Nostril Piercing:Changing jewelry
Once your piercing has fully healed,with a little patience and practice,you may be able to change nostril jewelry yourself,though many piercees prefer to get assistance from their piercer.To remove a nostril screw,it must be twisted and pulled,following the curve of the corkscrew.Most nostrial screws are tiny and can be tricky to handle,especially at first.Inserting a nostril screw is a little like riding a bicycle:when you move too slowly,it doesn't go smoothy.Once the tail portion is through the nostril,a swift twisting motion to get the post through the tissue is often best.The hard part can be passing thetail all the way through the channel before it curves-and finding the inside surface,since you can't see it.If the screw is made with too short or tight a tail,it can be nearly impossible to insert,Even if the straight post is long enought.
Nostril Piercing:Retiring
Many piercees find a nostril piercing does not stay open long without jewelry in place.The hole can shrink in the time it takes you to remove,wash and dry your jewelry and try to put it back in place.If you like the piercing,leave jewelry in at all times.
If you abandon a nostril piercing,you will have minimal scarring if you wore the usual small gauge jewelry and your healing was uneventful.The residual mark ordinarily resembles and enlarged pore.Troubled healing could leave substantial scarring.

Excellent value for the money! I lose nose studs often and bought these as a back up. They are great quality and are easy and comfortable to wear. I actually haven't lost a single one yet. They come in a beautiful variety of colors. I'm very happy with my purchase and if I ever need more information would order these again.

They're tiny, and the L bar is really short, so not quite what I was expecting, but they are excellent quality and very pretty.

I don’t dislike how these look at all, but this particular brand seems to always fall out when i’m sleeping. I’ve always ordered/been told my nose piercing is an 18g -so that’s what I ordered, but they do routinely fall out. May just be a me issue though.

The gauge is absolutely too big for a normal nose piercing ! It’s Re-piercing your nose try to get it in. Was very upset soon as I seen them bc I knew they’d be too big and I got the smallest Gauge she had , there was 2 options at most. When in doubt always go smaller gauge for nose piercings if you don’t know what gauge size it is. But the product itself was gorgeous and would’ve been awesome to wear !
