Three weeks ago I had this insane idea to go and get my nose pierced. Even after all the horror stories I heard. Fastforward --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------->>> to after it was done. The piercer told me to not get sick during the healing process. Like anyone has a choice in the matter.
Now three weeks later, I'm starting to understand what she meant. What the nice lady said: "It's a very bad idea to get sick right now." What she meant: "Fool, you should've waited until after the cold season to get your nose pierced. But hey, it's too late now. Try to avoid sick people at all cost."
So my tip to everyone who reads this and is considering getting a nose ring. Do yourself a solid and wait until the spring. And then get your piercing done. You'll look cool in the summer and you won't have any problems with the healing process. And you don't want to get sick after you just got it done.
Conclusion: A nose ring is a summer thing!
