since i am afraid to tell my mom about this(i don't know why) i would like to do it myself. i am 13 years old and my mom did hers herself when she was 14. she said i could have one now only if she would be able to to it herself. which i am NOT letting HER pierce my skin. im tired of being like everyone else. no one at my school has a nose piercing (believe it or not) and i like to be different. i would like to do it myself, and im wondering how should i go about this. the most painlessly way please.

take a small stud for your ear (preferably not cheap), sharpen the end of it with a nail file, choose the spot on your nose, CLEAN EVERYTHING. steralize your hands, the earring, the back of it and anything else that would come in contact with it. after everythings clean, just shove it through your nose. i do this on my ears all the time, and ive pierced my lip and my friend's nose before and this is how we did it. it worked well. you have to go fast though, the faster the better and the sharper you get the earring the better. it might make you sneeze but just ignore that. afterwards dont touch it, clean it with dial soap 2x/day and put neosporin on it before you go to bed. be anal when you clean it, steralization and cleaning is a huge huge huge part of it. if you clean it well and dont ever forget to then it will heal fine without a problem, but if you slack it will get infected and nasty looking and you might be forced to close it and it might leave a scar.

Please, please don't pierce your nose yourself. It's very painful for a start, nothing will stop it hurting, and it's very unsanitary. The risk of infection is huge, and if it gets infected you'll just have to take it out and it may well leave a scar on your nose that you'll have to live with. There is almost no way of doing a home piercing without a huge risk of infection. It's just not worth the risk. Please talk to your mom about it instead.
If you want to be different, why not think about a less permanent and possibly dangerous way to make yourself stand out, like dying your hair or wearing different clothes? Piercings are a pretty big step to take, especially at such a young age, and you may live to regret it.
Just for the record, I have several piercings myself so I'm not anti in any way, I just think it's way better to wait until you're a bit older, and get it done professionally so it's sterile and safe.

Hi When I was 14 , I pierced my nose myself.. I was so proud of myself until I went to school the next day. Every one ignored me.. they said I was stupid to pierce my body like that.... If I were u I would wait until U were about 15-20...I am 22 and After school that day I let it close up.I peirced it again when I was 17 and it was great.......just get a small nose ring...the big ones look stupid..trust me* : )

Dude, don't do it yourself. And don' let ur mom do it, if you don't trust her. just, find a new way to be different. Unless you can get it professionally done. My friend tried to do it herself, but it got all messed up and nasty and infected. It really hurt her, i wouldn't tak the risk

Noooooooo !!
Go to a professional !!
ALWAYS go to a pro !
If you do it yourself, there's a better chance of it getting infected or messing up... and infected piercings are, like, 839389293 times harder to deal with. Plus, they won't heal as easy.

dont peirce your own nose. It can get infected, even by professionals.
You are 13....and your mom is letting you? Dont do it. It just labels you 'the girl with the nose peircing', or worse, 'the girl with the infected nose peircing'. Gross...
