How To Put A Nose Piercing Back In
Putting in a nose piercing back in can be a daunting task. Do not worry, with the right tools and a little patience, it can be done easily. Here are the steps on how to put a nose piercing back in:
- Wash your hands and the piercing: Before handling your piercing, wash your hands with antibacterial soap and water. Clean the piercing with rubbing alcohol or a sterile saline solution.
- Lubricate the piercing and the post: Apply a small amount of petroleum jelly or piercing lubricant to the piercing and the post of the jewelry. This will help the piercing slide in more easily.
- Hold the piercing in place: Grip the piercing with a pair of tweezers or needle-nose pliers near the end of where the jewelry enters the skin. Position the post of the jewelry at the entrance of the piercing hole.
- Insert the post into the piercing: Slowly push the post into the piercing hole gently. Do not force it, as this could cause pain or damage the piercing.
- Secure the jewelry: Once the post is through the piercing, secure the jewelry by pushing the backing or ball onto the end of the post.
- Clean the piercing: After inserting the piercing, clean the area with a sterile saline solution or rubbing alcohol to prevent infection.
