@1snotdoc: You pierced your nose. Now what? Here's what ENT surgeons actually think about it — infection risk, healing timeline, complications nobody talks about, and why WHO pierces you matters more than you think. → Cartilage has almost no blood supply → Your nose is the #1 place Staph aureus lives → Keloids are permanent even if you remove it → Wrong piercer = 10-30% infection rate → Cartilage infection can cause permanent deformity Don't let your friend do it. Professional piercer. Sterile technique. Surgical steel, titanium or gold. Now you NOSE. Follow for more. #ENT #piercing #piercings #BodyPiercing

My piercer doesn’t recommend “surgical” steel because I guess that term is unregulated outside of medical use. Titanium or gold only.

As a professional body piercer I really appreciate these kinds of videos. Some of the information is a little outdated though. I would love to discuss it further if you’re open to it.

I can’t do surgical steel or yellow gold because I’m sensitive to nickel. I have to use titanium or white gold. My piercings do so much better now.
