All about nose piercing for men

In the past, nose piercings were rare for both men and women in the Western world. Men had rigid standards of appearance, and even colors depended on gender.

Nowadays, the ideals of beauty in society are evolving, and nose piercing for men is neither taboo nor uncommon.

In other countries, men get their noses pierced for religious, tribal and cultural reasons. Males in some Australian Aboriginal tribes have septal piercings. The Bundi tribe in Papua New Guinea also uses this type of body modification. In the past, Aztec, Mayan, Egyptian, and Persian men also wore nose rings.

Today, septum piercing is a common practice for both men and women. Jewelry and piercings vary, and different styles are available depending on your aesthetic. With a range of different styles, you can choose a part that is not too obvious or one that makes a bold statement.

Whatever your preference, don't let being a man stop you from getting your nose pierced. You are not alone.

Should guys get nose piercings?

Gender should not determine what can and cannot be worn.

Nose rings are fashion accessories worn by male celebrities and influencers. Some stars who wear nose rings include Lenny Kravitz, Tupac Shakur, Justin Bieber, Travie McCoy and even legendary Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash. Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker also wears a nose ring, as does rapper Wiz Khalifa.

If you love the look of a nose ring and want to add some flair to your style, you can purchase magnetic nose rings to see how it looks before you make a purchase. If you like it, go ahead and schedule your piercing.

On which side do guys get their nose pierced?

In some cultures, such as India, women get their left nostril pierced. This preference stems from the belief that piercings strengthen the uterus and make it easier for a woman to give birth. However, in most other places it doesn't matter which side of your nose you get as long as you like the way it looks. Most people have a preference simply because they think a nose piercing looks best on one side of their face.

You can use photo editing software to see which jewelry looks best on the left or right nostril. Regardless of your piercing location is a personal decision. Your opinion matters the most when it comes to the site of a nose piercing.

What are the most common places to get your nose pierced?

One misconception about nose piercings is that there are only a few styles. Nose rings are as versatile as any piercing, and jewelry can adorn a surprising number of places. The most popular places for nose piercing:

Nostril:

The nostril is quite versatile and perfect for hoops, rings, bead rings, L-shape, nostril screws and nose bones.

High nostril:

This piercing is located at the top of the fleshy side of the nose and works with nasal bones, screws, studs, and L-shaped pins.

Partition:

This part is located between the left and right nostrils. The best jewelry styles for him are round barbell and beaded ring.

Bridge:

A bridge piercing does not require any bone or cartilage to be pierced and is a great option for men. The best styles for this include round bar and curved bar ornaments.

Vertical Tip:

Although not as popular as other options, vertical tips are unique and stylish and include a curved bar that runs from the tip of the nose to the base.

Lost:

This intricate style includes three points of penetration - both sides of the nostrils and the septum.

The location of the nose ring is up to you. Most of these styles have a standard healing time of three to six weeks and require little maintenance. We also recommend using unthreaded jewelry that fits your nose rather than plug-in jewelry that can sit loose.

What nose piercing jewelry should I wear?

The type of nose jewelry you choose depends on where your piercing is and the material you choose. For example, what looks good on the nose may not work well on the bridge or bridge of the nose. Always buy jewelry from a source you trust.

At Pierced, we only work with ethical brands that produce high quality jewelry such as Junipurr Jewelry, Buddha Jewelry Organics and BVLA. Whenever possible, we recommend 14 carat gold and above. Gold is less likely to cause infections or skin irritation, especially if it contains no impurities.
