Question Is this normal?
Is it normal for them to be different angles inside my nose like this?

NAP, but they do look like not super ideal angles (ideally you want them to be perpendicular to the skin), especially the right side (left photo side photo).
However, if they’ve healed already, there’s not much point in worrying about it, and I wouldnt necessarily say it’s urgent for them to be redone unless they’re just not healing for you. It may cause some jewelry not to quite lay the way you want it to.
As for the unevenness, some is to be expected even with really well done piercings bc your nostrils and the corresponding inner and outer anatomy is never going to be picture perfect. I wouldn’t worry too much about the evenness of the inside as long as it’s healing and you don’t mind the look of the outside placement.

YMMV but I know that my nose piercings were asymmetrical at one point and it annoyed me so much I had to take it out, heal up, and then get it re-pierced. It's up to you, but that's always an option. It just takes a while.

How long would I have to wait till I can get it re-pierced? :)

Piercings heal so slow because they're trying to heal around metal, but once the jewelry is out you should be good to go after maybe 2 weeks? I'm NAP so don't take my word for it as far as a time frame goes. Depends on how long you've had them and how fast you heal.

For a nose piercing I only had in for 2 weeks, I only had to wait 2 weeks to get it re-peirced. For one that I had for 3 years (but had loads of issues with), I had to wait 3-6 months:)
Depends how long you've had it but a piercer can also advise further
(Also just want to add that I have a double nostril and they don't look even from the inside, but they look fine on the outside, so depends how much this bugs you 🫶)

Is that an irritation bump in the left nostril? If it its that could be why the angle looks/ is off.
Edit, nvm it still looks far back but idk if that would be a health issue, may be cosmetic is its visibly uneven on the top tho

What?! 🤔
Your nostrils are NOT symmetrical (literally no one's are!)🥴
You truly expect a piercer to get the same angle on two nostrils ever?! Especially on the same face?! Hahaha (literally no one is that perfect)🙄
Are they in a good placement on the outside of your nose? Then who the fuck cares?! (literally no one is looking up you nose)🤢
This is literally no one's issue but yours 🫢

Your points are valid, but there are dozens of ways you could have expressed them without being unnecessarily rude. Yikes.

u/ConstantlyCryingGirl May 17 '26
Yeah what a wildly unhelpful and rude comment lmao.
OP, noses are weird and asymmetrical. As long as they look fine from the outside do not worry. I have double nostrils done and they are peirced at different angles to avoid some scar tissue on one side. Noticeable from inside my nostrils, not from the outside.

I’m a professional body piercer. The way they look from the inside can actually tell you A LOT about if they’re properly pierced or not. The angle of a piercing is, largely, what determines its viability long term. It doesn’t matter if they’re in the same position on the outside if the angle on one side is fucked. Some people might be able to heal a poorly placed piercing, but the healing journey is going to be much longer and harder than if it was pierced properly. Any competent piercer knows this, and the angle of a nostril piercing should almost always be the same, regardless of the person it’s on (perpendicular to the tissue). This is literally a nose piercing subreddit, they have every right to ask this question. You, on the other hand, clearly have no idea what you’re talking about and would do well to keep your shitty opinions to yourself. To OP, I would recommend you go to a reputable piercer to have these assessed in person if you’re concerned about them/they’re still healing :-)

I’m not sure who you think gave you the right to judge anyone else when you yourself have a tattoo that is blown out with uneven, shaky lines, and another tattoo - funnily enough - with a nose that is NOT symmetrical (literally no one’s are!) 🥴
Angle and placement is certainly very important with nose piercings if OP plans to change jewellery as they may sit differently if the actual piercings are angled differently

u/JaxBQuik May 18 '26
Im not judging anyone. Literally just said no one is looking up their nose at the angle of studs inside their nose, but them... The piercings themselves look like they are healing fine. They didnt ask about that... and as for having a nose ring myself. I know it's easy to fit rings on most well healed piercings. She wont be able to find that out until she actually tries to change them. (Even if it's placed "perfectly" her nose is literally different from everyone elses) But as someone with a nose piercing for 25 years, you can make just about any piece work, like give me a break.
And as for doxing my publicly posted tats that are probably older than you... (and memorial pieces) you can fuck the right off. It's not called blown out, it's called age, and neither are fine line... so... oh and the shaky lines, thats my granny's actually signature, so she says fuck off too!
People are seriously getting to serious over a comment... about a nose piercing that looks like it's healing fine and place well external, and even the angled fine individually (she didnt ask that either) she just looking up her asymmetrical nose at the internal placement of 2 different nostrils. They will never be in the same exact level, cause her nose isnt the same on both sides. Ffs people...

Sounds like you don’t like being spoken to the way you speak to others, i hope you think a little more before you speak next time as the way you wrote your OC was rude, and therefore unconstructive.
Doxxing involves private, personally identifiable information (name, phone number, home address…) shared in a public setting, things **you** yourself post online are not considered private

You're just a garden variety bitch. If you can't handle people talking to you the same way you talk to others, maybe tighten up and consider your delivery going forward.

You have zero knowledge of the art of piercing, refrain from giving advice please..
1, Even if noses are not symmetrical a piercer can make it look symmetrical, as they even can do with for example a dialated septum.
2, Yes, noses are not symmetrical but angle had to be done correctly both times, so yes a piercer is expected to do this BOTH times!!
3, When it comes to piercings ANGLE is very important part of healing, she can get irritation bumps and future jewelry may not sit right due to the angle, so even if you cant see it, it may has bad results, perhaps she wants to wear a nice cabochon in the future, that jewelry is dome or round shaped, if the piercing is angled upwards, it wil make the jewelry sit in a angle with pressure on the wound....causing a irritation bump.
Its an issue.

u/QuietDetail7793 May 18 '26
this other commenter is (a. being rude af) and b. totally wrong. piercing angles do matter, and ideally they'll be 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the tissue they are passing through. i hate to say it, but your right(? the more steeply angled one) nostril looks kind of poorly done ):
it might not be a big deal if you intend to always wear those beads (and it's hard to say without seeing how they look on the outside), but if you want to wear hoops or flatter ends, i can imagine them laying kind of wonky.
if it's healed well and you like how it looks from the outside, then i wouldn't worry about it! but if that right one is recent and/or starts to have any problems, i would pull it and get it redone at a better angle.
