"Hi I'm Noel Garcia, the owner of New Age Body Piercing in Coconut Grove, Miami. In this clip we're going to show you how to hide a nose ring and a septum ring which is an in your nose piercing. Nose ring is very very simple. It is actually a plastic contact with a little thing on top and it is curved like a regular nose ring which is almost almost it is the same thing. It is just that it is clear so the same idea that you used to remove and put in a nose ring and nostril screw is the same thing you are going to do with a nostril. Once again lubrication, you place it on top you put it in, you bend it and that is your clear retainer. Now we are going to show you actually how to do a retainer on a septum piercing, it is part of a nose, it's a nose piercing same family kind of. Usually it is a horse shoe. A horse shoe is here here and it is actually open and to hide it usually we pierce this for the first time. The longer you keep it in the nose the better it is for you. You can keep it for two weeks inside your septum hiding, it is really really good. It will feel a lot better and usually second piercings tend to get a little bit crooked so it will actually tend to fix itself with time. Here we are going to show you it is going to be a gap and the gap is we can actually go up the nose in your septum and that is how you hide it and that way you don't see it. Of course it needs to be pierced this way. You keep it up, you hide it and you cannot see your septum piercing. Now the retainer here to hide your nose piercing you might see a little bit of a glare so we don't recommend to put any makeup or anything if anything you can get a nail filer and file it down just a little bit smaller just to make it a little bit tinier, away from that do not use no chemicals except for some kind of lubrication and this has been actually how to hide your nose ring."
