What hurts worse a tattoe or a small piercing in your nose?

Question

I was debating on whether to get stars tattoed on my feet or a small piercing on my nose like this http://nmallory.exit-23.net/wordpress/wp-content/thumb-Me000039.JPG. I have four piercings, one which I did myself, on my ear. If I decided to get my nose pierced is the pain worse or less than getting your cartillege pierced. Please describe what they do, care, pain, and cost. Thanks!

Answer 1

A tattoo would hurt a lot more than a nose-piercing.
I haven't had my cartilage pierced but I know people who have. Cartilage piercings can hurt quite a bit and take longer to heal than most other piercings.

I have my nose pierced and it was nearly painless.
The piercer just cleans the area, lets you pick out a stud and pokes the needle through. What little pain there is only lasts for about two seconds and afterwards you don't feel much of anything...just a little pinchy i guess. They'll probably give you a salt-water solution to take care of it with and you can also do warm water or chamomile soaks.
The cost was somewhere around $40.

summarized : both tattoos and cartilage piercings hurt more than a nose-piercing

However, pain is different for everyone so be wary of that.
Hope this helps =]

Answer 2

the tattoo would truly hurt worst, the process which is used to tattoo is a needle process which Perice the skin to apply the colors this process can take several hours depending on the the design of the tattoo . Nose piercing on the other hand is done with a gun like device which is very quickly and causes minimal amount of pain..... Since you've already had piercings the care of and cost you should be familiar with nose piercing would cost the same as an ear and it should be cleaned with an antiseptic 3X's daily.
