    Help, nose ring issues.

    I have a stud in my nose right now and I've had my piercing for about four months But I cant seem to get a ring in, It's the right gauge and diameter, but it wont go in. Whats should I do, I was hoping I wouldn't have to go back to the piercer. Or is it too soon to change it to a ring. Help?

     there's nothing wrong with going back to your peircer if you're worried about something that they did for you.

     

    sometimes [ especially with cartilage ] the skin doesn't quite " fuse " with the new hole in your cartilage right away. sometimes the actual jewelry can poke UNDER the skin opening if it's a bit loose. the angle is very important when you try to slide it in. rings can be difficult in tight places like a nostril.

     

    i would suggest taking a warm, damp cloth and holding it at the peircing for a few minutes. this generally relaxes the skin and can make inserting new jewlry a little bit easier. lubricant is your friend.

     

    also, it *might* be too soon. does it hurt when you try to insert the jewelry?  

     

    try the warm cloth trick and if it still isn't working, maybe you should wait a while. ive never had a nostril peircing so i don't know beyond that.

     

    good luck!

    Re: Help, nose ring issues.

     When I first got mine done, the ring fell out and I had a really hard time getting it back in, then I realized that the ring wasn't going all the way through, I couldn't get it to go through the other side of the hole. It's gross sounding, but I had to stick my finger up my nose to line the jewelry up right.

    I suggest going to see the person who pierced it for you for their help. 

    The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where one ends and the other begins?

    What size is it, 20g, 18, 16? I had my nostril pierced at 20g, and couldn't for the life of me get a ring in after it healed, the hole was just too darn small and fiddly. I was fine with changing screws though.
