About 10 years ago I got my nose pierced, and the piercer used a regular earring stud for the initial pierce, is it still the same way? I am looking to get it done again, but have a narrow nose, and I know that the smaller the setting the better, but I dont want to have to wear that huge stud again, until it heals. Any suggestions?

Nope! Piercers now use a long, hollow needle with what they call a nostril screw attached to the end. It's small, and relatively painless, even with complications.
I have a tiny nose and they had to do some serious maneuvering, including using a blunt-tipped needle (OWWWW!!!!), but it still didn't hurt that much, more of a general feeling of pain.
After, it does not hurt at all, which makes sense since your nose, unlike ears, never rests on a pillow, or against a phone, or against hair. The screw also stays put nicely and is much less worrisome than a nose "bone," which is the other style.

No they use one that is kind of curved so that it stays in your nose better with out the end poking you so it lines with you nose .

No they use studs that kinda look like cork screws
