If you’ve always wanted to try a hoop nose but aren’t sure how to put it in, this video and blog post will be helpful for you!
One of the reasons it is a little harder to put in some nose rings is because when you were pierced, the piercer used a needle, which is straight, and most nose rings (excluding the bone shaped ones) are curved. So let’s get started on how to put in a hoop nose ring!
Hoop nose rings are typically open on one side and the other side has a small ball on it. They may also be designed on the curve with stones, or some other type of design such as a heart, an elephant, or a star. If you’re unfamiliar with using this type of nose ring, you may be confused on how to insert it and have questions like, “What side do I put in my nose?” or “How do I hide the ball inside of my nose?” If you follow along, I’ll tell you how!
The first step is to open the nose ring, pulling it apart slowly and carefully, so that you can maintain the shape of the ring. This step is especially important if you’re using a gold nose ring, as gold is a softer metal than others such as stainless steel, which makes it more breakable.
The next step is to put in your nose ring! You’ll want to loop the hoop through the inside of your nose. I like to use a regular as a guide first, especially if I haven’t had a nose ring in for a while; this makes it easier to find the piercing hole and loop it through. After you loop the nose ring through, you need to twist the nose ring to even it back out.
The final step is getting the ball to sit more on the inside of your nose, which depends on the shape of your nose and where your nose is pierced. This is an easy step, you just need to adjust the placement and tightness of your nose ring. In the video, the ball of my nose ring was showing, so I had to tighten it on my nose so that the ball was sitting more on the inside of my nose.
So just like that, you’ve inserted your hoop nose ring!
