What is a nose piercing (nostril)?

It passes through the nasal cartilage, usually just below the nostril crease on the side of the nose. Before the piercing, the specialist will mark a point on your nose so you can assess how you like the chosen location.

Does a nose piercing symbolize anything? 💭

• In South Asia, it is very common for a left-sided nose piercing to symbolize a woman's health and fertility, based on Ayurvedic principles.

• In the Western world, it mostly has no symbolic meaning – it all depends on personal aesthetics and taste 😉

Possible cons of nose piercing

• 😭 Pain : The nose is a sensitive area, and piercing can be painful, but it depends on the individual pain threshold.

• 🩸 Risk of infection : If aftercare is not done correctly, inflammation or infection may occur.

• ⏳ Healing time : Healing can take up to 6 months depending on the type of piercing.

• 🛋️ Care : It's not enough to just pierce the piercing - it needs to be cared for twice a day with saline solution. Avoid harsh skin care ingredients such as alcohol, salicylic acid, or benzoyl peroxide.
