No, you should not pierce your nose at an angle. It's essential that the piercing is done perpendicular (at a 90-degree angle) to the skin.
Here's why a 90-degree angle is crucial for a nose piercing:
-
Proper Healing: Piercing at a 90-degree angle promotes optimal healing. This allows the tissue around the piercing to close evenly and securely.
-
Reduced Complications: Deviations from this angle can lead to several complications, including:
- Infection: Angled piercings can create pockets where bacteria can thrive.
- Migration/Rejection: The body might try to push the piercing out (rejection) or the piercing can shift from its original position (migration).
- Scarring: Uneven healing due to an angled piercing can result in more noticeable scarring.
- Pain and Discomfort: An incorrectly angled piercing can cause persistent pain and irritation.
-
Jewelry Fit: A piercing done at the wrong angle can make it difficult to wear jewelry comfortably and securely. The jewelry may not sit correctly and can cause irritation or even be rejected.
In summary, it is very important for the piercing to be done at a perfect 90-degree angle to the skin tissue as different angles can cause healing complications.
