Piercing: what are the earrings in the nose?

How fleeting the fashion! Most recently there was a boom of tattoos on the lower back, and today the line of hair has become earrings in the nose. However, piercing has always been popular in certain youth subcultures. Punks, metalworkers, emo - all of them, somehow or other, decorated their body with various knickknacks.

Should I pierce my nose?

First of all, this is a matter of taste. Everyone can decide for himself whether he wants to insert earrings in the nose and whether the process of puncture and care will stand. In addition, there are medical contraindications:

• Bad coagulability of blood.
• Intolerance of medications with which the puncture is treated.
• Predisposition to keloid formations in places of wound healing.

In the rest there are no contraindications, so you can safely go to the salon. From an aesthetic point of view, piercing is quite appropriate, the main thing is to choose the right jewelry.

Varieties of piercing for the nose

At first glance an ignorant person may think that there is not much choice. In fact, gold jewelry in the form of rings - this is not the only option for piercing the nose. There are many forms of earrings, among which everyone can find their own.

And the choice will depend, first of all, on the location of the puncture. There are several basic types of nose piercing.

1. Puncture of the wing of the nose (or nostrils) - this is the most common option, you can say the classic. Simple in execution, safe, looks modest and not defiant.
2. "Septum", it is the puncture of the septum - a more complicated version than the previous one, but no less common and quite light. Most often it is decorated with gold jewelry in the form of rings or screws.
3. "Septril" is one of the varieties of "septum". The difference is only in the direction of the puncture. In this case, it is executed vertically.
4. "Bridge", which means "bridge" - is a puncture of the upper part of the nose bridge at the eye level through soft tissues without grazing cartilage. Just like "septril", it can be vertical.

Of course, this is not all varieties of piercing, but, perhaps, the most popular of them and the safest.

How to choose the first earring?

From what puncture you choose, it depends which type of earring in the nose will fit. All ornaments can be conditionally divided into two categories: the material from which they are made and the shape. Today there are:

• Classic rings - suitable for "septum" and wings of the nose.
• Semirings - for "septum";
• Bananas and bars - are quite versatile and suitable for "septum", "bridge", "septril" and other more complex punctures;
• Nostrils (straight or curved) are suitable for the wings of the nose.

When you have decided on the form, it is worth thinking about the material. It is especially important that first time your decoration meets certain requirements:

1. They should safely transfer the treatment with alcohol or other sterilizing fluids.
2. The material must be hypoallergenic. Therefore, do not immediately run and buy gold earrings. Prices for them, to put it mildly, rather big (the simplest decoration will cost from 1500 rubles, and since there is no limit to perfection, then all 17-20 thousand), and the allergy to metal can arise without ceremony. Ideally suited bioplast, titanium or medical steel (it is also called surgical).
3. Seryozhka should be convenient in care, so you do not have to remove it too often. This is especially important at first, while the channel only heals.
4. Decoration should be comfortable, do not cling to clothes, do not interfere and at the same time like you and be aesthetic.

All these recommendations are especially important for the first earring in the nose, because the fate of your puncture depends on how the healing will pass. Well, when the channel is fully formed and healed, you can buy at least silver, even gold earrings. Prices bite, but now you know for sure that you will not remove the jewelry in a couple of days from pain and inflammation.
