About Nose Rings

Nose Rings come in many different styles, shapes, and sizes to suit the wide variety of nose piercings that are common including nostril piercings, septum piercings, and bridge piercings. Nostril Rings are often associated with Nepal and India where the nose ring is worn by females who are married. In India they pierce the left nostril and they believe this makes childbirth easier because Ayurvedic medicine associates this place on the nose with the female reproductive organs. In India body piercings and nose rings are regarded as beautiful and reprepsentative of a social standing and also as a Hindu's honor to the Goddess of marriage named "Parvathi" from the 1500's. Nose Rings are still very popular in India. Nose Rings are also popular in Middle Eastern and Arab countries. In recent decades, nose rings have become popular in the western culture along with other types of body piercings.

These days, punks and the sub culture of youths in the 1980s and 1990s have adopted nose piercings as their own sort of piercing. Nose Rings are popular in western culture all over the world, with nose piercings being placed on the left or right nostril. Nose Rings are worn by both men and women, although they are more common among women. There are many different kinds of nose rings. The most popular are the captive bead ring, the nose screw with gem, the nose bone stud with a small ball on the inside tip, and the nose stud flat back labret. More info>>
