Nose Piercing
SEPTUM PIERCING [image] * Nose Piercing ~
Nose Piercing, is the Bᴏᴅʏ Pɪᴇʀᴄɪɴɢ of the skin or cartilage which forms any part of the Nose, normally for the purpose of wearing jewelry; among the different varieties of Nose Piercings, the Nostril Piercing is the most common.
Nose Piercing is one of the most common varieties of Bᴏᴅʏ Pɪᴇʀᴄɪɴɢ after Ear Piercing.
Nose Piercing is a Body Modification practice often associated with India, Pakistan, Nepal and throughout South Asia.
Nostril Piercing is also part of traditional Australian Aboriginal culture.
Nostril Piercing has in recent decades become popular in the industrialized nations, as have other forms of Bᴏᴅʏ Pɪᴇʀᴄɪɴɢ.
Afterwards, Punks and other subsequent youth cultures in the 1980s and 1990s adopted this sort of Body Modification.
Today, Nose Piercing is popular in the United States Of America, the UK, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia and Europe, with Nose Piercings being performed on either the left or right Nostril.
Both men and women have Nose Piercings, though they are much more common on women.
There are several different types of Nostril Rings.

* Nose Piercing In Society ~
In Genesis 24, Rebekah receives a Gold Nose Ring and two bracelets from the servant sent by Abraham.
Although occasionally seen earlier (the French actress Polaire arrived for her 1913 tour of America wearing a Seed-Pearl Ring in her left Nostril) it's only been in the last two decades that Nose Piercing has gained a mainstream popularity in Western culture.
Presently, it is the second most-popular Bᴏᴅʏ Pɪᴇʀᴄɪɴɢ desired by teens and young adults.
In 2007, a study by career publisher, Vault.com, surveyed nearly 500 employees from across the United States and 87% believed having piercings or tattoos would not reduce their chance of being hired.
"Regardless of who the real person may be, the stereotypes associated with piercings and tattoos are changing. In general, individuals with tattoos and Body Piercings are not being looked down upon as did in previous generations".
"I see more and more people with Body Piercings in business and everyday work settings. It's just a different generation", says another employer.
Another study was held by a Group of 20 sociology majors at Columbia University in 2001.
"Many people are used to the Nose Piercings, it is seen as a cultural icon in the Indian and African Communities", says student Jaleel Sanchez.
Nose Piercing is considered more acceptable than Eyebrow or Tongue Piercings.
"I personally do not judge my students or colleagues depending on their Facial Piercings. I would say 25% of the faculty here have Nose or Cartilage pierced. But, there are probably more at NYU or other liberal arts universities", says Holloway. Bᴇsᴛ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ Facebook ɪs: Iᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴜʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ᴋɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʜɪɢʜ sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ ʀᴇᴜɴɪᴏɴ ɪɴᴅᴜsᴛʀʏ · | ||

* Nostril Piercing ~
Nostril Piercing is a Bᴏᴅʏ Pɪᴇʀᴄɪɴɢ practice often associated with India, Pakistan, Nepal and throughout South Asia.
Nostril Piercing is also part of traditional Australian Aboriginal culture.

Both men and women have Nostril Piercings, though they are much more common on women.
There are several different types of Nostril Rings.
In India, the outside of the left Nostril is the preferred position of the Nostril Piercing as this is supposed to make childbirth easier. This is because Ayurvedic medicine associates this location with the female reproductive organs. In India, Nostril Piercings were regarded as a mark of beauty and social standing as well as a Hindu's Honor to Parvati, the goddess of marriage, a practice dating to the 16th century.
Nose Piercing is still popular in India.
In Maharastra, women wear very large Nose pieces that often cover the mouth or the side of the face.
It is common for Pashtun and Pahari women to have both Nostrils pierced.
Many South Indian Tamil also follow this tradition.
Many women from the Asian subcontinent are cremated with just their Nose studs as jewelry is removed before the funeral.
Indian widows usually remove their Nose studs as a sign of Respect. Bᴇsᴛ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ Facebook ɪs: Iᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴜʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ᴋɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʜɪɢʜ sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ ʀᴇᴜɴɪᴏɴ ɪɴᴅᴜsᴛʀʏ · | ||

* Septum Piercing ~
Septum Piercings are less common than Nostril Piercings.
The Nasal Septum is the Cartilaginous dividing wall between the Nostrils. Generally, the Cartilage itself is not pierced, but rather the small gap between the Cartilage and the bottom of the Nose (sometimes called the, "sweet spot") typically at 14gauge (1.6mm), although it is often stretched to a larger gauge.
The Nose has many nerves running through it and as a result, Nose Piercings can be painful, although it varies by individual.
Nose Piercings heals within a month and a half to three months, also depending on the individual.
There are many types of jewelry generally worn in a Septum Piercing including:
For large gauge Septum Piercings, many choose to wear plugs, as they do not weigh their Nose down, which is helpful in the healing process. This allows for the Nose Piercing not to be damaged by the sudden movement of the jewelry.
Bengali women traditionally would wear the "Nathori" as a sign of being a married woman.
Another option is a Septum Retainer, which is staple shaped.
Septum Piercing was a popular trend among South Indian dancers (Kuchipudi, Bharatnatyam) and among certain Native American peoples in history; the Shawnee leaders, Tecumseh and Tenskwatawa, for example, had such Nose Piercings. The Septum Piercing is popular in rural areas of India, Nepal and Bangladesh. In India it is called the "Nathori" and popular with the Banjara ethnic Groups and Adivasi Tribes.
Lord Krishna and his consort Radharani are often depicted wearing the "Nathori" style jeweled Nose Piercings. Bᴇsᴛ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ Facebook ɪs: Iᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴜʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ᴋɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʜɪɢʜ sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ ʀᴇᴜɴɪᴏɴ ɪɴᴅᴜsᴛʀʏ · | ||

* Bridge Piercing ~
Bridge Piercings are inserted through the small flap of skin at the top of the Nose, between the eyes, though never through the bone.
Curved barbells and straight barbells are the most commonly used in this Nose Piercing, while seamless rings are less common.
However, Bridge Piercings generally have a high rate of rejection, and thus are less common than any other Nose Piercing. Bᴇsᴛ ᴛʜɪɴɢ ᴀʙᴏᴜᴛ Facebook ɪs: Iᴛ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴜʟᴛɪᴍᴀᴛᴇʟʏ ᴋɪʟʟ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴛɪʀᴇ ʜɪɢʜ sᴄʜᴏᴏʟ ʀᴇᴜɴɪᴏɴ ɪɴᴅᴜsᴛʀʏ · | ||
