Nose Piercing Information & Aftercare | UrbanBodyJewelry.com 

I got mine done today and I can’t stop looking for videos cause I’m so scared of it getting infected or getting a bump 😭🤣🥺

i remember the worst part for me was not being able to yawn lol

To everyone stressing about infections: it’s ok it’s just like a normal cut. Just don’t move it around and wash ur hands if you really need to touch it. Wash it with saline couple times a day, and you’ll be fine believe me

Got mine today with a needle hurt like hell but about 2 mins later no pain at all I kept forgetting I had it 🤣🤣 thought it was a buger

Just got mine done today, can't wait to switch to a hoop

Just got my nosed pierced two days ago, and have been looking at youtube video's for how to care for a piercing. This is the best video I've come across and this is the one I'll be using. Thanks for the video.

I got my piercing almost a month ago. The first two weeks were easy peasy. I lacked two days of cleaning and I got two bumps. On the inside and a keloid looking one on the outside. It was hideous. Started the FULL 7-8 minutes sea salty soaks with no breaks in between AM/PM (usually time myself with bohemian rhapsody playing so I don’t get impatient). I do one nose dip with regular warm water to rinse the salt water. I let it air dry. I used a qtip to apply tea tree oil (am/pm) on the tip of both bumps VERY CAREFUL NOT TO GET THE PIERCING HOLE ITSELF. The bump on the inside completely disappeared within 3-4 days. The top bump is almost completely gone! 😊 All my aftercare routines are from him!

my dad: “if you wanna get your nose pierced, do some research” ... i’ve been watching these videos for 3 hours😭

I'm only scared about blowing my nose

The only problem I have is remembering my piercing is there until I rub my nose😂

I was so used to healing my piercings the common way, antibacterial soap, bactine, and twisting the piercing and always got keloids, slow healing, and excessive bleeding but I watched your video three months ago before I got double nose piercings and its been 3 months now and I have been using this method and haven't had keloids, excessive bleeding, or barely any pain besides me ripping one out and putting it back in😭 I will be doing it this way from now on!!

You covered everything. Answered all of my questions. Thank you for taking the time to make this video. 🤙

I just got my piercing 30 min ago lol

Just got both my nostrils pierced for my birthday. My piercer told me what to do, but this video was waaaay more informative. Thank you.❤️

I had my nose pierced yesterday and I was pretty close to go back and have it take it out,because the care itself was confusing and overwhelming but once I saw I saw your video about how to simply use distilled water and natural salt I pretty much changed my mind and decided to keep my nose ring. Thanks

Just got my piercing like two hours ago. This was definitely very helpful! Thanks for the advice ☺️💕

This is by far the best information i've come across. I got my nose pierced last month and I followed these instructions for cleaning and stuff and I have had no problems or any signs on infections. Super happy with it :)

I had my nose pierced with screws several times and my piercing always got caught on something and pulled out and tore the tissue. When neometal came out with their threadLess nose rings - I jumped on the opportunity to try again after my nose had properly healed. It’s been 15 months and I have had no problems whatsoever. Now that I am healed, I will wear hoops and screws with no issues. I totally recommend those for an initial piercing.

I found this video after getting my left nostril done today and googling some quick aftercare tips only to realize the guy in the video, Matt, is the guy who does most of my piercings! What a coincidence ! Honestly though, I can definitely recommend the advice he gives because I use it on all the piercings he does for me, and I've never had any issues with his work. (I honestly can't say the same about other places I've gone 🙄) I see other ppl in the comments saying theyve gotten conflicting advice when it comes to aftercare..... If you're not sure who to listen to, Matt is a safe bet. Like I said, never had any issues and everything heals fast and nicely, makes getting piercings stress free

thankyou so much for making these video fr!! you’ve helped me thru my septum and nostril piercing!

thank you for the advice! my piercing is healing amazingly! the salt soaks are dope

I'm so grateful for the information you provided. I had previously been so impatient about getting my nose pierced that I ordered what was advertised as a nose gun to pierce it myself, I ended up just pushing the earing part into my nose. (Obviously not the smartest/correct way). Once it was done I found this for after care; it convinced me to take it out, let it heal, and order the CORRECT nose piercing set. Once again thanks! (Also it took a little over a week before I re pierced it)

Thank you so much for making this video. I had a good piercer but the instructions seemed a little off. I’m going with yours. They make way more sense. I have been doing just about everything you said not to!

Thankyou, you are the only video that has mentioned there is always a little swelling in the first couple weeks. Its really put my mind to rest. Thankyou. ❤

i got my nose pierced today and it was so easy! painless!

Got mine today and I was expecting a huge pain to hit me but it felt like someone was pinching my nose a little hard Felt painless after the jewelry was in just a little soreness later cause it was pricked obviously . So excited!!!!🧘‍♀️

Got mine done a it was painless. BUT. I had a seizure when I left. Never had one in my life nor a family history. Good information on cleaning and maintenance. Thanks!

No q tips and Anti bacterial soap? I've been using these and so far haven't had a problem. My piercer even recommended these

I got my nose done years ago but had to remove it because it was infected and just getting worse and worse, I've been thinking about getting it done again which led me to this video. I thought it was solely crap in the air from my factory job, now I think if my piercer had given me the correct information I would not have had the problem. So thank you for doing these videos. You rock!

Just got it and wow, my mom did it at home and it was painful asffff but we got it done and I’m definitely grateful for vids like this bc I have no idea what to do after.

Piercer Here, I do pierce with rings but make sure they are the hinged rings ie; sleepers and not the continuous rings that have little gaps in them. I always warn my clients about the size of ring that I do have to go slighter bigger for swelling etc and use a 20g ring. So it can be done but if done properly. Hope this helps. Everything in video is spot on though and very educational 👍👍👍Have a great day 🥰

The person who pierced my nose told me to clean it with the after care product with a q tip...I am confuzzled🤦🏾

Getting my nose pierced today! this was by far the most helpful video. Although i can't wait i'm a little uneasy, but this video was very informative. thank you. Now let's hope school doesn't expel me for breaking the uniform code for six weeks in a row LoL

Thank you man your advice is by far the best so far

My piercer told me none of this, I’m sooo happy I came across this thank you!

mine didn’t hurt, and i have a really low pain tolerance lmao. i almost got it done with a year ago, and i’m so glad i didn’t.

I got my nose pierced 3 months ago, i consistently picked at it, used q-tips, went swimming, and forgot to wash it, i got a really big bump next to it to the point my mom thought it was a keloid. I took it out about two weeks ago and the bump has gone down so rapidly. I am getting the other side pierced and am gonna take way better care of it cause I obviously didn’t know how to when I first got it.

I got mine done today, great informative video thank you 🥰

I literally watched this video 6 times for all my piercings over the years. Thank you so much😂

Thank you so much!!! I seriously was having problems like my nose piercing was GETTING worse n worse! Until I did exactly what u just told me to do with the Salt n water!! Oh n I used to clean it with Q-tips n Alcohol wipes cause that's what I was told to do at the shop after getting pierced but it just got swollen n bump got bigger n infected until I watched this video!!!🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽SO THANK YOU SO MUCH ❣️❣️❣️

i’m so glad i saw this! i got mine done a day ago and i’d been using alcohol to clean it AND i’d been messing with it a lot😬 i’ll be starting saltwater soaks and no touching from now on lol

By far the best info I’ve found on this subject to date. Love your vids and keep it up. Thanks for the knowledge

BEST Nose Ring Video that I have seen thus far❤THANK YOU!

Mine got infected and I reached out to my piercer. He originally said antibacterial soap with a qtip. I asked about a sea salt soak and he said NO. After it got infected he still said no to the sea salt soak and suggested trying a different soap such as dove or Cetaphil. I ended up buying a sea salt soak that was meant for piercings and it relieves any discomfort. It was oozing pus and bleeding. I will now stick with your sea salt trick! I'll go to the store and get the supplies needed!

consensus seems to be (a) everyone will tell you something different and (b) your body is strong and everyone is different. no matter how you clean your piercing, your nose won't fall off and it will all turn out fine. Personally, I usually just use hydrogen peroxide because I have sensitive skin and it's the only thing that works. I'm not dead and am doing just fine.

I really needed this information, thank you so much! I am pretty sure this is what I want so its good for me to have all the formation before hand. thanks again.

Omg thank you! I was so WORRIED when my piercing started moving and I thought I did something wrong. But now i know it's supposed to move

i recommend saline spray for cleaning, it's meant to go into your nose so it's super easy. DONT CHANGE YOUR PIERCING UNTIL IT IS FULLY HEALED

THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION. My piercer told me to avoid products with yeast and no alcohol for 3 weeks. He did say to use q-tips, but I don't instead use a clean cloth. I also put vaseline inside the nostril to loose up the scab and a great product I use 2x a day for my allergies is Simply Saline nasal mist. It clears out my nose.

I’m getting mine done tomorrow... just hope I like it and it doesn’t get infected

Wow! I’ve been doing everything you said not to do! Glad I found your video!

i got my nose pierced a week ago, and the entire right side of my nose, and a bit of my cheek were so sore and kind of throbbing.. i did the sea salt soak ONCE and the pain and soreness went away. I've always heard of people saying to use salt water for piercings, but you explained it so well.. my piercing and I thank you :)

I did both my nose piercings myself. It’s been about 2 months and they’re not infected. I’ve been using q-tips and just regular saline solution I found at walgreens. I’ve gotten 1 or 2 keloids throughout the healing process but I just put a mixture of tea tree oil and sea salt it goes away in 2 days. Honestly not as hard as people make it out to be

I'm so glad I came across this video. I got my nose pierced again for the third time. Now I see why I had to get it pierced again I been doing the wrong things, using plastic cups and not glass and using Q-tips.

I just got mine done and it was one of the easiest things ever. I love it so much and I'm so glad I decided to do it. If you're on the fence..DON'T BE!

I got my nose and ears pierced today. My earlobes had already been done years ago, so I got a second piercing for them. I thought the nostril piercing would hurt a lot, as I'd read that it's more painful because of the cartilage. I also have a low pain tolerance and hate needles. But shockingly, I hardly felt it, and my eye only teared up the tiniest bit. The piercer had given me a tissue for my eye, but I didn't even need it. Lol The earlobe piercings hurt much more. I was really surprised. My earlobes are small and thick so that could be why. Also, my piercer told me to use a qtip with the saline, and that's what she used on it as well.

I got my nose pierced yesterday No pain no redness no swelling so far The only problem I have is yawning I’m cleaning it twice with saline solution everyday Also, for the ones who wanna get a nose piercing and is scared of it getting infected Don’t worry , it’s not that bad 🥰

good advice, super thorough and clear!

omg, I’ve been doing everything wrong in the past 4 days !! thank you for this video

That’s crazy, I’ve used q-tips to clean both of my piercings and never had that issue. Kinda nervous to keep doing it that way now not gonna lie😀

i love how the place i went to didn’t let me choose a stud, gave me a tight fitting hoop. Then just told me to clean it with salt water so i used tap water and table salt with a q-tip. I’m doing great y’all.

Thank you for these great tips!

Great Video Matt. Very few piercing artist post videos on aftercare. Thumbs Up!!!

how is everyone saying it didn't hurt mine literally hurt like hell it was SOOO painful omfg😭😭

i got mine 4 days ago, DONT WORRYYYYY just get it!!! my pain tolerance is VERY low and it only hurt for two seconds and i can’t even feel it now. i’ve blown my nose and it’s not as uncomfortable as i thought it would be and remeberrrr SLEEP WHEN YOURE DEAD

I’ve been putting off piercing my nose for two years and I finally did it today and it didn’t hurt at allllllll!!!

Never heard about don't your nose into a shot glass. Now I've a solution for testing the inside and outside simultaneously. Brilliant!

Ngl I’m pretty upset, i went to replace my nose ring and the guy tried to repierce the same spot and ended up going through new cartilage. Now I have to go through the same healing process i did 7 months ago and that process was NOT fun

For anyone wondering no it doesn’t hurt when u get one, well for me it didn’t legit just got it pierced 30 min ago, but ya know everyone has a different pain tolerance, but ehh it just pinches for a few seconds then ur done 🤷🏽‍♀️

Just got mine. Its my birthday! No pain! No issue!

Wow Dr.Osaoji, it's a great pleasure and am so lucky i came across you on RU-vid am negative now so happy thanks so much

i’m getting mine done in a few hours after school👀

i just got my nose piercing yesterday, and i’ve been cleaning it with a qtip and (the pierce recommended this) contact solution... at least now i know..

by far the most helpful video i’ve seen, although i’ll be boiling the water and leaving it to cool rather than putting it in the microwave just to make sure the water is completely clean

This was so helpful, thankyou so much ❤️

uhhh this is literally the opposite of what my piercer told me lmao... wHO DO I BELIEVE!! everyone says something completely different

I just got my piercing a few hours ago!! I got the nose of course & a helix, they were both my first. The helix did not hurt as much as I thought it would. Since the needle is piercing cartilage, it doesn’t hurt much. I don’t really remember the pain but it was like a pinch & then it was gone. The helix was done very quickly. For my nose, it hurt more than the helix. Since it’s piercing through skin, of course it’s going to hurt. My sister has a septum so she had a similar experience & told me that your eyes WILL water once it pierces through & like she said my eyes did water. My piercer told me to close my eyes & had Green Day playing in the background which totally calmed me down & take my mind off the seconds of pain. He was a really cool dude. It was a nice experience :). I’ll come back in a few weeks or so & update for any people who are curious on the aftercare effects :D

Thank you so much this made me feel so much better☺️

Thank you 🙏🏽 so much for this info. I just got mine today.

Very helpful! Just got mine pierced two days ago for the second time. My first time I got it pierced I had this wart-like growth that kept growing around it and I got tired of it and took the piercing out and let the hole grow up. I told to piercer that did my second piercing and he assumed it was a pimple and told me to use cotton swabs and dial antibacterial soap to keep it clean which just didn't feel right to me. Very glad I found this video!

Sooooo like 4 seconds before watching this video I washed my 1 day old piercing with a q tip and dial antibacterial soap 😩😩😩

this video is great, super informative, thank you, I've been thinking about getting a nose ring and I'm still weighing the options... I'm wearing a fake one right now sometimes and I really like the way it looks, but I'm not sold on having a hole in my nose.. My ears are plenty pierced, but I'm not so sure about my face still.

Thank you so much i am a new timer with my nose percing and i was hoping to change it to a hoop but it only being 4 weeks and i was scared to thing it was too soon to and i know have so info on what to do and i glade i watched this thank you

My piercer said don't touch it or play around with it , I just got mine done like 2 hours ago and I like it so far , just nervous not to get it infected , he said I can take a shower and all , which is fine.

I got mine pierced like two days ago and I’m so scared to sneeze 😂 I’ve sneezed a couple of times but only out of the mouth

i just looked at your septum video and i am so glad i found this because ive been cleaning both of my peircings with peroxide

Hiii! I just recommended THIS video to my audience because I recently got a nose piercing and this information helped me a lot. I hope it also helps everyone else watching my video! Thanks!!! :) Regards from NY!

i just got mine done 3 days ago and what I’ve been using is the saline solution which is what i used when i got my belly done and it worked pretty well. i just mixed some salt in with some filtered water, put that in a clean spray bottle and i spray it over the piercing when it’s time to clean it and i use q-tips to clean around it gently. it’s too early to tell whether or not it’ll heal nicely but im really hoping it won’t be a pain to deal with 🥺🤞🏼

I've heard A LOT of different things as well. From after care, when to switch out to a hoop, and the length it takes to heal. Overall, I think you can just clean it with anything that doesn't have harmful chemicals that might irritate your skin. As far as healing time when you can change to a hoop, I've heard 4, 6, and 12 months BEFORE you can switch to a hoop.... I'm going with the average haha. The reason why MY piercer recommended a year to switch to a hoop was because the hole heals better when it's not molded to the curvature of the hoop and since it's not fully healed, it can get infected from the constant turning of the hoop. But at the end of the day, everyone heals differently. I've had friends that barely cleaned their piercing and switched out their piercings in less than 6 months and everything was fine.

I just got my nose piercing done like a week ago and I did most of the things I wasn’t supposed to do but I’m glad I know now so I won’t do it again thanks so much 🙃💞

Had my nose pierced over a year and can confirm this man is correct

I’m confused bc my piercer recommended me to buy saline and use that to clean my around my piercing and I used a Q-tip as well?

I was told antibacterial soap was good and to clean with a q tip...

This was so helpful man. Thanks!

Thank you for this! Extremely helpful :)

i broke ALL of these rules 😬

I miss being able to pick my nose man. 2 in one side so there's so much metal up there 😂

I jus got a nose piercing and was about to do what was on the not to do list , thanks man appreciate it

i got a ring and they didn’t even tell me anything about if i should go with a stud instead, and its a tight one too. just pierced my nose and gave me a paper. i’m nervous now but this video is really helpful, thank you!

Double nostril piercing here, 16g. I already had my right nostril it's been years now. This past Mothers day I had my left nostril done, so just over a week now. It doesnt hurt anymore, the outside isn't oozing or red. However the inside is a little crusty around the bar to the labret which is implant grade titanium. I've been using the Neilmed saline mist inside and outside 2x day. The crust is okay, right? I don't dare go poking around at it.
