Nose piercing is a form of body modification where a small hole is created in the nose to insert jewelry. This practice is popular in various cultures around the world and can be done in different areas of the nose, such as the nostril or septum. The procedure is typically performed by a professional piercer using sterile equipment to minimize the risk of infection. After getting a nose piercing, proper aftercare is essential for healing. This includes cleaning the area with saline solution and avoiding touching or changing the jewelry too soon. Common types of jewelry used in nose piercings include studs, hoops, and captive bead rings.
