The First Known Pierced Nose...

Have you heard of Lakshmi?  She's the Hindu goddess of wisdom, fortune, prosperity, courage, generosity and fertility.  She was beautiful and graceful, with four arms, almost always holding lotuses - and her nose is pierced.

 

Taking their cue from her, Indian women were the first to incorporate nose piercings within their culture.  Because the left side of the nose was associated with the reproductive organs according to the teachings of Ayurvedic yogis, an Indian bride would often have her left nostril pierced on the night before her wedding.

For men, the practice began among Middle Eastern nomads and other tribes.  It signified their manliness, wealth, and power.

What Kind of Piercing?

Now that you know some of the history of nose piercing, let's go over what you can find on our site:  You will learn about having your nostril, your septum, or the bridge of your nose pierced.  You will discover bridge piercing, nose rings, different types of jewelry, nose piercing prices and nose piercing aftercare tips.

Nose Piercing Cleaning & Care

Some specialists recommend removing the stud or ring each day and cleaning it. Others say to leave it in place but use cotton balls moistened in salt water on either side of the piercing, to cleanse the area and also to remove the hard, crusty stuff that accumulates on the healing part and on the jewelry. Which way is right for you?

 

You'll also learn about what to avoid when you heal from a new piercing and what you can do to avoid the piercing hole to close if you remove the jewelry.

Not only do we explain what chemicals you can and cannot use near a newly pierced area, we also talk about makeup, facial cleansers, lotions, and similar products.

Nose Piercing frequently asked questions

Do Nose Piercing Hurt

A professional piercer must undergo comprehensive training to qualify for his job. It is not like the mall employee with the piercing gun who learns in a matter of one to two weeks. Your qualified piercing professional learns about the vessels and nerves of the human body.

He/She knows where there are sensitive bundles of nerves to avoid on your nose. So the answer to the question "do nose piercings hurt" depends on knowing exactly where to pierce. Since most professionals can perform piercings just about anywhere on the body, they study the circulatory and nervous system for several years. We say, bring on the needle!

Do Nose Piercings Hurt

Nose Piercing Healing

Avoid swimming while your piercing heals, but if you must go then cover it with a water-proof wound bandage. Brands like Tegaderm and Nexcare offer small bandages that will protect your piercing from chlorinated pool water.

Nose Piercing Healing Tips

Nose Piercing Infection

• To keep the piercing clean, apply a thin coat of antiseptic ointment to the area-before sleep and before you go out.
• If you notice pus, wait until the drainage slows down. Then you can move the piercing just a little, once every week. If you move it more often then you will aggravate the nose piercing infection.
• If you're washing or wiping your face, avoid tugging on your nose jewelry.

Nose Piercing Care and You

• Increased pain is one of the earliest symptoms, even before you can observe other symptoms.
• Erythema, or redness of the skin around the piercing, is a telltale sign.
• Discharge beyond the ordinary oozing is symptomatic, especially if it increases or thickens.
• Discharge of uninfected piercings might be clear with a very slight tinge of blood. Infection has probably set in if it becomes green, gray, or yellow. You might even notice a foul odor.
• The pierced area might begin to feel warmer than the surrounding skin. If you develop a fever, that's a certain indication.

Nose Piercing Problems and Solutions

Nose Piercing Problems Caused by Allergies or Alike

Certainly, the piercing professional should ask you if you're allergic to anything-food, drugs, or metals. But most people aren't aware of any existing allergy. If you've never before placed any type of metal against your exposed skin tissues, you would have no reason to know! And, as mentioned above, most people are unaware of just which metals serve as ingredients in the piece of jewelry that is being inserted.
