Ring or stud?

I’ve read and heard from several different places about which, a ring or screw/stud, is better to be pierced with for a nostril piercing.
I just wanted to know the pros and cons of each and if there is one that is better for the healing process.
thanks!
I only offer nostril screws of flatback labret barbells for initial nostril piercings. Rings in nostril piercings are too prone to being knocked around or turned through the piercing while it’s healing and the risk of irritation and inflammation is much higher.
If you would rather wear a ring in your nostril piercing, I would suggest having it pierced with a nostril screw or flatback barbell initially, waiting 12+ weeks and then switching it over to a ring after the piercing has healed and had sufficient time to stabalize. Be sure to tell your piercer before you have the piercing done if you plan to wear a ring in it eventually as it may need to be placed a bit differently to accomodate both jewelry types as per your anatomy.

I just read the comment on nose studs, I had my nose pierced about 5yrs. ago. Not knowing, because no one told me,I didn’t like the cork screw post because it was always sticking out of my nose, I went to the mall and purchased (you got it) a nose bone and you are right it hurts like heck trying to remove it I would like to know if with out having to repierce it is there any way i can stretch the hole by myself, and what gauge is the smallest I can use.
Thanks joanne
