Nose Rings are the Trendy Fashion Element

Function

In modern Western culture, nose jewelry is mainly used for appearance, to accentuate the natural appearance of an individual. Many people see jewelry as elegant, for example, the size of hoops and tacks are often smaller than their counterparts in the ears or other areas. Rings, like lip hoop rings, on the nose is more prevalent in women.

Characteristics

There are three main areas in which they are used for nose jewelry. The most common nose piercing is when a hole is placed in the right or left nostril to allow a piece of jewelry to wear. Piercing bridge are piercing through the skin on the top of the nose between the eyes. Septum piercing or sands as they are sometimes called, are a traditional form of piercing where the skin is pierced in the base wall of the nasal septum that separates the two sides of the nose with the fake nose ring.

Types

A circular rocker arm resembles the shape of a horseshoe and has two small spheres or other shapes at the ends so that it can be passed through a perforation.

A curved bar is a long strip of metal, slightly curved to allow easy placement on a piercing. Again, two small beads are placed on the ends of the thread. This is more common in a bridge drill.

Captive ball rings are circular rings that contain a small bead with recesses that allow it to be placed in the opening between the ring, creating a full circle. This is the most common piece of jewelry by the nose.

The pin is more common among women as it allows a jewel for prominent nose decoration. A stallion is a small piece of metal that is inside the ring of the nose so it is less noticeable like a bar or a ring.

Warning

Nose piercing should only be performed by a professional piercer body. Infection can occur, as is common with bridge perforation, if not cleaned and sterile conditions are not maintained.

All piercings should be inserted immediately and need one to three months to heal.
