I don't like pain either way but with getting something peirced you can at least take it out and let it heal over if you don't like it. I have my ears peirced. I had my left ear double peierced when I was like 16. I've been thinking of getting my nose pierced. I think if you get the right jewelery for your nose that it can look real elegant.

Definitely piercing. If you don't like it, you can just remove your earrings and the piercing will close up on its own. but for tattos, it's another thing. Sure you can et it removed, but the agony and pain is just too painful to endure. I have three piercings on my left ear lobe and one piercing on my right ear lobe. The only time I ever removed the earrings was when it got infected with all the pus and blood until a colleague pointed out to me that I should left it alone and the blood and pus will clear up.. As for nose piercings... hmm.. too much blackheads for me to clear away for a piercing..

I have six piercings now (had to let one close up) and five tattoos so far. I think I'm done with piercings, but I want a lot more tattoos. I don't mind the pain so much with tattoos, because the pain is fairly temporary. With my piercings, I still have days when they are painful, especially if they get bumped.

I prefer both, I have both and I plan on getting more of both.
