Where on the Nose Do You Pierce?

Your nose can be pierced in different spots: The nares, the fleshy skin around your nostrils. The septum, the tougher cartilage between your nostrils. The soft flesh at the bottom of your septum below the cartilage.

Where is the correct spot to pierce your nose?

The placement of a nose stud, ring or hoop can be anywhere along the nostril. The most common positioning is through the curve of one of the nostrils (the crease of the 'wing' of the nostril). Many people come in with a particular idea of how they would like their nose piercing to look and which side they want pierced.

What side should a woman get her nose pierced on?

Right Side

While some say that men should only have their noses pierced on the right and women on the left (and sometimes the other way round depending on who's telling you), there is in fact no real reason to choose one side over the other – it's all down to preference.
