Those with both nose and ear piercings which one was more painful??

Did the nose piercing hurt a lot? I like seeing people with nose piercings but I’d never get mine pierced. I’m thinking of getting a clip on instead. I have a fear of needles.

I have both ears pierced all-around, one nostril, septum and my navel. None of the piercings hurt initially. The difference was the healing process. The upper ear cartridge took the longest to heal and the septum was second. The only serious pain from those piercings were if the jewelry got caught and tugged.

I found the nose piercings well worth the effort and will eventually get the other nostril done. In the long run, piercings are much easier than a clip.
