How Do You Put on a Gold Nose Ring? (Step-by-Step Guide)

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of inserting different types of gold nose rings, along with tips for safety, hygiene, and a secure fit.

Step 1: Wash Your Hands & Nose Area

Before handling your nose ring, always wash your hands with antibacterial soap. Clean your nose piercing with saline solution or a gentle cleanser to prevent infections.

Step 2: Choose the Right Type of Gold Nose Ring

There are different styles of nose rings, each requiring a slightly different technique to put on:

1. Gold Nose Stud (L-Shaped or Straight)
2. Gold Nose Screw
3. Gold Nose Hoop (Seamless, Captive Bead, or Hinged)
4. Gold Nose Bone

Step 3: How to Put on Different Types of Gold Nose Rings

1. How to Insert a Gold Nose Stud (L-Shaped or Straight Pin)

• ✔ Hold the stud by the decorative end.
• ✔ Gently insert the thin end into the piercing hole.
• ✔ If it’s L-shaped, twist it slightly to align with your nostril.
• ✔ Push until the stud sits comfortably inside your piercing.

Tip: If you experience resistance, don’t force it! Use gentle circular motions to find the right angle.

2. How to Insert a Gold Nose Screw

Gold nose screws have a curved shape that requires a specific twisting motion:

• ✔ Hold the end of the screw between your fingers.
• ✔ Insert the tip into your piercing hole.
• ✔ Slowly twist the screw in the same direction as its curve.
• ✔ Continue twisting until it sits comfortably in your nose.

Tip: If it feels stuck, back it out slightly and retry. Twisting it forcefully can cause irritation.

3. How to Insert a Gold Nose Hoop

Different nose hoops require different techniques:

• ✔ Seamless Hoops: Gently twist the ends sideways (not apart), insert one end into the piercing, then twist it back into place.
• ✔ Captive Bead Ring: Open the hoop by removing the bead, insert it through your piercing, and reattach the bead.
• ✔ Hinged Hoop: Open the hinge, slide the hoop into the piercing, and snap it shut.

Tip: Nose hoops require careful handling to avoid misshaping the ring.

4. How to Insert a Gold Nose Bone

Nose bones have a small ball at the end, making them tricky to insert.

• ✔ Hold the nose bone by the decorative end.
• ✔ Slowly push it into your piercing hole.
• ✔ Apply gentle pressure until the ball slips inside.

Tip: If it doesn’t go in easily, consider using a thinner gauge nose bone.

Step 4: Check for Comfort & Secure Fit

• ✔ Ensure the nose ring sits comfortably without excessive movement.
• ✔ If it feels loose, check if it's the correct size.
• ✔ If it feels too tight, switch to a slightly larger gauge or softer material.

Step 5: Aftercare & Maintenance

• 🔹 Clean your nose ring regularly with warm water and mild soap.
• 🔹 Avoid touching or twisting the ring too often.
• 🔹 Remove your nose ring carefully if needed, especially before sleeping or swimming.
• 🔹 If irritation occurs, switch to a hypoallergenic gold type (e.g., 14k or 18k gold).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Forcing the ring if it doesn’t slide in smoothly.
• ❌ Using dirty hands or inserting it without cleaning the piercing.
• ❌ Choosing cheap, gold-plated jewelry that can cause allergies.
• ❌ Leaving a fresh piercing empty for too long, which may cause it to close.
