Nose rings are usually worn for aesthetic purposes. So, if you look in the mirror and don\u2019t like how yours fit on your nose, you can do something about it. There are many reasons why your nose hoop may not fit right. It may be because of the position of your piercing, the shape of your nose, the size of your nose, or the size of your nose ring<\/a>. This article will show you how to make a nose ring fit more snugly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

How should a nose hoop fit?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your nose hoop should be close to your nose without putting pressure on your piercing. You should be able to move it freely if you want to remove it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A professional piercer will measure your nose with a caliper to get your correct diameter. This measurement determines the size of the nose hoop your piercer will fit you with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should your nose hoop touch your nose?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, your nose hoop should not touch your nose. If it does, it means it\u2019s too tight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udca1 Warning: If your nose hoop is too snug, it can cause your piercing to be sore, cause migration, or cause the ring to cut through the piercing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can I put an earring in my nose piercing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

No, you shouldn’t put an earring in your nose piercing. The post of earrings are usually too long for the nose and may end up in contact with nose tissue which can cause injury. Studs designed for nose piercings typically have shorter posts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, most earrings are not made of safe materials \u2014 like titanium and implant-grade stainless steel \u2014 you need for your nose piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jewelry for your nose piercing<\/a> needs to have the correct thickness. Typical earrings posts are 22G which is thinner than the standard gauge for nose piercing, which is 18G. Even though people can switch to a post of 20G, anything thinner is not recommended because it will fall off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, wearing an earring will require you to use an earring back which does not feel comfortable in the nostril. Nose rings that stay put<\/a> usually have a bent tip. Your best bet is to stick to the different types of nose rings<\/a> designed specifically for nose piercings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to Make a Nose Ring Fit More Snugly <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To make a nose ring fit more snugly, have it measured by a piercer. If their recommended ring size still doesn\u2019t fit, you may need a custom bend to suit your piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n

    1. Hold up your nose hoop and snip away a tiny part. The amount of metal you cut off depends on how large your nose ring is for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Use a jewelry plier to bend your hoop back in shape.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Clean your nose ring with warm water and antibacterial soap.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

      \ud83d\udca1 Tip: Don’t remove your nose ring if your piercing is still new. Your nostril can take about 4-6 months to heal. If you remove your nose ring before it is completely healed, it can close up.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
