What do nose piercings feel like?

it basically feels like you got punched in the nose.

Well I don't know where the above person got there piercing done but in hands of a professional body piercer the nostril piercing is quick and simple with a mild pinch, but not at all like getting punched in the face.

When you get it done your eyes start to water, it feels like a pinch. But after you should be very careful not to bang it or irritate it otherwise it will hurt.
