How long before my nose piercing closes if i have had it done for a year?!? PLEASE HELP?

Question

i am a nursing student and will be doing clinicals...they wont allow nose rings during clinicals...ive had my nose pierced for a year now and i will be doing clinicals from 6:30am -3:30 pm on mondays and tuesdays....and i get a 20 min break in the mornings and a 30 min. lunch break in which i was planning to put in my nose ring and take it out when i go back in....do you think it will close up in those 9 hours? please help

Answer 1

Nose piercings can close surprisingly fast, even when healed, considering they are at a small gauge (anything below 12g). Once cartilage contracts it can be a pit painful to try to get the jewelry back in, but possible, if it's only been out for a day. It works differently for everyone. I suggest to experiment by removing the jewelry for an hour, then seeing how easily it goes back in. Then for 2, then 3, etc. If you'll have trouble getting it back in after say 3 hours, then you can wear a retainer in your nostril.

Answer 2

I don't have my nose pierced, but I would say that after a year, it should be healed. You might want to check with a studio that does piercings and see what the technician says.

Hope that helps!

Answer 3

no it wont, or at least in shouldn't do.

however with this piercing it is best not to take the ring out for long so buy a piercing retaining (can be found on ebay and through google) they are clear pieces of plastic that fit in the hole and can not be seen once in.

hope that helps.
