Nose Piercing
Nostrils are fairly simple to pierce, without much pain. But piercing aftercare is essential with nose piercings because of all the germs and bacteria that accumulate in and around the nose. Sweat naturally gathers on your nose on hot days and during physical fitness, and allergies and colds can aggravate infection, especially if you're constantly blowing your nose.
To avoid infection follow these tips:
Be very careful to keep your nose piercing extra clean to avoid infection, especially if you have a cold or have just worked out.
If you wear makeup, make sure to keep it away from your new piercing.
Never wear a conventional post earring in your nostril - you could inhale the backing and choke.
Be conscious of losing backless studs when you sneeze or bend over.
A bone stud, nose screw or nose ring is the best jewelry for your nose piercing, depending on your preference.
Nose piercings include:
Nostrils - pierced through the soft skin covering the left or right nasal passage. Bridge - sometimes called an Earl, is pierced horizontally across the upper bridge of the nose, in the fleshy area between the eyes. Septum - pierced through the septum or the cartilage separating the nostrils. A septum piercing resembles a ring through a bull's snout. Jungle - pierces through the septum and out through the underside center of the nose. You must already have a pierced and stretched septum in order to get a jungle piercing.
