the nostril piercing is the most common form of a nose piercing (others include the septum and the bridge). the nostril can hold various kinds of jewelry: rings, studs, screws, and pins.the most common procedure for getting a nostril pierced is by using a surgical needle that is quickly pushed through the side of the nostril. the jewelry is then attached to the end of the needle and pulled into the nose. the piercer should use either a clamp or a recieving pole to control the needle.
a nostril piercing can take anywhere from a couple to six months to completely heal. it's very important to take care of the piercing during this time. it's VERY important that you do not play with the jewelry during this healing process. doing so can result in soreness and unsightly bumps called keloids. also, you should clean the piercing with saline solution or something recommended by the piercer.
by the way, make sure you do your research on the shop where you get this done. ask the piercer to show you the fresh needle as he takes it from the package and watch him clean the jewelry.
