This was the most dramatic nose piercing
Why has nobody replied on this
@@miranda605 exactly
Imma reply🤠
FR
I know right , septums hurt a bit more but it isnt a big deal especially a regular nose peircing , so i dont why they made it seem like it was a crazy transformation , its easy to take out and repierce if u clean well for less pain
They made the gun seem like literal satan
Well, it is actually really bad for you
@@kirin1230 ?
@@chaesun1119 The piercing gun. It is bad for you to get your ears pierced with a piercing gun.
@@kirin1230 you just said that.. I wanna know the real reason
@@chaesun1119 The needle is pierced in with such speed that it makes the wound take longer to heal that with a needle. The guns cannot be cleaned properly which increases the risk of infection. Using a gun shows the person performing the piercing is not a professional and has had little to know training, this leads to them missing and the holes being asymmetrical. Guns have been banned in use for piercing in areas other than the earlobe due to the dangers of them. Please, go to a piercing parlor where everything is sanitised and the staff are trained professionals.
“Pain is temporary. Vanity is forever”

“Pain is temporary. Vanity is forever”
No one:
Suicide
wait, she had to wait till 10th grade to get ear piercings done? For me, it was done some time after I was born.
Haha same! By 10th grade I actually had 8-9 piercings!
tabassum khan I got mine in 4th grade.
Me too
Saaaaame
@@giornogiovanna397 u a sinner?

Omh Ikr!!! And I loveee your profile pic 😭🥺
Thanks 😘☺️
Hubsle 99 that’s the noise it makes- its cartilage-
Hubsle 99 thats wat I’m sayinnnn
Ikr it gives me anxiety
whatever camera they used to film this should win an award.
Jayden Aaliyah why out of all the comment they like yours lmao
honestly 👏👏
For “best closeup” and “best HD”?
It feels like an asmr video.
Jayden Aaliyah fr
someone had way too much fun with the sound effects
eye lish 🤣
and im not mad for it 😂
Omg yes, so freaking true, i hate it😂
Eye lish…. Yeah
eye lish literally made crunching noises as they pierced .. like how tf is that supposed to make me feel better?! 😑
All the girls who got their ears pierced with a gun at Claires as little kids are quaking rn.
Daisy Blueeyedboy I got mine as a guy last week and it’s aight
i got mine done at somewhere called Skin Creations and they used a gun and tbh i preferred it over a needle
Daisy Blueeyedboy it was a gun, sure but AT WALMART
I would like a gun better honestly. Plus I was like 4 so I don’t remember everything but it did t hurt that much
I got 8 ear piercings as a child at a jewellery store with a piercing gun. It was a mess to heal, especially at my cartilage. I’m still mad at my mom for not doing any research before sending me away to get pierced.
The guy: *pierces*
The camera: *zooms in uncomfortably far*
The sound effects: *c r o n c h*
Me: *is seriously rethinking wanting a nose piercing*
Tyleigh Daigle really? Mine didn’t hurt at all
Autumn Grace well I also did mine myself and the needle won’t go thru my nose
I got mine done today with a gun and it wasn’t that bad like it only lasted 2 seconds, my eyes welled up but it was okay , its really quick but its really sore afterwards
Tyleigh Daigle well if you did it by yourself it obviously would hurt more lmao
Why is this soo dramatic 💀 like the editor had a dream of working in serial killer documentaries
LMAOOOO that’s so funny to me for some reason
It’s the crunchy noises for me
Lmfaoo on god
😂😂😂😂i watched 10 seconds of it..pain is temporary, vanity is..and read this comment hahaha
It’s scary
Is it me or when he gets that needle right in the dot perfectly it’s so satisfying
No I was literally saying the same thing
YESS i was thinking the same thing
Everyone is moaning about the sound effects, but it makes me laugh lol
exactly loooll
Who tf is getting turned on by the sound effects 😂
@@agentone8511 me 🥶🥶
Just scarred me for life with that gun
yes😂
i had 3 piercings on my lobe w the gun and i got cartilage today w a needle
I already have my ears pierced three times that still made me rethink my nose piercing
It looks scarier but it hurts way less
Same even tho I got pierced with one 3 times-
Guys this series is called macro beauty. It’s meant to be close up takes of different cosmetic things. That’s why the sounds and editing is like this.
You make getting an ear or nose piercing sound like a whole murder scene….
Alana Cruse true 👍🏻
Its so dumb lol
This comment made me laugh so hard! Hahaha
Soo true !!! 😂😂
@@katherinek3314 in any
I have a nostril peircing and I promise it doesn’t make that noise lmao it feels like a very fast, tiny pinch and the whole thing is done in seconds. There is a sharp soreness after but it goes away within a day or two. Don’t let the horror movie sound effects in this video scare you, it’s nothing like that. Also something most people know, but I’ll say it anyway: PLEASE don’t peirce your own nose (or body in general). Chances are you won’t do it right and you’ll probably hurt yourself or get an infection. Go to a professional.
Well it does make that noise is just that you can’t hear it
I pierced my nail by myself. Used a stapler, I know, I’m a badass. 😎😎😎😎😎
Thanks for this I want to get my nose pierced I’m scared it will hurt tho
@@laurenkoob7994 The pain is very small and brief honestly. I will say that I know a few people who are afraid of needles and because they’re nervous, to them it feels more painful, but it’s kind of in their heads. There is soreness after and it can sting a little to sneeze, but that’s over in a few days. It’s really not bad at all!
@@KHADIJA48584 thank u so much I’m thinking it
To the people who want to get their nose pierced, this video is just extremely intense. When I got mine Pierced, I sat down, she asked me if I was ready and within 20 seconds everything from the piercing untill the jewelry got in was done. I am very sensitive with Needles so I Felt dizzy, got myself Some sugary stuff and then got better. And tbh, it was indeed a Sharp pinch for like 2 seconds but once its in, the needle pushing through etc really isn’t that bad and you’ll enjoy it for the rest of your life 🙂
I had the same thing with the dizziness, do you know why that happens?
This is late but for anyone seeing this now, its due to low blood sugar. Just like getting a tattoo, I’d suggest eating or drinking an energy drink or smth before a piercing
Thats crazy when I got my nose pierced about three weeks ago, there was no creeking sound effects and nobody was scrambling eggs in the background. Disappointed I missed the experience.
I got my done today and I didn’t get anything either 🙁 no creaking doors, no visceral skin puncture noises. Nothing
Dude I got mine done December 31st, and im disappointed w the amount of sound effects that I didnt get to experience. It was upsetting.
LMAOO it’s actly sound fx. They are doing things similar as they do in actual production of movies. They make sounds more dramatic by actually getting creative and using different objects to recreate, and or, make more dramatic sounds to maximize the dramatization and record those sounds.
@• Ik she was joking lol. I’m just rly interested in making sound fx and just wanted to splurge a lil knowledge on y’all lmao 💀🤦🏻♀️
I laugh so hard at the scrambled eggs hahaha
For me its not only aesthetics. Its also a symbol for myself that I can withstand pain. I have an anxiety disorder and i feel like my piercings symbolise ive lost my innosence of life. But i can survive pain. The procedure itself is almost cermonial.
I love this, couldn’t agree more about the procedure feeling ceremonial
That was kinda beautiful the way you worded that. I came for piercings and got poetry…nice job!
