Tell all your friends not to go to him. You should always get good aftercare advice. Personally I always go for a female piercer. Pure prejudice on my part but I think women tend to take safety and aftercare more seriously than men! lol. Main thing is NOT to twiddle or touch the piercing. You could bathe in saline or cool, boiled water, but this is not essential in my view. Most piercing infections, sores and keloids arise out of twiddling and messing around with the piercing just after its been done.
Did your piercing healed well? What kind of piece they used (l shaped, labret...etc) and how was your experience with it? I'm getting mine next week, but I'm still not sure of what piece to use
@@Stephaniekcelis Healed really quickly. I would say it was almost healed in two weeks: much quicker than my cartilage piercings in my ears. Sarah used a labret - or really a flat back titanium stud - like a labret but with a flat end inside the nose. I asked her beforehand what gauge she would use and made sure I had a gold plated ball of the same gauge. Then I changed the titanium ball for a gold-plated one the next day being careful not to disrupt the titanium stem. This is not recommended but I was very careful and I don't like the look of titanium against the skin though I totally believe in titanium for the piercing itself. After 2 weeks Sarah took out the flat back for me and put in my own gold spiral back stud. That was about maybe 6 months ago and I've changed it myself a few times since then. I've experimented with andralok, 'L' shape and spiral and the spiral works best for me - but for other folk I know they get on better with 'L' shapes. I'm now wearing a hoop and as soon as the Covid rules allow here I'm going to have a second piercing above this one to take a stud. Sorry for the long reply: hope it helps x
I feel like the person who pierced my nose didn't tell me anything I've really just been relying on the things people tell me or what I have seen online

My nostril has been pierced for 8 weeks. I’m hoping to change it out for a really pretty diamond corkscrew stud from Alluring Body. So pretty and can’t wait! ( And I’m 59!)
***PLEASE READ** For anyone watching, nose bones are effective but the ball on the end essentially rips your piercing every time you take out or put in the jewelry which can cause bad scarring over time. try to avoid nose bones if you will be changing your jewelry frequently. If you are one and done with jewelry then nose bones are great!
@@allisons9455 i got my ears pierced when i was seven so i dont remember but it didnt hurt that much really, just be careful not to touch it too much for a while. always be safe when piercing. hope this helped
@@allisons9455 I pierced my own nose I know bad idea but it actually didn't hurt well for me. Irdk all our bodys are different and may react differently.
@@allisons9455 i pierced my own with an earring stud (not the best idea at all) but it didn’t hurt for me, it just felt like a short sharp pain and some pressure!
I just got my nose pierced 2 days ago and I love it. Learning new things- like how to blow my nose, wash my face, not rub my face in the towel... 😅 Thank you for explaining the different styles!
This was a helpful video. I’ve had my nose pierced for about 20 years and even I didn’t know about all the different options until recently. I prefer the bone after trying the corkscrew and hoops for years. For me the bone is the most comfortable and easiest to clean. I’ve lost a couple over the years from blowing my nose and not being careful with the jewelry. Thanks for making the video. I wish I could have seen it years ago.
I’ve had my nose pierced for almost 4 years now and I’ve tried just about all types. I was pulling corkscrew, l-bar, and bone out in my sleep. Finally caved and got a hoop and I couldn’t be happier! I love it so much!
Pro tip, bend up (towards the jewel) the swirly part of your corkscrew nose rings. They'll still go in fine, and you can avoid that "booger" look. Don't go super ham on it, just a tid bit will do most of the time. I've had my nose pierced for 15 years. I wear a 16g black hinged hoop 6mm diameter.
I have my nose pierced for like two years now and I really enjoy wearing dainty gold hoop, it just goes well with my persona and I really like minimal, dainty looking nose rings/earrings (only in gold)
I had my left nostril pierced for 6 years (pierced with a corkscrew 18g) and my right nostril for 4 month (pierced with custom Lshape) my favorite jewelry Is probably corkscrew and nose bone, but Lshape are not bad :)
Hi Brenna, I’ve only had mine done for about 6 months now and I love the bone, my second favorite is a small hoop that latches back into itself so it can just spin circles and I don’t have to worry about it opening. HATE the screw one with everything I have because it caused me a lot of pain, I guess my nose was to small for it and it was poking everywhere inside my nose and tearing it up! NEVER again 😔. I almost gave up and let me piercing close but instead I got a hoop and painfully nursed my infected noise into happiness with no regrets.
Even after being pierced for 20 years, I'm here watching! So new or not... great information. I've use a bone for most of the years, have a labret in now and am looking to make my own hoop or other decorative wire nose ring now. Thanks so much! I'll try that hoop and give it some time. You're so right about getting used to that!
I’ve had my piercing for over 20 years and I’ve tried them all. I’m wearing the labret right now and its my favorite by far, but not as easy to change out.
I’ve had mine pierced 8 times over last 5 years, I’m black so my cartilage is thick so the bone is my least favorite because it doesn’t pierce all the way through. Long and short L shape are my favorite along with corkscrew, I prefer corkscrew during initial piercing because it doesn’t fall out, you’d have to be really rough for it to happen.
I've had my nose pierced since 16 and I have 3 kids, the youngest being 2 and curious. He has kicked and snatched out my studs so many times. I'm using a 6mm labret stud lbs.
I tried many types of nostril jewelry, having my left one pierced for more than a year, but I always end up sticking to using a regular labret piercing. It really never fall off and you never lose it, also it is really easy to customize since you can change the top part and it is really smooth. I love it also because you can buy it online and it is really cheap and you can pick the perfect fit in terms of thickness, diameter of the ball, material and lenght of the bar, and I've never had problems finding a small gauge searching online. The only cons I found in using it is that if you are not careful while washing your face you could unscrew the ball and lose it, expecially in the sink, that's why I suggest buying multiple ones. But yeah it definetely remains my favourite, and even if stucking it in your nose from the inside could be a little difficult at first, I got used to it pretty fast and I find it the easiest to wear.
Also if you are searching for a ring ring type pf jewelry, my suggestion is to use a segmented clicker ring, since the continuous one tends to lose its shape and deform and all the other ones are really difficult to put in your nose and/or easy to lose. It's a bit trickier to find, but you can buy it online. My favourite eshop is crazyfactory
I got my nose pierced for the first time on August 17, 2021……….. I have NEVER not ones change it out yet. I told myself that I will wait on the 1 year anniversary to get myself an entire brand new set of nose rings. I decided to be patient with the healing process. I didn’t want to rush into switching rings out knowing well that it’s still fresh and still healing. Also because my nose is the size of Russia, “time” and “leaving it alone” is what I needed. Now that August 2022 is almost here, I have been on the hunt slowly doing my research on what I am going to get myself. Your video was helpful………I just found out that the nose ring I have on is a Labret 😭
I just got mine done over the weekend, and one of the reasons I waited SO long to do it was because I had only ever seen the L and corkscrew types (for anything other than a hoop). I knew I didn't want a hoop (yet, anyway, maybe I'll change my mind in the future, or if I find the exact right hoop?), and I also knew that having the L or corkscrew wiggling around inside my nose (or worse, poking out the bottom) would drive me absolutely NUTS. When I finally found out that the labret style was actually an option for noses, it was the best thing I'd ever heard of! My piercer had both push-in/pin options and internally threaded options; I opted for a push-in, as all of the threaded tops they had in the case were a little larger (more bold? less dainty?) than I wanted. It's perfect, and I love nearly everything about it! The only reason I'll be going back in to take advantage of their free follow-up appointment to assist with my first jewelry change is because I was really hoping to get something in rose gold (they only had black/silver/gold options on hand for that style), and so I can watch how/where they put the little bend on the pin of the new jewelry that I've found (because it sounds like we won't even have to change out my main post, as long as the new top piece is the same gauge and length, so that's pretty neat, too)!
i’ve had my nose pierced currently for about a week and a half and i was pierced with a nose bone! it’s been pretty good and today actually i accidentally popped it off while taking off a pair of goggles, lol, and the. i personally took it out to get rid of bacteria, and then stuck it back in, hopefully tomorrow all is well. loved the video
The corkscrew got yanked out after my last week of healing when I was sleeping . When I tried putting it back in, it closed up. So I got it re pierced and I went with the labret. Ten times better.
I pierced my nose today all by myself.. although i don't recommend others to pierce their ears, or nose by themselves especially at my age which is 14 going on 15 soon but later i have to find the nose ring i like.
Labrets are my favorite kind of nose rings because it’s impossible for it to fall out I tried nose bones but they fell out I tried quotes through but it made it look like a booger was in my nose and I had to keep on pushing it in which isn’t good for the healing process My first labret was on internally threaded labret and I do not recommend those because they take forever to put in get a threadless labret which are so much easier and they’re getting so popular because they are easy to use If you want to buy one to get pierced I recommend a 3/8 but when it’s fully healed or after six months I recommend for me at least a 5/16
I got my right nostril pierced about a month ago and got the left side done about 2 weeks ago. They were both pierced with an L shape which hasn't fallen out for me, but it can be super irritating because it will poke the inside of my nose sometimes 😂
Tip for people with big noses like me: I like to get a corkscrew type and use plyers to bend it into an L shape and it fits snug in my nose & is easy to remove & put in! I find that the regular L shapes I buy are too small for my nose & I sometimes find it hard to also find the bend to fit ones that are long enough to fit comfy!
Great video!! Got my nose pierced two weeks ago. Was advised that backings are no longer used, so mine stud is just straight in. I purchased an extra one in case it fell out. Well, it fell in the sink and down the drain last week. My son was able to put the replacement back in for me. I was also told that it takes 12 weeks to heal. It's not sore at all. I put a bandaid on my nose at night so the stud doesn't fall out. I did some research and found out surgical steel will help with the healing. I'm on the hunt for a surgical steel stud that has the twirl. That way, it will stay more secure.
I've had mine done for 5 months now. My piercer used a bend to fit, that was all the shop had at the time, and made it into an L shape. I waited for 3 months then changed to a hoop. I have a couple bones that I'm going to try next. I'd like to try the corkscrews too.
I had my piercing on 8th of this month, so my piercing is 24 days old XD, pretty new and I used a gold jewellery of LABRET kind to prevent the infection, mostly keloids. This video is of immense help. Thank ya. 💫
I got mine pierced yesterday with a labret and thanks to your very informative video I have decided that a labret is the best for me (the shortest length is 6mm) 😊 it's the most secure and you can get bioflex which I will wear for training when it's fully healed
Yes they did a labret with mine too! Its so comfy and its healing so well on day 4. No pain and no discomfort. Only complaint is that (mine is a little long) its in the way a bit when trying to clean
I've had my nose pierced for 12 years and have worn most jewellery in it. Cheap L tailed studs that I wore when it first healed kept falling out so I switched to corkscrew ones and they were way better. I've had a hoop in it for the last 4 years and it is the best. More comfortable than a stud and looks better imo. Only downside is that it's not a subtle. Wondered if a hoop would look too much after I got my septum done but I have delicate jewellery in both and I like how they look.
The guy that did mine, told me that the labret twisted 🤦🏽♀️ it didn't, I couldn't get it out because it was bent! Had to go have someone take it out for me. I got the L shape after that. Noticed that the hole got smaller, so I did have to downsize to a 20g. But I like the L shape because I like to take it out to clean my nose. For some reason Blowing my nose with my nose ring in is just not enough. 🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
I've had my right nostril pieced for almost 3 years now. I use a 22gauge bone stud and a clear retainer. I have issues with inserting the retainer for work, but getting more use to it.
I have had my nose pierced on 3 different occasions. But my Las test one has been almost a year in March. I started with a thread-less nose ring changed to an L shape. I love both. They both have different benefits.
I got mine at 18! My first ring had a flat back and I did not like it since it was hard for me to switch out, got a hoop shortly after and my piercing ended up partially closing because the ball fell out. (I was on vacation and didn’t bring any extra rings ) so I got it re pierced and ended going with a corkscrew and kept that style for 4 years!
I have a rounder version of the corkscrew you showed and it hasn’t fallen it. It’s definitely difficult to put it in. I can’t take it out since my piercing is still healing. Thanks for the video. It was helpful!
@@kayleighdewey9320 mine is a slide so i just slid my thumbnail under the flared part of the base and pulled the top part off gently but idk what to do if its a screw
@@laurynblankenship9444 Very rarely. I don’t think I’ve ever lost an L-bend unless I wasn’t careful enough with a towel around my nose. (Sometimes towels can pull them out.) but mine usually stays put!
I’m going to go back to my piercer to find out the size/Gauge needle she used so I can get other studs! She told me 2 months ago when I got my nose pierced “to come back in two months and to get it changed” cause I’m kinda nervous to do it myself and I have long nails. I tried taking it out my self but it’s the type that’s flat back-and I can’t get a good grip. The lady that pierced mine was very nice and fast but she didn’t tell me much, I could tell she was in a rush also. Luckily I did a lot of research before getting the piercing- I just thought they may pierced it with a stud besides a flat back kind... but I’m glad it stayed in the whole healing process! Thanks for the video it gave me more info about the kind of nose pricing I have.
I got my nose pierced three hours ago, Didn’t hurt that bad. I really like it I think it suits me, I haven’t tried any other studs yet because I just got it done, but I already have to bones.
I had mine pierced just over a month ago with an L shape. It's come out so many times. (4 times in the first week) I've currently got an annoying scab which I'm cleaning regularly as per my piercers instructions. Can't wait till that goes and I can change it
I've had my piercing for 8yrs. My favorite is the Screw. (The hoop is a close second.) I don't like the L shape bc it kept coming out. Those are the only three I've tried. 😅 I'm finally going to try the Bone soon.
i’ve had mine pierced for about 5 days and on the second day my corkscrew came out. i was pierced with an 18g and the actual stud on the end of the nose ring was only a tiny bit bigger than the actual gauge so it just fell straight through afterwards. i tried to put the corkscrew back in and they are so damn hard to put in especially when the piercing is 2 days fresh. i immediately had to order new rings and the L shaped one has been my favorite. it hasn’t fallen out since and it’s the most comfortable for me.
I've had my nostril pierced for a little more than 2 years and i tend to prefer L-shaped studs. I don't really have issues with L-shaped studs falling out, every once in a while while i'm sleeping or if i tug while blowing my nose, but other than that they're great cos they are very easy to switch out. I also look for shorter L-shaped studs so they're less likely to protrude a lot. i like smaller diameter hoops and will wear those on occasion, but i have trouble finding hoops that fit comfortably and don't make my piercing sore, and i also find hoops more challenging to insert, even with an old piercing.
I recently got my nose pierced last month. I got the L shaped nose piercing but then the next day when I woke up from my nap it fell out. I was sooo sad. So I went to get a new one and now I have the bone piercing. I wanted to find a video to help me know if I can ever take the my particular piercing out because I want my jewelry bigger. I was told that it was semi-permanent. Thank you for helping❤️
Love the corkscrew. Personally, if you don’t plan on changing your jewelry frequently, I’d say go for this. Jewelry sits secure and has a good balance/snug to the nose. If you need to have it changed though, it’s preferable you let your piercer do it. It’s also very important to know the rise of your nose stud. 5mm, 6mm or 7mm? Using the right rise will make sure your jewelry sits firm and looks dashing
my nostril's been pierced for almost 4 months now and its completely healed i love the cockscrew studs better...i'm about to change it out to a hoop cause thats the whole reason of me piercing my nose lol
The nose bone makes sense to me. Glad to hear some positive feedback about it. All the pro piercers that I've watched recommend against the nose bone. They say that it's too damaging to your piercing to pull the ball through. But it seems the most simple and reliable to me. I'm doing research pre-nose piercing. It seems like it would be better than the other options but the piercers of course want to sell you the labrets and if you use the L-shaped or the corkscrew and it comes out then they get to re-pierce you and sell you more jewelry. I'd rather have a nice piece made of 14 karat gold that I leave in and live in. Thanks for your video.
I got my nose pierced around Valentine's day. This is the 3rd time I've had it pierced and it seems to be sinking in my nose atleast 3 times a day I'm pushing it out. Idk what going to choose but i did order some L shaped ones. I have a cork skrew one in now and I'm so ready to change it. Only because of the sinking problem.
I haven't changed it yet. I did get the L shaped ones I ordered but I got nervous to change it out because I dont want it to close up on me. The jewelry I got it pierced with is so cheap the diamond turning black. It still sinks into my nose but its mostly healed so it doesnt get covered like it use to. I clean it with contact solution every morning. I was doing it 3 times a day and then to 2 now 1. With the corona virus no piercing shops in my area are open so I havent been able to change it out. So its doing find but about once ever 2 weeks I'll have to push it out again and just make sure I clean it. Its not o.o bad tho I just had to stop messing with it with my fingers so much
I just pierced my nose in may. I was so excited to switch to a hoop but it kept sliding around and my nose got sore so I went back to my stud that’s L shape. My piercer bent the hoop to fit my nose but it still moved a lot and I constantly had to readjust it. I think a continuous hoop would be better that way the moving around probably wouldn’t be as annoying.
I had the exact same issue. The best ones are those that have the ball at the end and you insert them from they inside out. The look exactly like endless hoops but they stay in place. I got one of those but it is too thin. The shop didn't write their thickness so I just found out when I compared it to other nose jewelry.
I got my nose pierced in October. End of November I decided to put in a bone nose ring. I then decided to take out the nose bone in mid December, and OMG it was so painful. The ball on my ring is on the larger side so I had such a hard time getting it out. When I did get it out it disrupted the healing process and my nose started to bleed and became really swollen. I love the nose bone bc you barely feel it, but hate the pain that comes with removing it. Im still trying to nurse the piercing back to health after the removal.
I've had my left nostril pierced for 6 months now with an 18g L shaped stud. I'm wanting to wait a little longer to change to a hoop ring because I recently went to the dentist and my hygienist accidentally almost pulled the stud out and as a result I had a little trauma to the hole. No worries, these things happen. The L shape is ok except the stud will rotate down and want to hang out of my nose or get stuck at the top of my nose( if that makes sense 🤦♀️).
I had my nose pierced about 3 weeks ago. It was done with a labret, which was the only option at the place I went to get it done. So far I find it very comfortable and happy to not have to worry about it falling out. Downside, it seems really difficult to find new labret nose rings. I would probably want to stick with the labret but I can’t find many options online. I probably won’t change this one for at least 6 weeks, but, I eventually want to
I was pierced about a week ago with the L shaped ring. So far it hasn't been moving around on me and I haven't had it turn where the metal bar is sticking out my nostril. I'm probably gonna end up sticking with this style because I'm someone who always likes to change up the jewelry I'm wearing. Can't wait for it to be healed and build up my nose ring collection.
Had my nose pierced for about 6 months and it's still quite tender and still has trauma bump, not sure if this is due to changing it 3 times so far. Started with the corkscrew, then went to a ring, then to a clear corkscrew for work and now back to my ring. Love the look of the ring though!
I've had my nose pierced since 2017, at first I wore a corked one but as time passed by it started to come out and bother me because it was too big on the inside. I've been wearing a hoop for more than a year, for me is the most comfortable to wear. Doesn't hurt, doesn't fall. The only thing is, it's more challenging to take it off and put it back in.
I just came across this video. I had my nose pierced 8/14/23, so about 4 1/2 months ago. I have changed my piercing; it was pierced with a flat-back, with push pin top. I changed it to an L shape, a couple of times now, but I struggle to get it out. Getting it in is much easier. I'm not sure why I struggle so much 😢
I feel like when I got a corkscrew the first time it would not heal. Took it out for a few years and pierced it again with a labret and so far it's been good.
