The metals are bad for your piercing
You should always wear pure metals in your nose piercing to keep it from getting irritated or infected. A lot of costume or fashion earrings are made with silver-plated metals, which are terrible for your nose. Silver can oxidize and leave black marks on your skin.
Likewise, people ask, can I pierce my nose with a starter earring?
Make sure that your starter jewelry is large enough to accommodate swelling and light enough that it doesn’t pull at your new piercing. The standard size for a nose piercing is 18G or 20G, however, your piercer will pierce with a larger needle (up to 16G) to allow for better healing.
People also ask, what can I use as a temporary nose ring? But fortunately, it’s fairly easy to make a nose stud from traditional stud earrings.
- Gold or Silver Stud Earrings.
- Two Pairs of Needle-Nose Pliers.
- A Fine-Grain Metal File.
