Choose the right hardware for your nose piercings
February 2, 2005

Nose piercings are very popular and usually go smoothly when
done. Aftercare is very important and the piercer, if he’s any good
at all, will go over this with you in detail. But sometimes people
get so used to what they prefer in terms of nose jewelry that, when
they do a nose piercing, they just put in the nose studs or screws
they’ve come to prefer and forget to understand why they’ve chosen
them.
For piercings to the nose, you have a few choices. Nose bones or nose
studs will have one end with a very small ball that you push through
your piercing, where it will then hold the stud in place. If you
prefer, you can also get what are called nose screws. These do not
have the small ball on the end that you need to push through your
pierced nose. Instead the post is either “L” shaped or straight
for part of its length, then bent into a curve. These go into the
nostril just like their name implies – you screw them into place and
the curved end keeps them from falling out.
Your piercer may have a specific reason he chooses one over the
other, or it may be only personal preference, but you should always
ask. Anything new you can learn about nostril piercings and their
care will be helpful. Of course, you should also try both the screws
and studs in your nostril piercing when they are fully healed. You may
decide based on wearing comfort or relative ease of removal and
insertion that you prefer one over the other. It’s up to you – it’s
your nose!
