Nose piercing can be done either on the nostril or the septum. The latter is the piercing of the skin which is between the two nostrils. There are two ways to get a nose piercing done either by a needle or by a stud gun. Both the processes are hygienic, safe and give due importance to sterilisation.
You can get a nose piercing done at any professional salon, jewellers’ store, or at body art shops, or piercing booths.
