also what piercings or tattoos do you guys have

i got my ears, nose and one tattoo

I'm pretty sure it's normal if it's bleeding a little bit, but just take care of it and clean it up nice and good. Whenever I got my piercings, they always bled a few days after.

ok thanks man i thought it would be normal. what do u have pierced?
also if anyone has a nose ring after it heals in like 6 weeks or w/e, is it ok to take it out for like a day or 2 because when i see my dad i cant have it in lol

My ears, I'm pretty lame. I'm more into tattoos, but am still thinking of what to get.

Watch out about taking your stud out that soon, MyMJ, especially for an entire day or two. You know how it's bleeding this long? Well, the nose has a lot of small blood vessels and capillaries. That vasculature not only allows it to do its job, but it also means a little puncture wound, especially a fresh one, will granulate and heal over more quickly.Your body will try and close that piercing as fast as it can to protect the opening in the skin from infection.

If you take a stud out of a fresh piercing and it begins to heal and close itself, you will then have to wait to have it re-pierced till it's healed back completely in a few weeks or you'll have to hurt yourself and force that stud back through the newly healed-over opening, re-opening the wound. That will put you at even worse risk of infection, and trust me, you don't want an infection in the cartilage and skin of your nose. You carry nasty bacteria in there that could possibly kick off a bad, disfiguring skin infection.

If you're really not able to face your dad with a pierced nose, then you should have waited till you were free of his influence. Or you should put a little piece of Band-Aid over the tiny stud to cover the place and keep as much distance between you and your dad as possible so he won't notice it.

I wish I could still have my face peircings. I still have my tounge done but I had to take out my eye brow one for all my jobs and I just left it out. A lot of jobs are weird about that stuff. And I could only get my one tattoo that I wanted b/c again, im becoming a teacher and I cant have any that would show. So alas, all I have is a huge lower back one.

Just be careful hun, especially if you want a job somewhere. A lot of places will make you take out your peircings.

I've never had bleeding problems with my piercings. But I've also never had my nose pierced.

I have 2 lip piercings (snake bite) and I have my dick pierced (frenum) and I've never had bleeding problems.

Maybe your blood doesn't clot as fast. It's probably not a real big issue. Give it a week and I bet it won't bleed anymore and after 4 weeks, you won't even notice it's there.
