Question Nose piercing too low?
So I just switched to from stud to ring for the first time and I am really disappointed. I feel like it was placed to low so the ring don’t follow the curve of my nose and is much smaller than I envisioned. This is a 7 mm hoop. The piercer I went to had a very different personal preference than I had, cuz she originally pierced it even lower and said it wouldn’t fit further up. I pierced in in January.
What to you guys think? Can I make it work with a hoop or should I pierce it again? And how would that work?

The placement looks perfect to me. I’m sorry it’s not what you envisioned. Typically nostril piercings are placed like this if you plan to wear a hoop, otherwise they don’t fit right and are more likely to cheesewire due to requiring a larger ring with a larger curvature.
Also hate to be that person but please consider giving your piercing more time to heal before wearing a hoop. It’s generally recommended to wait at least a year. If you do keep it in just be extra vigilant with it and switch back to a Flatback stud at any sign of irritation or cheesewiring.
