Nose Piercings

With such different jewellery types, it can get confusing how to measure them all.

Fear not! Below you can find a handy size guide that will show you exactly how all the different nose piercings are measured so that you don’t need to be unsure again.

Just click on the icons to get the measurement of that piercing.

1. Nose Screws

Push the end of the screw into the piercing, the twist it in the direction of the spiral as you push it in gently, so that the decorative end sits on the nostril.

2. Septum Piercing

Much the same, except it goes through the membrane in the nose. Be very gentle and make sure it is secure.

3. Nose Bone

Gently push this through as the end is thicker than the shaft of the piercing itself, and you don’t want to get hurt. This is the most straightforward though.

4. Segment/Seamless Ring

Using a special forceps, open the ring, insert it into the nose, then carefully clamp the ring closed again, being sure not to lose the ball.

5. Nose Stud

Insert the smaller, bent part of the stud gently into your nose piercing, then turn it inwards and gently push the rest in.

6. Open-Ended Ring

These are very simple, simply insert the thinner end into the piercing and twist it around until the open end is hidden in the nose.
