Before getting a nostril piercing, you should know that it requires proper aftercare to avoid infections. The healing process typically takes 2-3 months, during which you’ll need to clean the piercing twice daily with a saline solution. Choose a professional piercer who uses sterile equipment and high-quality jewelry to minimize risks. Be prepared for initial swelling or discomfort, and avoid touching the piercing with unclean hands. Lastly, consider any potential workplace or social restrictions before committing to it.
