Nervous about a piercing! Help.

I'm getting my nose pierced on Friday along with my ear lobe for the 6th time, I always get nervous about piercings but I'm extra nervous about my nose, I'm worried that it will get an infection (I'm currently on antibiotics for another infection which I know will help fight off any infection that may arise) and I know how to clean it properly, I have other piercings and only one has ever gotten infected due to a problem with my cartilage (not that I never ceaned it properly). I'm also worried about getting a Keloid I have a small one on my ear (my current only cartilage) piercing which is my second cartilage but due to infection I had to let the first cartilage piercing close up. I'm worried about the pain, I know I can take it but everytime I think about it I get "evil" butterflies, it makes me feel sick thinking about how much it will hurt (I know it isn't much but I'm a worrier) and finally I'm worried about the scarring when I decide/if I decide to take it out. I know it heals from the inside out but I was wondering would bio oil work on any outside scarring? It is also true you can get a brain infection from getting a nose peircing. Please help!

When I'm nervous or apprehensive about doing something, I wait until I feel comfortable doing it. It isn't like this is something you have to do.

I have had my nose pierced for about 6 years---the pain was memorable, but I am tremendously glad I did it. I love it. My daughter has had hers even longer, and experienced very little pain. People are all different, but it doesn't take that long, you can get through it. Don't anticipate a problem, like infection. Be attentive to it. Most of all, be sure this is really what you want.
