The nose has quite a lot of nerves running through it which means that nose piercings can be quite painful, however the level of pain all generally depends on the individual and how much pain they feel.
Despite this however, a lot of people say that getting their nose pierced did not hurt a lot. Some people say that it hurt less than getting their ear lobes pierced. The only thing they said was that it made their eyes water and their nose tingle. Have you ever banged your nose and got a horrible tingling sensation that has made your eyes water? That is the feeling that they have compared it to.
A word of warning that many people appear to give is that you should go to a place where they use a needle to pierce noses instead of a gun. Piercing guns are meant for ear lobes where there is no cartilage, unlike the top of the ear. Needles are better to use in places with cartilage because using a gun comes with the risk that the cartilage might shatter upon the piercing.
People advise that if you tell the piercer that you are nervous when you go in to get the piercing then this tends to help, for reasons unknown. A lot of places may also apply a small amount of numbing gel to the area getting pierced which may help to alleviate the pain.
What you need to remember is that the pain will only be there for a temporary moment, although it may feel sore afterwards. When you are getting it done, just grit your teeth and deal with it and afterwards you can apply some ice or a cold flannel and take some painkillers or Ibuprofen to help get rid of some of the stinging.
