Some high-quality, hypoallergenic materials such as 316l stainless steel, 14K gold, titanium, etc. which is OUFER uses for most of its jewelry are all void of allergies. Especially for the first puncture, titanium is the most suitable choice.

      3. Cosmetics, hair care products, hair dyes, irritating toothpaste, and other skincare products (may block perforations and cause bumps).

      4. Improper post-operative care (use of irritating chemicals, such as hydrogen peroxide, alcohol or ointment, such as neospore ointment, may cause allergies).

      5. Swimming with unhealed wounds (chlorine in the swimming pool and bacteria in the ocean and rivers can irritate).

      6. Dirty hands touch your nose piercing. Since the nose piercing just sticks to the easily accessible face, your jewelry will often be pulled or touched around. When you put on your shirt and touch the jewelry on your nose in the process, you might even accidentally touch it yourself.
