Similarly, what do they use to pierce your nose?
Most body piercings are done using a needle, not a piercing gun. Piercing guns aren’t strong enough to properly pierce your nostril. If your piercer wants to pierce your nostril using a piercing gun, consider looking for another piercer or facility.
Moreover, can they pierce your nose with a hoop?
You can choose either a stud or a hoop as your initial jewelry, but the hoop will cause the piercing to heal with a slight curve, so it’s recommended that you start with a nose stud. You can always switch to a hoop later.
