I didn't really know where to post this but anyway...
I got my nose pierced 4 weeks ago and I just wanted to ask about the jewelry for when I change the stud.
The one I have in now, the one I had it pierced with, is made of titanium and is quite big compared to ones I would like to wear. I went round loads of piercing places but all the titanium ones seem to be quite big.
I've bought a couple of nose studs which are sterling silver and I'd like to wear them but I know it's not as good quality as titanium. How long should I leave it before I can wear ones made of silver? Would it increase the risk of infection or something? I'd really like to change it before I go back to school in a couple of weeks as if I wear a smaller stud they'll be more tolerant of it.
Thanks -x :cool:

if it gets infected./ tough- its ya own fault
Nowadays in most good piercing places they only pierce noses with titanium or in some cases, surgical steel. They're just better quality, more expensive metals which are less likely to cause a reaction. You're meant to wear titanium for as long as possible but all the studs are so big and I want to change mine to a silver one!
does the butterfly go inside your nose, and if it does which i would imagine so, wouldnt it be awful if you dint put it on tight enough and you sneezed or someat like that and it went up ya nose. youd have to go to the docs and get it removed from ya nose
luv lou
Louise13 - it would be pretty difficult for it to go up your nose but it did happen to one girl, the stud on the outside fell off and she sniffed the bar up her nose which killed her... one in a zillion chance of it happening though..
