Function
-
A nostril piercing is for adornment, religious reasons, a rite of passage or conveying marital status.
Types
-
A captive bead ring or a nostril screw are the types of jewelry placed and worn in a nostril piercing, with a rainbow of colors and jewels available. Clear retainers are also available for hiding the piercing while at the workplace or school.

Time Frame
-
If the jewelry is removed, the piercing will close and is considered temporary, leaving a small scar. When jewelry is always inserted, the piercing may be considered permanent, or lifelong lasting. A nostril piercing takes six months to a year to completely heal after the initial piercing.
Size
-
A nostril piercing is performed with an 18- to 20-gauge needle followed by jewelry of the same size. After swelling from the initial piercing has decreased, a smaller piece of jewelry can be inserted.
Famous Ties

Warning
