the correct code to link to an image is
nosebone.jpg
which produces this;

You can get a list of vB code tags which this forum uses instead of HTML at http://specktra.net/misc.php?do=bbcode

As for what they're like to wear, I have no idea!

You need to check out stores that sell Indian jewelry. In India, the nose rings don't have a ball or stud; they'e just a think piece of wire that curtves like a cork screw and you just screw them in and out. No pain, no prob.

Good luck!

The L-bent rings are decent. For optimal fit, go to a piercer and get them to fit you. If you get an unbent screw, they'll custom bend it for you.

this is what they put in first when I got mine pierced:

it was a little painful, but the one you're looking at only has one curve, looks like it'll be nice and easy.

it shouldnt be painfull at all unless your nose is still healing in which case you should keep in the same jewlery that you have right now.

Also make shure that you properly sanitize and check what kind of metal they used to make the jewlery alot of the cheaper jewlery can cause infections esp with newer piercings.

Having a pierced nose, and then letting my D get hers done, has been a great learning experience for us both, particularly where jewelry is concerned. I've not seen the L-shaped jewelry you showed us, but don't know why it shouldn't work. Different nostrils have different requirements, though, I can tell you that. I use nostril screws only (the kind that curve around at the bottom, as shown in an earlier post in this thread), in 20g (the smallest available size), and only in 14K or 18K gold, surgical stainless steel or titanium. Not saying that this is all that will work, but these are my personal preferences. I found that my D can't wear screws, because they always rotate out and show at the bottom of her nostril (she'd always have someone tell her to wipe her nose because they thought she was booger-y

). So, we decided to try nostril bones, and they have been an absolute Godsend for her. Now that's all she wears. I have a couple of sites that I swear by for nostril jewelry that I will gladly share with you if you'd like. Just PM me.

(Oh, and be patient about changing out your jewelry, give it time. Nostril piercings can be finicky and take quite a while to heal. They'll get "mad" and flare up in a minute if you don't treat them with kidgloves.)

Yes, you can find retainers for 20g but it will probably take some looking. (I do know of a place online that has them in 18g, the next size up.) My D needed one for a job she had this past summer and I was able to find a 20g one at a local piercing/tattoo shop. It was a clear, acrylic bone with a tiny flat disc on top. At first I didn't believe that it was really going to look invisible in her nose but once she put it in you couldn't even tell she had a piercing!

Edited to add that an online search for "20 gauge nose retainers" yielded several sources.

I love the L shaped ones, its all I wore when I had my nostril pierced. I really hate the nose bones that have no curves at all (just a straight rod), as they fall out a lot. the nostril screws have a little c shape at the end...I find them a little difficult to get in, but once it's in, it won't fall out EVER.

If your piercing is still healing or tender at all, be warned about the L shaped jewelry. The 90 degree angle hurts like a bitch when you push it through the hole, so go fast

when i got mine pierced, i had the same style of jewelry as the one Katura posted. it was impossible for me to get it out, my boyfriend cut the top off with wire cutters and i pulled the top (the jewel part) off and took the rest out through the back.

i'm ALL about fishbone studs now (the ones that are just a straight stud with a little tiny ball sort of thing on the back)

i agree though, the if you're going to put an L shaped one in, wait until it's COMPLETELY healed and sterilize the jewelry, your hands, and the hole before putting it in to avoid infection. it'll probably irritate you a little since it's the first time you've changed your jewelry so do it as quick as possible and you may want to have some ice on hand, because sometimes when you change jewelry you can get a little bit of swelling, the ice will fix that up right quick
