Share your nose ring story here - Ettukkallu Besthri Potta...

Hi all,
Reading each one's experience make me even more nervous. I just have another 25 days more for my wedding. And my In las keep stressing upon the nose stud. Am really worried about the pain and will it suit all my dress types.
So, should i ask for traditional piercing in the Gold shop instead of Gun is what I got. Any suggestions and consolations for me?

Thanks,
Maha

Re: My nose piercing and my life partner!

Hey Thanks Ami,
Sorry as the thread has been moved here i didn't see your reply for so long. I don't know if it had vanished i would have done it again or not but for now i like the fact that i have an option to wear one of my few favourite ornaments. (I really don't like jewelery much its only very few authentic ones like Nath, Thushi and real ear rings no studs or screw ones but rings)

 

Hi Mahalakshmi,

I would suggest go in for normal Nose piercing as if you are going to wear nose stud with thick stem then the hole made by gun piercing will need to be widened as the stud will not easily pass through the hole. In normal piercing, the hole can be made a big one while piercing itself.

Dear Friends,

Interesting to know painful and happy experiences with nose studs. I am not from SI, so no experience of such experience for me.. though I have seen my grandmas generation, all my grandmas (my own and my fathers auntys) all with small nose studs. And I can't imagine their faces without that small nice glitter on their face! Even my eldest Aunty had her nose pierced and looked beautiful with the nose ring or a nose stud!

Neither my Mom nor me was interested for it.... given my generation and also because of my dreaded experience of my ear piercing! So I am deviating from nose piercing experience to ear piercing.... Sorry ladies... It was done when I was very young (nursery or so... and that time I used to eagerly wait when I'd have my ears pierced and wear those earrings I saw my Mom and Auntys flaunting

Oh God... What an experience I had. I was insistent and was in my grandpa's place for a vacation. My grandma brought a very old lady, her village-friend probably. She pierced it with a needle with a thread attached to it. No preparation, no antiseptic... I was with the attahced thread for a few days then was shifted to neem stick. During piercing I didn't feel much pain or so...OMG... after a few days, it started swelling with some fluid dripping :spin My brother used to tease me 'your ears have become like dates plants, that juice is dripping always:rotfl)


I had to undergo medication and let the holes go.... over time they were closed... I had my ears pierced again after years when i was grown up by a medical practitioner.

Dear Maha,
I do not know about the SI rituals. If u do not have plans to carry it on for long or not much passionate for it, then can go for a the press-fit varieties for which piercing is not required:idea

Dear Maha

What happened , did u do that , share the experience ..... wish u a very happy married life

 

My mother did try to pierce my nose, but thanks to that holy pimple which popped out at that place, blocking the pierced hole. Till now I have that scar of 'attempt to pierce', but I am happy that I don't have to wear the nose ring, as it doesn't suit my face at all.
Well at the time of my marriage, old ladies used to stare at my bare nose, so for there eye's satisfaction I used to stick a diamond bindi on my nose and I was quite successful on bluffing them as nobody came to know that it a bindi not a diamond nose ring.

 

Very smart ... gr8 .....
