Need help making a decision about getting my nose pierced!? Please help me out?

I'm seriously considering getting my nose pierced, but i'm reconsidering. My friends and mom are telling me not to ruin my pretty face but I just want a cute little stud on the side. Does it feel weird when you sneeze? What about your skin? Does having one give your more pimples with the oils and stuff? Compared to getting your ears pierced, how bad does it hurt?I really would appreciate some good answers involving what its like to have a nose piercing. Thanks!
