Definitely have your nose professionally pierced with a NEEDLE. A gun is quicker but it can shatter your cartilage or hit a nerve. It is much safer to use a needle. Trust me I have gotten my nose pierced and so have a couple of my friends. You should get it done with a needle. I had the top of my ear (where the cartilage is) with a gun and it deformed my ear in a way. Not like its falling off or anything but there's an indention in it now.

It's not about which is less painful here, it's about which method is better. The best choice hands down is using a needle. The piercing gun wasn't made to pierce the nose. The studs used in the gun were designed to pierce the flesh of the ear. The nose is made of thick cartilage, and in some instances the gun fails to pierce the nose on the first attempt. A needle produces a very quick, short, sharp pain, but because the studs in the gun are more blunt they are forced through the wound by brute force. This often results in some level of trauma to the wound and can cause pain for several days afterwards.
The whole reason for getting your nose pierced is for aesthetics too, and it is very hard to sometimes get the proper placement using the gun. Also, the studs used in the gun are the larger ear ones. Using a needle you'll have less pain, and you'll be able to wear a smaller stud immediately. The needle is definitely the way to go.

Yes. A needle won't shatter the cartilage in your nose like the gun will. I had my upper ear pierced with the gun (years ago) and my body kept trying to reject the stud because it recognised it as a foreign object and after 6 months I had to take it out so when I got my nose pierced i had the needle and haven't had any probs at all. Also, it's easier with a needle to get the piercing in exactly the right spot.

I personally don't believe in hurting yourself. BUT, if you choose to hurt yourself, do so with a needle. I can't speak from experience, but reason suggest that a needle will be more precise and controlled. I would definitely believe those who say that a gun transmits too much energy where it doesn't belong causing more damage than necessary. I donate blood. Needles aren't bad. The big difference is the number of nerve cells per unit area. More nerve cells equals more pain. You accept it or don't have the procedure done. Sorry.

Piercing guns are never used by proper piercing professionals because they are inaccurate and can be dangerous. Needles are best but only in the hands of a certified piercer.

you should NEVER have ANYTHING pierced with a gun. They're unsafe for several reasons. No reputable piercer would do it, so if someone wants to pierce you with a gun, find a different piercer, one that keeps up with current standards and practices.

When you are mutilating your face, shouldn't pain, infection, etc be part of the experience?
