What's it like to get your nose pierced? how can you avoid infection and pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Its a piercing so it will hurt a little - sometimes you can apply an OTC lidocaine gel to minimize the pain. With regard to infections - there is a risk but its small - once done keep both sides clean
