Nose Rings, Studs, and Bones: Which One Is For You?

Nose piercings have become very popular among people who are in favor of superficial piercings; Nose rings, studs and balls are second in popularity to ear piercings. Although there are more women than men who have nose piercings, someone who wears a nose piercing is making a personal statement for themselves. A successful piercing means that someone followed the nose piercing aftercare instructions.

Nose piercings have a common place among the cultures of India, as well as in most of the Middle East. In fact, in India and some parts of the Middle East, a man gives a woman he is about to marry a nose ring that is the Western world’s equivalent of a wedding ring. These days, nose bones are quite popular. A woman would only need to turn her head so that other people and men in particular understand that she is already married.

If you decide you’d like to go and get your nostril pierced, there are actually a couple of nose rings, studs, and bones that you can choose from. There’s the screw that starts out as a straight bolt but has hooks and curves so you won’t be able to get it out easily no matter how hard you pull on it. This particular button is placed through the nostril by inserting it slowly and carefully removing it through the fleshy part of the nostril. A nose bone, on the other hand, is a kind of stud that has a large round part on one end that is pushed through the nostril so that the jewelry is held in place.

There are many people who advise against using a nose bone when you decide to go ahead and get your nose pierced for the first time. Due to the way a nose bone is designed, there is a distinct possibility that the shaft of the stud is too short to pass completely through a nostril that happens to be slightly thicker than the average person. Even if a piercing is achieved completely through the flesh, it doesn’t mean that the ensuing swelling won’t swallow the nose bone. If the inside of the piercing heals, the nose bone may need to be surgically removed.

When you wear nose bone jewelry, your nose wound would heal around the stud that is pierced through your nostril, with the egg shaped end being somewhat larger than the shaft, this makes it very hard to remove and can even slow down or worse – reverses the healing process because if you move it or try to remove it you will tear the healing tissue and cause another wound. Piercers often recommend that you opt for a nose screw at first. A nose screw that is made of surgical stainless steel or, if you can afford one, an eighteen karat gold nose screw.
