What are these l brackets for

[quickcluck]

Hi guys,

 

Thinking about having my nose done, but once healed want something teeny tiny in there, i've seen the Bioplast from here

They look very small and very comfy.

 

Has anyone tried these at all?

 

Thanks

Hi,

Yes,I used that sort of thing in my Tragus for a while,but it had healed by then.

Before that I had a screw-on clear plastic ball that just went onto the piercing,& was hard to see.

My youngest uses those clear nose thingys for school & they are very hard to see,and I think she had one put in as soon as she had her piercing done.

 

As you know,I was contemplating my nose being done & would have had to use a bio because of work,but have decided against it now anyhow.

thanks sarah..... I think you should reconsider

 

I'm going to chat to him today so will make a decision then.... the theory is never to old right?

Hiya,

 

I've got a 5 facial piercings - including my nose !

 

If you ask your piercer about getting it pierced with a 'keeper' they'll know what you mean and suggest jewellery accordingly. Generally though, good quality jewellery that is made to last comes in a larger gauge and means you can't necessarily achieve a glittery sparkle appearance, as this puts the piercing at risk of shrinking and closing

 

but you can still get some very nice, slightly more discreet jewellery! Bioplast is the same size as many standard nose studs - I prefer surgical steel or titanium though to be honest!They're just as teeny and just as comfy. Just my 2p there

 

Plastic is good for, as they suggest, hospital visits, or in my case when I was on excavations doing magnetometry surveys and wasn't allowed anything metal on my person in case it skewed the survey results!

Thanks for that. It's being done this arvo wasn't ready for that. With a smallish metal stud.

You're never too old! I had my tragus pierced (after seeing Cinnamon's example ) as part of my 50th birthday celebrations.

 

However, I recently bought a labret from that very site, with a metal stud and a bioplast backing. The suppliers are excellent, and the jewellery arrived really quickly - but as mentioned elsewhere, the bioplast post is very small. Fitting a labret stud into a teeny, tiny plastic tube with some force, on a part of the body (tragus) that you can't see well in the mirror is not easy! They are still residing in my jewellery box. It might be easier on a nose piercing, or maybe you could get a friend to help.

Better to get it over and done with you'll be fine!

Well. The deed is done! It's a tiny diamond. Much smaller than the usual stud so a little bleeding. But stopped really quickly! At least I won't have to worry about changing it so soon. Will get a bioplast one tho as they look quite flat!

Photos.....we need photos!

 

Did it hurt?

Cinnamon,

 

I got my nose pierced, and I'm too wussy to get my tragus or any cartilage part of my ear pierced! (The healing and soreness puts me off more than the initial piercing).

 

 

[Cinnamon]

My Tragus was barely sore at all,& the piercing I didn't even feel

Maybe I'll take the plunge when I get paid then!

I have a bioflex nose stud just like the ones you linked to. Originally it was pierced with a smallish ear-piercing type stud which was straight and didn't have a butterfly. I couldn't get on with any of the metal screw type nose studs that I wanted, I just couldn't get them to go in. I don't have a problem with the bioflex one, I chose one which was as clear as possible and I have a rarely used retainer too.

That will be because you were pierced with the wrong kind of jewellery - also the first time you take out and change your jewellery it should smart a little bit, make your eyes water, it'll have healed a bit tight around the jewellery. You should never be pierced with a thin straight post on your nose.
