Geez, the way people go on about something as simple as a nostril piercing! More painful than childbirth....pfffft.

I had mine pierced about 17 years ago & I've had it double-pierced twice (didn't keep the second piercing either time, though). The pain was moderate but just for a split second, the healing process is a bit tricky as the piercing is a little sore. Just take good care of cleaning it and such and don't be tempted to switch out your jewelry too soon - that's really important. I've always enjoyed my nostril piercing a lot, never regretted it a bit.

Enjoy!
