways to get it done without any pain and blood.

My mom got my nose pierced when I was 3 yrs old and till date I'm wearing the same gold nose ring. It looks stunning ❤
