Wearing Nose Piercing jewelry is a fun way to differentiate your personal style. You can choose to pierce the nostril or the septum with hot jewelry options for both choices!
First there is the Nostril Nose Piercing
This is the side or fleshy portion of your nose. The screw twist is the most common jewelry type used during the initial nose piercing. Captive bead rings, circular barbells, or a small prong are used as well. Please know to avoid anything and everything with glue as it severely interferes with the sterilization. After the piercing has healed, the sky is the limit with options ranging from $2-2000 dollars depending on quality and materials used.
