Hi im looking for a the smallest hoop for nose there is.Which one is it?

22 gauge is the smallest size there is. At least according to everything I’ve ever read about nose hoops. (The smaller the number, the bigger the hoop. I know it’s confusing, but that’s how the sizes run.)

When you hit our homepage, there will be a link on the side that says “Submit”. Click that and it will take you to a page where you can submit a photo. Click on the tree icon, which will let you insert a photo. As far as feedback, I’ll just put a note on it & followers can make comments about it through our “submit” or “ask” boxes.

do you know if they sell any nose hoops where its just a straight back like a stud, instead of having to push into the hoop?

I think they might have some at places like Etsy.com, eBay.com & BodyCandy.com. If it’s not available at those webstores, I would just Google around and see. ;)

Any extra suggestions from followers are welcome here as well.

i got my nose pierced march 29 with a stud. i'm going away for ten weeks during the summer, and i would looove to have a hoop. so bad. i've heard that i should wait six months to get a hoop, but my friend switched to a hoop after two months and she had barely any irritation. it will be two months on may 29, what would you recommend i do? i haven't talked to my piercer yet.

I would recommend you wait and talk to your piercer first. Your friend’s nose isn’t your nose. You could have an entirely different response to switching from a stud to a hoop. As much as we also prefer hoops here & FYNR, health/safety is first. So contact your piercer ASAP and see what they say. Hoping you can get the hoop, but if you need to wait, wait. Depending on where you’re going away to for 10 weeks, maybe you can find a different piercer there that will reevaluate your nose a month from now and ok the hoop. And maybe not. You can always plan to see a piercer once a month to see if you can switch to a hoop.

how can i persuade my parents to allow me to get a nose piercing? i keep asking them, but they always say "we'll see". Also, where is the best place to get a nose piercing that wont likely be infected?

I think there is always a risk of infection with a nose piercing of any kind. It boils down to daily cleaning, keeping an eye on any unusual changes in and around the piercing, getting medical care when you feel it’s necessary, and knowing if/when you need to take the piercing out because it’s too infected.

As for persuading the parents… that might be difficult. But at least show them you’ve done the research (that is, if you have done the research; if not, then read up on it).

Example - This will sound really corny and weird, but it might work. I know of someone who wanted a tattoo, but their mom said they couldn’t get one unless they did a paper about tattoos (probably because they thought their kid wouldn’t do it). So they did. They wrote about the process of tattooing, about the meaning behind certain tattoos, and the meaning behind the ones they wanted. Surprisingly enough, the mom said yes, and she got her first tattoo with her mom’s approval.

Now, I’m not saying that will for sure work, but I do think that -however you go about doing it- showing you’ve seriously thought out your nose piercing might convince them that you are mature enough to get one. And one major plus— piercings aren’t permanent. You can always take it out if you don’t like it or get tired of it.  Remind them of that.

Otherwise, your best option is to wait until you’re 18.

My nose is pierced high up and I've been having a hard time finding a hoop that will fit. Any store recs? And it's been pierced for about 6 months now but it keeps getting infected/irritated. I clean it everyday and I've even been to the dr. for antibiotics. Nothing really seems to help :/ I mean, do you think it would even be worth keeping it in?

If it’s really, really bothering you (even with the antibiotics), I would suggest taking it out. You can always get it re-pierced later (though probably a little lower on your nose, if not just on the other side of your nose).

My other suggestion would be to maybe see a dermatologist (if you haven’t already), but this would only apply if the infections are happening on the outside of your nose. They might have some knowledge that a pro piercer wouldn’t.

As for finding a hoop that fits should you decide to keep your nose pierced, erm… I don’t know how well this would work or if it’s even a wise idea, but you might actually want to try using an earring instead of a nose hoop. A follower suggested this before, and it makes sense. Earrings come in a lot of different sizes, and so you’re more likely to find something that will fit your nose just right.

I had a captive ball hoop and it was the WORST to take out. now that my piercing is healed, I was wondering what the easiest hoops are out there to put in? any help would be so appreciated!!!

Because I’ve never had my nose pierced (as of yet), I don’t know which hoops would be best. Suggestions, guys?
