Today, I had a spur of the moment idea to go have my nose pierced. The piercer made sure to tell me how easily the little stud could get caught or hung up. I spent all day stressing over it only to scratch my nose and rip it out. Now I have a $40 bleeding hole in my nose. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was adjusting my nose piercing from the inside. My mother saw and thought I was picking my nose, so she slapped my hand away, tearing my nose ring out in the process. FML
Today, I got a new piercing because I was trying to be spontaneous. Now, I realize its placement is off and I hate it. FML
Today, while fighting with a girl I hate, my nose piercing got a little loose and I ended up snorting it in. That same girl had to take me to the hospital for surgery. She told everyone afterwards. FML
Today, marks the seventh day of having my nose pierced. I'd done everything I was supposed to do, even sleeping with a band-aid over it. This morning, I woke up to my piercing being ripped out by my pillow, and the band-aid nowhere in sight. FML
Today, I woke up to a weird feeling on my face. Thinking it was a bug, I slapped at it. It was my freshly-inserted nose ring. FML
Today, I posted a question on a forum asking if my week-old nipple piercing would get hooked on anything easily. People assured me that it would be fine. An hour later, I had to climb over a wall to get something and in lowering myself down I forgot about it and dragged my nipple along the wall. FML
Today, I got a nipple piercing. My girlfriend thought I was pranking her with a fake piercing, because I wouldn’t be "daft enough" to get a real one, and she yanked it off, or rather through, my nipple. Yes, it cut my poor nip in half, and I now have two nipples where once I had only one. FML
Today, I went to get my hair done. The hairdresser managed to catch my eyebrow piercing in his comb and almost rip it out. I now look like I have a gunshot wound on the upper right hand side of my face. I'm getting married in a matter of hours, and I still had to pay £100 for the hair cut. FML
Today, my 5 month old son decided that my lip ring was a toy. Thinking it would be ok, I let him touch it. He got his finger caught and pulled his hand back. The lip ring is still in, but now I have a huge gaping hole in my face. FML
Today, while at work, I managed to scrape open the inside of my nose with my fingernail, drawing blood in the process. I had to quickly up an explanation for my scream that didn't go: "Well, I was scouting for boogers..." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Surely it can't be that hard to not scratch your face, especially when your already stressing about it.

You should be able to get it back in, expect some pain though! I did the same thing when I had my nose pierced

If you were that stressed about it, you could have taped it?

Not a good enough reason to use the word "penetrate".

Don't worry, a lot of people do it. I half did, 2 of my friends did as did my younger cousin. Just a lapse in judgement but I will tell you know, it is a b---h to put back in. Like ripping your hymen all over again.

I wouldn't say that's the same thing.

Ouch but how did you not realise that the itchy feeling could be the piercing you got only that day

Why even get a stud? >.>

People with tiny noses look funny with rings sometimes, because the ring overwhelms the face. I have a big nose so the stud looks too small on me.

Most piercers recommend you start with a stud because sometimes rings make the piercing heal curved and its hard to put a stud in later.

There was an FML like this where her nose ring ripped out while she was asleep.. Stuff like this makes me never want to get my nose pierced. Ever.

They're really not that had. I've had mine for a few months and i've knocked it part out my nose maybe 3 times. Never yanked it out, have no idea how people manage that mine is pretty ******* secure.

Kind of your fault for getting a piercing... And being stupid

What's wrong with piercing your body? Just because you don't like it or find it attractive, doesn't mean everyone else shares your viewpoint.

Ok, here's a great idea, lets have a total stranger put a needle through my nose and then stab a 4 mm piece of metal through it. Then I can act surprised when I lose it or it gets ripped out when I scratch my nose.

I've had mine pierced 2 times. I've had it ripped out with my towel and during sex and once when hugging my aunt. Since it's a fresh piercing, make sure you clean it with with witch hazel but you can definitely force the piercing back in. It's gonna hurt.. Badly. But I loved my nose piercing so it was worth it. :)

I had mine pierced for over 4 years and eventually just took it out. When I first got it pierced I had the kind with a ball on the end, which is a bitch to get back in, ESPECIALLY if it's not healed. A few weeks after I got it, I took it out once to clean it and didn't get it back in in time. The inside started closing up and the ball wouldn't go through. I had a brand new pack of seeing needles so I stuck a new one through real quick (I know not the smartest move but I was panicking). It was thin enough to get through and as I pushed it down it opened up the hole more, so I could get the stud back in there. It was pretty much the same way the piercer did it except that I was just widening the whole back up, not making a new one. It worked, so if you get it redone maybe keep a new (but unlike mine, sterilized) needle laying around just in case! If you decide to get it redone OP, I recommend the L-shaped studs! Really easy to get in and out once you get the hang of it, but not so much at first. The screw ones might be good too but I could never get them in. I think the ball ones are great for at first, but after having it a year or so and swapping them out all the time, the ball didn't stop it from coming out anymore.

They actually don't use just sewing needles, or at least SHOULDNT. Piercing needles are hollow, so it makes a little hole instead of just pushing through the skin.
