NOSE PIERCING【+100 Best Ideas】

There is a beautiful and delicate detail that every woman has done or wanted to do, because these jewels are really precious. A nose piercing.

1. Types of nose piercings

Depending on the location of the puncture, the nose piercing can have different names: septum, nostril, bridge, etc.

► nostril

The nostril is a single puncture of the wing of the nose, it is considered the most common and simple to perform. Direct wrap jewelry is used to decorate the nose wing piercing, which can be replaced by a ring after at least three months.

► Partition

A septum is a puncture in the central septum of the nose. Contrary to popular belief, this is one of the least painful punctures, because when done correctly, it is not cartilage that is pierced, but rather a thin area of skin between the junction of two cartilages. For better healing, it is better to put a straight bar, or a regular or circular ring.

► Bridge

This piercing consists of piercing the bridge of the nose at the level of the eyes. It can be both horizontal and vertical. Due to the proximity of the bone, it is better to place PTFE material, it will reduce the pressure, which contributes to better healing.

► September

The decoration is located at the tip of the nose, vertically along the location of the nasal septum. It is quite difficult to make such a piercing, it heals for a long time and is problematic.

► austin bar

Horizontal puncture of the tip of the nose. The central septum is not affected by the puncture. Complete healing takes about a year.

2. Nose Piercing Jewelry

For all types of nose piercings, jewelry of various shapes is used, depending on the specific type of piercing. For the wing of the nose, straight rods and labrets, rings and nostrils are used. The nostril is a fairly old piece of jewelry that does not have a strong fixation, so it often flies off and gets lost, which is why it is not used by professionals. For primary healing, only direct jewelry with wrap is installed, the ring can be worn at least 3 months after puncture.

For the septum, straight rods are used (for better healing), or circular or ordinary rings without stones.

Bridge, Austin bar and septril nose piercings only require straight bar jewelry.

The jewerly pierced they also differ in material. Titanium is considered the best, it is one of the most hypoallergenic metals at the moment. Nose piercings made of gold, silver or surgical steel jewelry are categorically not suitable. Such alloys contain nickel, which oxidizes when in the human body.

3. Does it hurt to make a puncture?

There is no single answer to this question, because the pain during the procedure depends on several factors: your pain threshold, the type of puncture and the state of the body. To reduce pain, you should sleep well and eat well before the procedure.

The puncture of the septum is considered the most painful, but this is a small myth. If the correct puncture technique is followed, the cartilage is not affected, the puncture passes through a thin fold of skin between two cartilages.

No anesthesia is used during a nose piercing.

4. Care and healing

After the piercing procedure, the most crucial moment begins - caring for a new puncture. So how do you take care of a nose piercing? Immediately after the puncture, it is necessary to purchase treatment products - antiseptics in the form of a spray Octenisept or Miramistin. Treat 2 times a day, do not use cotton swabs or cotton pads. In the first days after the puncture, the formation of blood clots is possible, in no case should it be torn off or collected (the blood will be gradually washed off with an antiseptic).

If the puncture is traumatized (hooked, pulled jewelry), smear with baneocin ointment, 2 times a day, but use the ointment for no more than 5 days. Perforation of the nasal septum after trauma cannot be smeared with baneocin, it is treated only with Octenisept / Miramistin.

2-4 weeks to avoid vaporizing the puncture (bathrooms, saunas, hot tubs and open tanks are prohibited). After you shower, be sure to treat the puncture.

Do not touch or twist the decoration.

Downsizing (replacement of primary jewelry) is done at least 2-3 weeks later. Nose piercing does not require a mandatory replacement of the jewelry base, if it does not interfere.
