We hope you enjoy browsing our online shop!Choosing the right piercing studio
As with any piercing, a nose piercing should only be done by a professional piercer with the appropriate experience and the right medical equipment. A reputable piercer will take enough time before piercing to answer your questions and explain the piercing process to you in detail. A good piercing studio should also look clean and tidy.Different types of nose piercings
• Septum piercing: With a septum, the connective tissue under the nasal septum is pierced. In recent years, septum piercings have become increasingly popular, as many stars such as Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Madonna and many more wear the nose ring. If you want to try out the look before getting a real piercing, you can easily do so with a fake septum that you can clamp on.
• Nostril piercing: The most common nose piercing is the so-called nostril piercing. In this case, either the right or left nostril is pierced and then a ring is usually inserted as piercing jewelry. However, the use of a nose stud is also possible.
• Bridge piercing: This piercing is usually located just below the eyes on the bridge of the nose. When getting a piercing like this, great care must be taken as there are numerous nerve pathways in this area.
• Austin Bar: With this nose piercing variant, the tip of the nose is pierced and then a so-called barbell piercing is usually inserted horizontally. Sometimes, however, the piercing hole is also pierced horizontally; this variant is called rhino piercing.
Does getting a nose piercing hurt?
Since there are many different nose piercing variants, it is not possible to make a general statement about the pain. Depending on the position on the nose and how the individual perceives pain, the pain during piercing can be felt to be strong to moderate. With a conventional nostril piercing, fine nerves run through the cartilage tissue, which is why piercing the skin at this point is perceived by many as particularly unpleasant. However, the pain usually disappears after just a few seconds. For this reason, local anesthesia is not worthwhile in most cases, because the prick of a syringe causes about the same amount of pain as the nose piercing itself.
Actively support the healing process after piercing
To ensure that the piercing site does not become infected after piercing and heals quickly, it should be disinfected and cleaned regularly. There are special care products such as creams that can be used to treat the piercing hole. Light crusts can be carefully removed with saline solution.
The healing time of the piercing site depends largely on the location where the piercing is done. It usually takes around six months for the nasal septum to heal completely after a septum piercing, while a piercing of the nostril is often completely healed after just eight weeks. The exact duration depends on the care of the piercing site and the individual wound healing.
Tips for a quick healing of the nose piercing:
➔ Make sure that the injection site does not come into contact with make-up, powder or similar.
➔ Daily, careful, cleaning and disinfection.
➔ Avoid touching. Disinfect your hands before caring for the injection site.
➔ No saunas, solariums or visits to the swimming pool.
➔ Avoid excessive exposure to sunlight.
nose piercing risks
Complications when getting a nose piercing are very rare. However, they can occur in rare cases, especially if the piercing is done incorrectly. This can happen, for example, if the piercing is placed too high up. Piercing jewelry should also not be worn in temperatures below zero because the material transfers the cold to the surrounding skin and, in the worst case, this can lead to local frostbite. However, if the piercing is done by a professional piercer, the piercing site is cared for and the piercing is not worn in extreme temperatures, the health risks of a nose piercing are considered to be low.
