Hiya, MJITC! On Christmas Eve, I saw one of my young cousins, who'd gotten a nose piercing since the last time I'd seen her. It was one of those teeny, tiny studs, a little light blue jewel no bigger than a pinhead, practically, and it was quite beautiful. She said it really wasn't painful at all and that it was over so quickly it wasn't a big deal. I wish I'd asked her more about it, like whether they used a little piercing machine or just did it by hand, but the placement was perfect, and it was so small and looked really good. I was impressed.
