Default Nail in tire

So I am getting ready to to a small touch up on the paint beneath my rear fender and I notice a damn nail sticking out of my tire. It was bend at a 90 degree angle with half the nail sticking into the tire. The nail is about 3/4 of an inch long, but as I said only half was stuck in. How worried should I be? It is sitting in the garage right now as I write. I am going to go put soap on it and see if it bubbles, just wanted to post quick! If it is an issue can it be fixed or need I replace the tire?
