The nose is located in the center of your face, give or take an inch. Therefore, you can use it to create effects with the help of piercings. Double nose piercings are ideal for all face types. What matters is to find the perfect combination between them. For example, if you have an oval face, then you can wear one piercing in each nostril because symmetry doesn’t make your face look wider. In case your face is particularly long, wearing a septum piercing isn’t a good idea because it will only elongate it more. For those of you with round faces, piercing both nostrils isn’t the best thing you can do to flatter your construction. A septum piercing would be a better fit because it distracts attention from the sides. Square faces are best decorated with upper nostril piercings, that can be double nose piercings or simple ones. As for the heart and the diamond shapes, the rules apply like in case of the oval face, respectively the round face. Edginess isn’t a concern, but wideness is.
The pain factor
The pain you will feel when piercing your nostrils or septum will be different from, let’s say, an earlobe piercing. All the nerve endings from your nose are connected to your eyes. In addition, the tissue isn’t soft. It is made of skin and cartilage, that is harder to pierce than an earlobe. When the piercer will insert the needle, you will feel an intense pinch and your eyes will water. Don’t be embarrassed thinking people see you cry because tears are completely normal and involuntary. If one piercing hurts too bad, then leave the double nose piercings idea for another time. Piercing is supposed to be pleasant, so don’t push yourself. Most of the pain will be gone in a few seconds, but your nose will still ache. It will be red and sore for another couple of days, so don’t despair! As for the septum piercing, this one is easier to perforate. However, the pain is similar.
The cleaning routine
You need saline water, antibacterial soap, some q-tips and maybe cotton swabs. If you are a particularly busy person, then you should buy saline water rather than making your own because you might forget. Cleaning your nose piercings at least twice per day is essential if you don’t want to look after an infection. Redness and swelling aren’t signs of infection. They are just the way your body reacts to having a foreign object inside it. Eventually, your body will accept it and it will start healing. That’s why you need to put a non-allergenic material in that hole to make sure the healing process will not be delayed. Keep makeup away from your nose for 3 months until the pores close. You don’t want clutter inside because buildup will lead to infections.

Pay for professional services
How much is it to get your nose pierced? Double nose piercings will cost you twice as much and the prices for each might not be equal. Some piercing shops ask more for a septum piercing and less for a nostril piercing. Also, some of them have special offers like $5 less for the second piercing done in one sitting. The prices range between $30 and $80 with or without the initial jewelry included. If you think you can get a better price, you can bring your own nose stud or ring if all the requirements are met. By requirements I mean the right material, namely surgical steel, niobium, glass or pyrex, bio-flex or PTFE, and the right size. Paying for quality services is highly important. I had a piercer doing a nostril piercing the wrong way, meaning not a straight hole, but a diagonal one that didn’t heal and I had to take it out. So, don’t play with your health! Happy piercing!
