How to Put a Nose Piercing In?

To insert a nose piercing, use lubrication and gentle pressure. Here's a detailed guide:

Preparing for Insertion

Cleanliness is Key: Always ensure your hands and the piercing jewelry are clean before attempting to insert it.
Lubricate: The most important step is to use some sort of water-based lubrication. This helps the jewelry slide in smoothly and minimizes friction.
Jewelry Type: Consider the type of jewelry you are using. Some are easier to insert than others (e.g., a straight stud versus a hoop).
Mirror: Use a mirror so that you can see what you're doing.

Position the Jewelry: Hold the lubricated jewelry piece near the piercing hole.
Gentle Insertion: Gently insert the jewelry into the piercing using very little pressure to make sure not to damage the fistula, or piercing hole.
Avoid Force: Don't force it in if you encounter resistance.
Push Carefully: If you experience resistance and the jewelry feels as if it doesn't want to go in, then go ahead and push slightly harder.
Adjust: Once the piercing is in, adjust it so it sits comfortably.
Aftercare: Clean the area with a saline solution to prevent infection.

Resistance: If the jewelry won't go in, applying a little more lubricant and gentle pressure can often help.
Pain: If you experience significant pain, it’s best to stop and consult a professional piercer.
Infection: If you experience swelling, redness, or pus, clean the area with saline and consult a medical professional.
Jewelry Size: If your jewelry feels too big, use a smaller size. If it feels too small, use a larger size.

Patience: Take your time; rushing can cause unnecessary discomfort or damage.
Professional Help: If you're unsure or uncomfortable, seek help from a professional piercer for insertion.
Avoid Touching: Do not touch the piercing unless you are cleaning it.
Follow Aftercare Instructions: Adhere to a strict aftercare routine for optimal healing.
