Nose Piercings, the Popular and Uncommon

You've been watching your friends coming up with unique nose piercing ideas. They have probably followed a Pinterest style or observed someone on social media. Clearly, it's the jewellery idea that you may not have seen before, like people sporting studs on the tip of their noses or on the bridge. These are the unique piercings which make you different from the common style. So, we have compiled some trendy options which you can use to turn heads, 

Forward-facing Nostril Piercing

A forward-facing nostril piercing is when a small stud or ring is placed on the front side of your nostril, making it visible from the front. The piercing is usually done on the side of your nose, giving it a unique and fashionable appearance. Taking care of it is important, and cleaning it regularly with a saline solution helps to keep it healthy. If you're into expressing your personality through body art, a forward-facing nostril piercing could be a fun and stylish choice!

Mantis Piercing

It's a type of nose piercing where you get to rock a nifty little piece of jewellery, like a stud or a ring, right between your nostrils. It's a bit different from the usual nose piercings, which give you a bold and super stylish look. You want to keep it clean and comfy, so gently cleaning it with a saline solution is a smart move. And guess what? If you're searching for a way to express yourself uniquely and fabulously, a mantic nostril piercing might just be the perfect choice to showcase your awesome style. 

Rhino Piercing  

There are a few nose piercings that are less common and may not be well known. The rhino piercing! It's a curved barbell that goes vertically through the tip of your nose, which is why it's also called a vertical nose tip piercing. This type of piercing depends a lot on the shape of your nose, but when it's fully healed, it can look really nice.

Septrial Piercing

The septril piercing is quite rare and depends on your nose's anatomy. You need to start with a fully healed septum piercing to get this piercing. Then, you would stretch the piercing until it reaches your nose's tip. The septril piercing goes through the tip of your nose and exits in the septum fistula. 

Nasallang Piercing

The nasallang piercing may not be commonly recognized because it can look like the person just has both nostrils pierced. It's a single barbell that goes through one nostril, the septum, and the opposite nostril. It's like having a three-point industrial piercing for your nose. It's a good option for someone who wants something more advanced but doesn't want it to be super obvious.

Bridge Piercing 

Another nose piercing type is called a surface piercing, and one example is the bridge piercing. It's placed at the top of your nose, close to where your eyebrows meet. The bridge piercing uses a straight barbell that goes under the skin and sits on top of the bone. People might ask if it goes through the bone, but it's a chance to explain how surface piercings work. Now you know there's more to nose piercings than just septum or nostril piercings. You can even change them up by stretching or getting multiple nostril piercings on one or both sides. 

No worries if your nose shape doesn't allow for a specific type of piercing. High nostril piercings can still bring some excitement, and if you already have paired nostril piercings or a bridge piercing, adding chain dangles can make your style stand out. Another option is to stretch your nostril piercings for a bolder look. Many types can be stretched for a unique appearance, whether it's a conch, septum, or labret piercing. If adding a forward-facing piercing isn't possible, remember that new piercing ideas and styles come up regularly. Just stay alert, and your friendly piercer will be there to guide you.
