How to put in a hoop nose ring?

Before any action, the first thing you should do is to cleaning your hands and sanitizing the jewelry.
●Captive nose rings:
Captive nose rings or ball closure rings have a little ball on them that is secured with tension. To put it on, you need to slightly spread the ring to get the bead to come off. Then, insert it into your piercing and rotate the ring till the exterior is aligned to where the bead should be. Now, apply a little pressure to snap the ball back in place and secure the nose ring.

●Nose seamless hoops:
A nose hoop is probably the easiest to put on out of the bunch. When open it, please note to screw the ring end up and down (vertical), no right and left (horizontal). Simply glide the end that isn't beaded end through the hole from the inside. Rotate it once it is entirely in and you're all done.

How to put in a bone nose stud?


A nose stud is the most common type of nose jewelry out there. In fact, when you first get a piercing, you are often suggested to use a nose stud. The design is pretty simple. It is a long piece of metal, followed by some sort of embellishment at the end. Here is how to put one on:
1. You first have to sanitize. This includes your jewelry and piercing too. It is best to keep an alcohol pad handy while doing this.
2. Remove the post that it came with. The post is the piece of plastic or metal that keeps your nose stud in place.
3. Insert the pin into your piercing from the outside until the embellishment stops it.
4. Slightly press down on the embellishment so that the longer part of the stud tilts down.
5. Slip the post back on and let go. Make sure it is not too tight, or it will hurt you. However, if it is too loose, it may fall out or expose the elongated metal behind it. Make sure it is placed just right.
Removing it is pretty simple too. Just remove the post the same way you got it on and slide the nose stud out. It is best to keep the post on the nose stud so that you don’t lose it.

How to put in an l shaped nose ring?


An l shaped nose ring is pretty fascinating. Many people call it a faux nose ring even though it requires a piercing. This is probably because it has a unique way of insertion, even though it looks exactly like a nose piercing. However, they can be a bit confusing to put on. Here is how to do it:
1. Sanitation is key. Make sure everything is clean and free of germs that could cause infections.
2. The metal part that is supposed to be placed into the nose is l shaped. So, you need to make sure it is straight as you push it into your piercing.
3. Place a finger in your nose to act as a guide. Slowly, insert the part before the bend until you reach the other half.
4. Now you need to tilt the nose ring to the other bend that can go straight into your piercing. Use your finger to make sure that the previous part is now bent downwards. This will also act as a guard to prevent your nose ring from falling out.
5. Once the metal part is wholly inserted, adjust it until it looks like a regular nose ring. It will now stay in place with ease.
These nose rings may be sturdy, but they aren’t too difficult to take off. You just need to take it slow and be careful. This is crucial so that you don’t end up poking yourself or ending up with an uncomfortable nose ring.
