Are you looking for a super unique nose piercing that most people have likely never seen before? The rhino piercing could be the one for you. It\u2019s perfect if you want a distinctive, memorable piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The rhino piercing looks great both on its own and alongside other nose piercings<\/a>, such as a bridge or septum. It might be worth considering whether it\u2019s your first or second nose piercing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s everything you need to know about rhino piercings and the best way to prepare for one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

What is a rhino piercing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The rhino piercing gets its name from its resemblance to a rhino\u2019s horn. It\u2019s a cartilage piercing that goes through the tip of the nose. It\u2019s also known as a vertical nose tip piercing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deep rhino piercing is the more extreme version. It goes through the bottom of your nose to the top. But the exit is much higher on the bridge of your nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When did the rhino piercing first appear?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

For centuries, nose piercings have existed in the Middle East, India, Africa, and among the Aboriginals of Australia as part of their cultures. While it\u2019s not proven, it\u2019s possible that the rhino piercing existed among them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the rhino piercing only started appearing in the western world in the early 2000s, and it\u2019s still an uncommon piercing.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are rhino piercings safe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rhino piercings are safe to the extent of your diligence. Find a licensed and experienced professional piercer who works in sanitary conditions, and it will be safe. Then take care of your piercing like your life depends on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like any body piercing, rhino piercings are prone to mishaps. That\u2019s why educating yourself about this unique piercing before getting one is essential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the point of a rhino piercing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A rhino piercing will give you a unique look and make you stand out from the crowd. So, if you want to experiment with a piercing many people haven\u2019t done yet, this piercing is excellent for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rhino piercing also indicates boldness and doing things out of the norm. This eye-catching piercing will suit you if you\u2019re drawn to the unusual and are a bit rebellious. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Getting a rhino piercing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you book that appointment, you should know the process of a rhino piercing, the pain level, the cost, and the risks involved. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it done?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Getting a rhino piercing is generally similar to getting other nose piercings, except there\u2019s a lot of cartilage to pierce through, so it\u2019s slower and uncomfortable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, if you want a deep rhino piercing, you\u2019ll need an experienced, highly-rated piercer with extensive knowledge about the nose structure. An inexperienced piercer will damage your nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After vetting your piercer and looking around the studio to check if it\u2019s a sanitary space, it\u2019s time for the piercing process. Your piercer will mark the entry and exit points with a marker. Check and approve the markings before going through with the piercing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The piercer will then push a hollow needle through your nose tip tissue from the bottom to the top. They will then place the jewelry through the perforation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is a rhino piercing painful?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, the rhino piercing looks incredibly painful, but it hurts less than you\u2019d expect. People who have had this piercing done say it\u2019s more uncomfortable than painful. As with every piercing, the pain level will also depend on your pain tolerance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the risks?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Rhino piercings come with risks, much like any other nose piercing.<\/a> You might be allergic to the jewelry metal, you might experience nerve damage, or the piercing might cause pain or numbness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, some piercings pose more risk than others, and a rhino piercing is one of them. The nose contains delicate structures that, if pierced, can cause significant damage that will require surgery to fix. Deep rhino piercings are especially prone to nose damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the rhino piercing is vulnerable to scarring. If you decide you don\u2019t want the piercing anymore and take out the jewelry at a later point, there will be a scar on the tip of your nose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much does it cost?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The cost of a rhino piercing ranges between $50 and $100. It depends on the piercer and studio location. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
