Wikianswers in not a venue to provide how to information that can lead to serious personal injury.

Its pretty much illegal everywhere to use a piercing gun for piercings like that, even cartilage in some states- because it causes severe trauma to the tissue which makes the piercing more open to infection.

The one that is used by the professional body piercer who pierces your nose when you go in for your appointment at the piercing studio. Don't mess up your nose trying to do it yourself, you will end up with it in the wrong place and possibly giving yourself an infection you will have a hard time fighting. See a professional body piercer that's what they are there for.

There is a whole process that the piercer will go through, from cleaning to marking to piercing to the final placement of the ring or nostril screw. If you go to a professional piercing studio you will fine out when the time comes to get the piercing.

What do they use for industrial piercings and how do they do it?

For industrial piercings, a needle, usually 16 gauge, is used. The ear is marked so the piercer knows where to put the needle, and the needle goes through both pieces of cartilage. Then, the bar is inserted through the needle, the needle is removed, and the other end is screwed onto the ball. This video shows how its done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfPM-esijW

Are nose piercings supposed to bleed I watched videos on you tube and couldn't find any that bled. I bled a lot right after my nose piercing. And I'm wondering if it was done right.?

Chances are that the piercer used a larger size needle than the piercing jewelry. If both the needle and the jewelry are the same size, there should be little or no blood, but if the needle is larger than the jewelry, the jewelry doesnt completely "plug the hole". Another thing that could have happened is that you have thin blood (or did on that day - caffeine, alcohol etc can cause this), and more seeped out than for most people. Hope that helps No, its not The piercer may have just used a needle larger than normal, or he could have struck a blood vessel or vein. He clearly didnt know what he was doing

How much does it cost to get your nose pierced at the piercing pagoda?

I took my Daughter there, & they based the price on the jewelry you buy & the "piercing" part is considered free. She had her ears done for $22 (including tax) for sterling silver small diamond like earrings. We chose sterling silver instead of gold or silver b/c I have noticed that most people who can only wear gold or silver earrings had there ears pierced w/ gold or silver piercings. So I know it's vague but I'd say the nose piercings are anywhere from $20 to $40. I had mine done some place else for $25. But they used a gun instead of a needle (the gun has a chance of shattering your cartilage in your nose)
