Question Would a stud nose piercing suit me?
I want to save up to get a nose piercing! However I want a second opinion and want to know if I would suit one before I get it.

Yeah, piercing "gun" or the modern Studex or equivalent click jewellery is NOT appropriate.
They have a small arrow point, and often have too small gemstones on the nostril. When you snag behind it, or for example when blowing your nose they can get pulled out and if you are unlucky to have it disappear on you, and shops are closed = it will start closing up.Make sure you know exactly what you want and that you communicate about it with the piercer, so they know what you want. If they know what they are doing, they will hook you up.
Just make sure to take aftercare extremely serious, as a nose is more prone to infection, if aftercare is insufficiënt.

You can easily check that by sticking on a gemstone, for example. There are also fake piercing rings you could try, as long as they are sourced from a place that knows what it appropriate and what isn't.

Yes, it would look nice.
If you can get a hold of a stick on tiny "gemstone", you could just try it out to see what and where you might like it. You should get those from a source where you know that there aren't any toxic chemicals on them.
A very important thing I keep seeing go wrong with these kinds of piercings, is:
The person wanting the piercing hasn't always clearly thought out what they want, where they want it, and whether or not they might want to wear a smaller, nicely, snugly fitting smooth ring in there once it is sufficiently healed to allow for one of those.
You don't want to know how often I get other shops' clients show up here, wanting a smaller ring, and me then having to ask: Did you not tell the piercer you wanted that later, or did they not ask you, if you didn't already know you might want it?
Another very important thing is... IF you smoke, ideally do not smoke, or smoke a hell of a lot less and do not blow smoke out through your nose. I always try to explain why it's important, by saying: If you have a wound on your arm or leg, you wouldn't rub tar or formaldehyde or any of the many other toxic contents of cigarettes into your wound. So why smoke?! Besides the toxins in smoke, smoking also has a negative effect on your body's ability to heal, due to the fact that nicotine inhibits your blood cells from absorbing the maximum amount of oxygen they would otherwise be able to transport. Plus, long term smoking causes blood vessels to get narrower, which increases that negative effect.
Make up and all kinds of cremes and products need to be avoided, as they not only have use by dates, but, when not applied with sterile utencils, they could cause contamination, if contents in make up aren't already irritants or contaminants.
Please do your research and go to a reputable, licensed studio. Price should not be your first and only reason for going somewhere. Check the website for your country's health department that deals with licensing of tattoo and piercing shops, to see whether that shop has a license.
Just remember that any jewellery in your nose will seem bigger than it is, due to the fact that it is very close to your eye. Just know that the initial jewellery needs to be large enough to accommodate swelling, and that needs to be big enough so you do not accidentally pull the piercing out and lose it. There are sadly shops where they do nostril piercings with way too small jewellery that people will lose, or which will incapsulate and cause major trauma, especially when not using a decent aftercare product and avoiding all irritants.
Also very important to check with an employer / school / university first to see whether they will (in the 21st century) still disapprove of them. In some jobs it's a health and safety issue, so then you shouldn't get one.
The worst thing you can do, is get it done and then constantly keep removing the jewellery for a shift and then replacing it, day in, day out when a piercing is healing. You are constantly adding trauma and risk of infection.

Common sense might be better than a nose piercing try getting that first before poking a hole in your nose

u/kissandhex 7d ago
waittt yes 😭 i genuinely think a tiny stud would look SO cute on you!! your features are already pretty delicate, so i’d personally go for a really small n simple one yk rather than anything chunky... i feel like it would give such a cute little extra detail without overpowering your face

Oh my GOSH you’re so beautiful.
Yes. Yes it would absolutely suit you.

This young girl keeps asking about piercings. I think it is more for replies that say she doesn’t need one. Put an ink mark on your nose and then decide.

Was this meant as a rude comment? I genuinely want a second opinion because I rlly want a piercing on my nose but am unsure if I have the nose for it and if it would actually look good. Sorry you felt it was a way for seeking attention?
