Answer 3

Piercing holes do not get bigger unless the gauge you put in them is larger or unless you have a habit of frequently yanking on it, even so it would take a lot of yanking to even stretch the hole a tad bigger. I would think if you had your piercing until you were well into you're 50's and your skin started to wrinkle, it may droop a little but... It's not going to get bigger randomly lol.

Well it depends on how you want to hide it. One of the easiest ways is to make sure that the jewelry is clear. It will make it less noticeable but would not be hide-able for very long. The best thing to do is to get a half ring and flip it up so the 2 end parts are in your nose and it is not easy to see. If it's clear, that will help too. But remember it's hard to hide facial piercings. Not to mention it's going to hurt like h**l for the first month, and you're going to be turning it and ugh.. can't even think of that pain anymore.

When I got snakebites and a monroe at 14, my dad wouldn't look at me for 2 months but he got used to it just like the rest of my family and eventually, they forgot they were there.

Now the septum was another story though. My dad just could not deal with that, my brother didn't like it and my mom tried to get me to remove it. I ended up removing it a while after getting it, simply because I thought it distracted too much and I'm not a big fan of nose piercings. Happy to say I only have 1 lip ring now though LOL. Not what I thought I'd have at 16.

I would say that you should get a fake piercing and wear it around the house, let your dad notice it and see what he does. Make him believe you really got it done, then when he gets used to it, take it out and tell him it was not real and he'll see that it's not that bad and you'll have more support when you go get it, even though he may not be 100% behind you.

Answer 4

lmao at the answers above me!It wont stretch like big or anything,but if you have it for years and years you might be able to put a slightly bigger ring in.nothing u can notice.and yes its very easy to hide it(especially if the jewelry's black).I've been hiding mine for 6 months from my mom :)
