D: i would never find the courage to pierce myself. id probably pierce it at an angle or my hand would shake and id pierce the wrong spot.
i think you should just ask her. let her know that youre deadset on getting your nose pierced, and if she doesnt give you permit to get it done properly, youll do it yourself. if she says no, run off to your sister maybe? she'd be old enough to give you permission. if she's no help either, you could do it yourself, but make sure to read this first.
