It’s not uncommon for people to document their body modifications. (Actually, what don’t we document these days?) When I got my first tattoo, I had four friends there snapping photos every step of the way. And now Evan Rachel Wood has posted a video of herself getting her nose pierced! Click here to watch it!
I have my nose pierced, but I’m awfully glad that the process was never recorded. I don’t exactly look glamorous going through painful experiences. But Evan somehow pulls it off beautifully, in typical movie star style. Find out more about her piercing at the source! [via E!]
What do you think of this video?

Well… that makes me a bit nervous to get my nose pierced.

@LaughOutLoudLauren@xanga - it’s a piece of cake, don’t worry! The pain is different for everyone (I have double nostrils, the first one hurt like a mofo, the second one was much easier) but even if it hurts it only lasts 2 seconds at best. Good luck (:

@youarethepretender@xanga - That information is helpful. Thank you!

I would have loved to have a video of when I got my belly button pierced. I’m pretty sure I went cross-eyed. They person who pierced me though was really good. She didn’t give me any time to back down and just did it! So grateful! haha.
But, I’ve heard that getting your nose done is pretty painful, and so is getting the bar on your ear, I can’t remember what it’s called. I’ve heard that that is the most painful piercing to get. My sister got it and she said that she almost passed out, and she has a really high pain tolerance!

@xhalesx@revelife - Do you mean an industrial? I’ve heard the same, apparently it hurts really bad.

@xhalesx@revelife -
It is the industrial, my boyfriend has his done and it was the worst in regards to hurting afterwards. It was for like, weeks, that he’d wake up in the middle of the night because he rolled on that side and it hurt so bad that he woke up or I went to touch his hair and I’d hit it.
I have my tongue peirced, and it was definately… different. It hurt, obviously, but I think I had an unfortunate situation. The clamp was just so uncomfortable and my entire throat hurt from having to stick my tongue out so far, which was probably the worst part. The actual peircing only lasted a second, so it’s not that big of a deal to me. But when she was screwing the bottom ball on she dropped it down my shirt and had to go digging around my bra for it! So I was so uncomfortable from the clamp and my tongue hurt and I was drooling eeeeeeeverywhere and, yeah. Hahaha. Totally worth it, though!
I peirced my sternum too last year, like a micro dermal peircing. I wouldn’t say it hurt, but it was a weird, weird sensation. I could feel her screwing it into my chest. My boyfriends best friend who was watching turned right white and almost got sick, though.

I love that MCR song playing in the background!
It didn’t look like it hurt too bad. I used to want a nose piercing, but my parents were pretty big on no facial piercings. haha
Also, I freaking love Evan Rachel Wood! <3

@daydreams_nightmares@xanga - @thatkyliegirlx@xanga - Yes! That’s the one. For some reason I couldn’t remember what it was called. And yea, my sister’s ear bled for a long time too. She also had to get it re-pierced because the ball on the end fell off and it fell out. She said that getting it re-pierced was worse than the first time. And I believe it.

I think she’s brave to put it up not knowing what her reaction would be, haha.
Mine was the worst one I’ve had so far but still not unbearable. >.>

Yeah she pulls it off “beautifully”…
“Aw, F*ck”

i got my nose pierced and the pain only lasted 10 seconds max for me… pushing through the nose and a little pain after that. i teared up for less than 10 seconds and that was that. idk why she’s moaning in pain, i was quiet, but i guess we each deal with pain in our own ways. for those of you who want to get your nose pierced but are scared, i think you should go for it. the pain doesn’t last long! idk about other stories you might have heard, it might be different for each person, but it wasn’t that bad for me!
