Your Comprehensive Guide to Nose Screw Piercings

A nose screw is a type of nose jewelry that gets its name because of its hooked shape. Nose screws come in many different thicknesses, lengths, and designs.

Nose screws are a trendy choice when it comes to nostril piercings. But you can also choose nose studs, rings, and horseshoes. It’s all a matter of personal taste and style.

Why should I choose a nose screw over a nose stud?

Besides their shape, there are a few differences between a nose screw and a nose stud:

• Nose studs contain small knobs at the end, which are thicker than the rod itself. This knob prevents the jewelry from falling out. Because the knob is thicker than the rod, you may experience pain when switching jewelry, however.
• If you get hit on the nose, the rod can cause damage to the inside of your nose. Of course, a nose screw will also hit the wall of your nose, but because of its shape, it won't do as much damage.
• Last but not least, nose screws won’t fall out as easily as a nose stud.

Where else can I use a nose screw?

You can also use nose screws on your ear piercings.

It is particularly suitable for a tragus piercing, as the length of tragus jewelry and nose jewelry is fairly similar.

The advantage of this jewelry worn in the ear is that the curve of the nose screw does not take up much space and is therefore very discreet.
