Having a nose ring that is too small can cause the jewelry to cut through the piercing hole as I mentioned above. That would leave you open to infection and scarring. The pressure could cause a piercing bump (localized infection or granuloma) to form. These are generally treatable but a pain in the butt.
Moreover, how do you know if your nose ring is too small?
Should my nose ring be tight? No, your nose ring should not fit tightly. If you feel pressure on your piercing after inserting your hoop, or you have a difficult time fully closing your nose hoop, then the inner diameter you‘re wearing is too small.
In this manner, how do you enlarge a nose piercing hole?
Simply wrap one layer (or more) of tape around the jewelry and re-insert it into the piercing. You will repeat this method over time, gradually adding more tape and thus increasing the size of the hole.
Is it normal for a nose piercing to sink in?
Too tight a fit: Many nose studs, especially those from the evil piercing guns, are very short and fit too tightly on the nostril. The initial swelling that follows a piercing can make them sink deeply into the nose, cutting off air to the healing piercing and making it impossible to clean properly.
Why can’t I spin my nose ring?
You can try to lubricate the jewelry and see if it will spin, but don’t force it. If you can’t get it to move, you should go back to the shop and see what they think.
How should a nose ring sit in your nose?
Check that it’s in properly.
You should be able to see the end of the L-shaped stud inside your nose. The end that is inside your nose should be pointing straight up or down, depending on your preference, and you shouldn’t be able to feel it. If you can feel it or its just uncomfortable, readjust it’s position.
