My Nostril Piercings Are Uneven AGAIN

  • After almost 2 years of trying to get my nostril repierced, I finally got it done back in October 2023. At first, I couldn't tell they were uneven...until I changed the jewelry in both nostril piercings to be the same jewelry. It was quite apparent then. So...what now?

    Remember no one has perfect symmetry. You can do the hoop and the stud or you can add a 3rd piercing to one side to help with the balance.

  • @valliedollx
    @valliedollx 5 місяців тому +66

    Leave them, put a hoop and a stud in and then also get high nostril piercings and wear a chain on there.

    • @seashell_aphrodite
      @seashell_aphrodite 5 місяців тому

      I have the same problem. My 2 nostril piercing are not even. Redid one of them a second time. Still uneven. So I want 2 high nostrils, that hopefully will be even 🎉

  • @FloandTaewi
    @FloandTaewi 5 місяців тому +46

    Hey Gretchen! I would have taken out the newest one because I think it sits too low on your nose and repierce it at another shop 😊

  • @aylasaurus
    @aylasaurus 5 місяців тому +14

    I think if it were me, I'd weigh out the pros and cons on the nose chain -- if I was reeeally really really set on the look and really wanted to wear it, I think I would take out the one that hasn't been taken out yet, let it heal over, and go for #2 on that side, just to avoid more scar tissue on the already double pierced side. I think the biggest question I'd have to ask myself would be even if I love the chain, how long I think I'd wear it for bc I am terrible with change and if I thought I would realistically only wear the chain a few times, I probably wouldn't go through the hassle. I also personally really love the one stud one hoop look!

  • @loganr9761
    @loganr9761 5 місяців тому +9

    I do like the look with a hoop in one side and a stud in the other but i also think its really cute when people have 2 piercings on the same side

  • @mariska.naomii
    @mariska.naomii 5 місяців тому +14

    I would take the bad one out, go to a different shop and ask them to place the piercing almost on the spot of the first time you got it done. I like the placement of the one you wore the hoop in way better than the current placement of the new one. I went to an APP piercer for getting my nostril re-pierced. I hope there's one relatively close to where you live. Is Lynn Loheide nearby by any chance? They are a fantastic piercer. I feel so sorry for this horrible experience once again❤

  • @brittanieanne_92
    @brittanieanne_92 5 місяців тому +10

    I commented way back when you asked in a video if you should get one re-pierced or not, but I’ll say it again 🤣 mine are uneven but I’ve learned to deal with it lol. I always wanted to do hoops in both, or two studs and a chain, but the angle is different. I didn’t want to deal with the healing process again, so a stud in one side and a hoop in the other has become my look 😂 I still love them regardless. You’re not alone!!!

    • @valliedollx
      @valliedollx 5 місяців тому +1

      Right! Mine look fine as long as I have two studs in or a stud and a hoop, but because of the angle that they were pierced at, two hoops always looks WAY off!

  • @deathralevan6848
    @deathralevan6848 5 місяців тому +20

    i would re-pierce for the third time, i feel like the new nostril is weirdly placed

  • @corylouwho
    @corylouwho 5 місяців тому +7

    Oh man I’m so sorry it happened again, I don’t blame you I would cry too! At the very least I would keep the good side that you like most (the left one that has only been pierced once, I think that placement looks best too). Then I think I would take out the uneven, re-done side to let close and consider re-piercing later on.

  • @michelleneumann2413
    @michelleneumann2413 5 місяців тому +3

    The anatomy is the way it is. Don't worry about them not being even. No one is symmetrical. You look nice. Don't sweat it.

  • @thechaospope
    @thechaospope 5 місяців тому +4

    At a glance, I don't see an issue with the current stud and hoop setup. It looks pretty good. When you put in the second stud on the left side it made the placement issue on the right WAY more obvious. I think that you're right and the original right piercing spot was a better location. I would talk with a piercer who is experienced with nostril piercings/chain setups and get their opinion; whether this is piercer A, B or C (new piercer) is kinda up to you but based on the placement of the right, I would avoid going back to B.

  • @mischiemis1998
    @mischiemis1998 5 місяців тому +5

    if i were in your position i’d embrace the assymetry! Maybe consider adding a 2nd nostril piercing to one side if your anatomy allows? but a hoop and a stud is not a bad look either!

  • @bogfroganer
    @bogfroganer 3 місяці тому +2

    maybe u could try unusual shapes (triangles squares stars w/e) on the studs or just big studs or big gems to make up for the uneven space? to trick the perception basically. i do this with my multiple ear piercings cuz they're uneven. or repierce the higher one like u suggested. hoop stud combo would be the play if u wanna leave them alone

  • @lulib6372
    @lulib6372 5 місяців тому +2

    I was told recently when I went for my septum piercing, that it is almost impossible to get a second nostril that matches the one I already have if I were to want one. I think it is because of the time you have had the original, and the way your body heals each one very differently. At a guess I would say that trying to get them to match when they are healing with different jewellery at a different time, might always produce an unreliable result. There is also scar tissue in your nose now, which could effect things. Perhaps taking both out and getting two at once might work, or a double on one side single on the other keeping the one you like, it really depends on how many holes you are prepared to have in your nose. You could get rid of the one you don't like, keep the one you do, and get two differently placed nostrils for the chain.

  • @ursulaking4411
    @ursulaking4411 5 місяців тому +2

    I would keep one stud and one hoop, I think it looks great!

  • @stephaniemariewitherell7582
    @stephaniemariewitherell7582 5 місяців тому +2

    I like the placement of the left nostril the best 👌 But I might be biased, because my nostril piercing is also a little higher and morw inward 😊

  • @jojo1234a
    @jojo1234a 6 днів тому

    I don’t know if the screen is flipped or how things are orientated once uploaded to UA-cam. But personally I think that the placement of the right side nostril is better (the right side as in me looking directly at my screen, you would need to figure which one that correlates to in real life). I think the left side sits a little odd, like it doesn’t sit flat and so the jewellery doesn’t look flush to the skin. However, this is purely my opinion as you asked for it. Most importantly, do what makes you happy, it’s your body and your life. But as for my opinion as someone moderately to heavily pierced, I prefer the right. I left another comment explaining my own struggle with the very same issue, and for me the only way it got fixed way by adding high nostrils, somehow and I don’t know how, it made everything look totally even. If I take my high nostrils out for a day, my normal nostril piercings look totally out of whack again, it’s so weird.

  • @EthanAlexander91
    @EthanAlexander91 5 місяців тому +2

    Take pictures of your face (front and side profile) and mark EXACTLY where you want either side re-pierced in relation to the naked hole on the other side. Or you could even use a pair of $10 digital calipers to get the height and depth just right too, down to the millimeter. That way you can be certain of correct placement even if the jewelry styles are different. Then when you’re at the piercer, keep the other side naked and have them mark the healed piercing spot as well as the new spot you’re getting pierced in. Compare to your pictures or measurements and don’t be afraid to take a couple tries at getting it right!

  • @Livingded_grL
    @Livingded_grL 5 місяців тому +3

    3rd times the charm !!! i’ve had my right nostril pierced 3 times because of this exact reason, not being able to line them up “perfectly” how I want. if you give your nostril sufficient time to heal, it’ll close up that old piercing channel the longer you wait to get it repierced. also tip is wear a stud when you plan on getting the other side pierced if you aren’t already, hoops pull on your nose and sit differently so since it’s getting pierced with a stud, I find it lines up better in my experience !!! I also have a nose chain + high nostrils and I just think I was super fortunate because I never got any bumps or had problems with my high nostrils which I hear are notorious for being stubborn. either was it’s so worth it and you’d look so bad ass ! 🫶🏻

  • @thejupiterianalien
    @thejupiterianalien 3 місяці тому

    The right placement looks better for studs and the left placement looks better for hoops but that's just my opinion. If you prefer the left, that's the better position for you since it's your body. While piercings are never the symmetrical, if it's right in the middle of your face and it does bother you, you're allowed to want it to look the way you want it to look.
    Should you give it one more shot, make sure you take your sweet time to ensure that the marking for the new hole is okay with you, you can even mark it before visiting the piercer or ask other people to look at the placement for you as well.

  • @aqua-mina
    @aqua-mina 3 місяці тому +2

    Leave it as is, put the chain in. You’ll look lovely. I like the quote behind you that says “consistency over perfection”, that’s your answer ❤

  • @annahugman8412
    @annahugman8412 5 місяців тому +2

    I’ve had this happen too, I have a double nose piercing on my right side that is perfect, and tried to match the left side, and I could never get them completely even. My left nostril has been pierced 4 times now. My 4 nose piercings aren’t perfect (no disrespect to the piercer) but I have still chosen to accept them, they are all the same height, but my left 2 are further forward. I completely understand where you’re coming from with this video

  • @amandatucker1712
    @amandatucker1712 5 місяців тому +2

    What about a double on one side? May be able to do a chain that way. If you don’t like it you can always do the high nostrils and do the chain that way as well. Just make sure they are even. I’m also wondering why your nostril got pierced lower if it was already uneven the first time. I also don’t know if ppl have over done a chain from the septum to a nostril Peircing. I have no idea if it would look bad doing it that way though.

  • @tinadaniela
    @tinadaniela 29 днів тому

    Yep, hoop in one, stud in the other. I couldnt tell. You're gorgeous! Much love x ❤

  • @kathrinschlinkert
    @kathrinschlinkert 5 місяців тому +1

    I am sorry that it didn't work out as you wanted! I love the look that you have now. One hoop and one stud 😊 If you really want the chain, I would give it a third try.

  • @nishapan1376
    @nishapan1376 5 місяців тому +1

    If you like the placement of the left one, keep it! Also, what about taking out the right one and having an asymmetrical look? My nostril piercing seems a bit higher to the point that I don't know if a hoop will look good in mine, but it doesn't really matter because I plan to get my septum pierced and I don't want to wear a nostril hoop with it. Ultimately though, you do what you think is best, don't let the internet sway you.

  • @lesley3985
    @lesley3985 4 місяці тому

    I think you should draw a central line down the middle of your face / nose and then a horizontal line from the line down to your favoured nose piercing, (so your left) then measure the distance, and copy this across to your other side symmetrically like a mirror image, then mark where a new hole should be made. Then you can have a good look that you are happy and the placement is correct . You look to me like you have a very even straight nose so it should work. Then once you know you can remove it all but the little cross and get them to do it there! Hope this makes sense. Third time lucky 🤞🏻

  • @janegarry6998
    @janegarry6998 5 місяців тому

    I’m so sorry this happened!! Maybe get high nostrils and connect them with a chain! I love the chain look too, so I understand how you want both sides pierced. Also, I just have to say your eye makeup is totally gorgeous!

  • @maris2559
    @maris2559 5 місяців тому

    Last year I got my second nostril pierced and when the piercer had me look at placement, I suggested it be moved just a little bit. She called in the other piercer and he swore it was perfectly placed. They know what they’re talking about, right? So I said ok and went with it. They are absolutely uneven. I’ve decided to just deal with it, and keep hoops in. I think you should do what feels right but honestly, if you keep the stud in one side and a hoop in the other, you can’t really tell! I’d hate to see you take both out. But you gotta do what you gotta do!🖤

  • @Izanamiiiii
    @Izanamiiiii 5 місяців тому +1

    It actually sometimes is hard to pierce them exactly symmetrical! I had one nose piercing, wanted one on the other side, was not exactly symmetrical so i got another one next to it (so 3 nostrils) and that one was much better aligned with the other side. BUUUUT the piercer had to repierce it 3 times in the same sitting because every time the jewellery was in, it didn’t look as symmetrical as the marking earlier. Eventually I settled with the 3rd one and I love it! So I have 2 on one side and 1 on the other side.

  • @Nooorrriii
    @Nooorrriii 5 місяців тому +1

    If you get it reported go to a piercer known got high nostrils/paired nostril, like for example Lynn Loheide (they’re in Seattle but they used to be in Nashville). It’s not about being in line by the jewelry your nose is probably not symmetrical and they need to make sure looks even

  • @josephwillis8436
    @josephwillis8436 5 місяців тому +1

    My thoughts are maybe you need to take out both and start over. Then you can get them done at a new shop at the same time. Also you may have to research shops and see if they have experience with this type of issue. Hope this helps!

  • @diannamichalidas9014
    @diannamichalidas9014 5 місяців тому +2

    If you really want the nose chain, get it re-pierced using the original hole. OR say the heck with it and wear a hope on the one side and a stud on the other.

  • @katc3730
    @katc3730 5 місяців тому +1

    I think you should just keep the stud and ring, you don’t really notice it that way.
    If you were to only keep one…I’d keep the one you are currently wearing the ring in. I prefer the placement of that one.
    Both my helix piercings on either side are uneven I’m in a similar predicament. I’m too tired to care about it now, most days.

  • @cappuccinocrafts2412
    @cappuccinocrafts2412 5 місяців тому +1

    I do think you rock the hoop in one and stud in the other. They don't seem uneven that way. But it would limit your options for jewelry looks. That might get annoying in time. But you don't have to rush a decision. You have time to live with it and think about it. You can keep it for a while as is and anytime later decide you are ready to retire one and go for repiercing one side for symetry and wearing the chain.

  • @carrieannemichelle3195
    @carrieannemichelle3195 5 місяців тому

    I can understand your feelings. My second piercing in my right ear is a little high than my left second piercing. I would personally leave them. If it really does bother you I'm going to go talk to a piercer.

  • @vickywalker6396
    @vickywalker6396 5 місяців тому

    If I were you I would take out the new one, let it heal and re pierce it. I have had my left nostril done 3 times now but I am happy with the placement and it looks symmetrical with my right one. If you do get it redone I would take out the one you are keeping at the appointment so they can line the holes up exactly, the hoop always makes it look lower than it is. Good luck, hope you get it sorted x

  • @DareToDazzle_Salon
    @DareToDazzle_Salon 5 місяців тому +2

    BROOOO! I'm in the SAME boat as you. I got BOTH of mine done at the same time, and I noticed the next day that they were uneven if I stared long enough, I decided it was because of swelling. Nope. They were uneven, not super noticeable unless you stared at my nose (I'm a nail tech, so clients are CONSTANTLY looking at my nose while I work, so it REALLY bothers me 😅). So, after a little over a year, I took the right nostril out and got it repierced at a different shop about 5 months later. BUT THEY'RE STILL UNEVEN. They repierced it in almost the exact same spot as the original piercing. Now, over a year later, I'm coming to the conclusion that I need to take the right nostril out AGAIN and get it done for a 3rd time, but be VERY uptight about placement. 😂😂
    I can forget about it for a short period, but I always come back to obsessing over it. I can't live like this 😂 I got them both done because I love the way it looks, but I also can't have just one side done, because then my face is asymmetrical. 😂
    So, personally, I'm going to redo my right one for the 3rd time, even though its not super noticable, and if I were you, I would try again. 😩 Obviously, it's your decision, and you're still GORGEOUS regardless, but I would not be okay with how they repierced it.
    Sorry for the long story. 😂😂

  • @denisjimenez3658
    @denisjimenez3658 5 місяців тому +1

    Hi Gretchen! Hope this helps but if i were you and the unevenness really bothered me i would take the left one out(right one on my screen) and get it redone (or just keep the one nostril) as i think it has a better placement. Another option is to just have the septum and philtrum piercings and fuck the nostrils as i think it would look good too. Regardless of what you do youll look beautiful anyways. Love your videos!

  • @africandawn
    @africandawn 5 місяців тому +1

    I would either go plan A- leave them as is and do one hoop one stud so it’s not so obvious?
    Plan B take out the re pierced one because I agree with you your right piercing looks more pleasing and nicer placement, the re pierced one looks out of place more so than the original one. Then get it re done somewhere new?

  • @laurenvcouto
    @laurenvcouto 5 місяців тому +1

    I would take the new one out, wait a few months and get it repierced at the old spot lol I think the old spot was symmetrical but because our faces aren’t really symmetrical it just gave the impression that it was crooked

  • @frogs9468
    @frogs9468 2 місяці тому

    The best thing to do would be to remove the piercing again and get it redone. BUTTT, put a stud in the one that you like better (which would be the left) so they have a better time of lining them up!
    OR take both out and get them redone at the same time.

  • @Renenutet11779
    @Renenutet11779 5 місяців тому

    The stud and hoop combo is very beautiful on your face. I'm sorry it's not how you would like it. Maybe they need to use calipers to measure if you do it again.

  • @nickiebledsoe6302
    @nickiebledsoe6302 5 місяців тому +1

    I think you should keep the new one and redo the one with the hoop to match your new one and here's why in my opinion I think wearing a chain would look better lined up with your new piercing or just keep them both and wear hoops in one and stud in the other because your right really.vant tell that they are uneven. In my opinion still looks good like they currently are with the stud and hoop but also look good with a chain. Best of luck with your decision girl! 🙂🙂🙂💖

  • @fluffykitten992

  • @paulpham7806
    @paulpham7806 5 місяців тому +1

    The hoop sits differently from the stud, you probably should have gone (or should go) to do the right one with a stud in the left one.

  • @saralyons1808
    @saralyons1808 5 місяців тому +1

    I think the stud is cute with the hoop. Maybe keep the stud? The scar tissue will probably keep it from being completely even.

  • @kristymarie1594
    @kristymarie1594 5 місяців тому +2

    Double hoop it if it looks better.. if not stud in one and hoop in the other how it was already. I hate getting repierced, Its annoying .. 😅 but if you really feel like you want to just go for it but dont let them pierce it until the dot matches as closely as possible to the other side. When i got a double nose piercing the lady used a tooth pick to match up the sides.. maybe that could help

  • @annanimity2034
    @annanimity2034 5 місяців тому +1

    I would go to another shop and do the other side instead and line it up. I never had this happen before I'm confused too. I keep studs in my nose, i dont do rings bc the piercing migrates a bit i feel like.

  • @elizabethcorsini5499
    @elizabethcorsini5499 5 місяців тому +1

    I would take out the right nostril stud and let it close. I think most people think their bodies are symmetrical, and they are not.
    I really like the small hoop in your left nostril, it’s very pretty.

  • @moosh333
    @moosh333 2 місяці тому

    hey girl ❤ I would say to leave them. If I were you, I would probably go to a different shop and get the lower one pierced AGAIN ONE MORE TIME. And literally leave if they can't get the markings to look good to you. And if that third time doesn't work, high nostrils would be really cute. And get those done at a different shop too. It could honestly be your anatomy like you said, like maybe your nose isn't symmetrical, but it's not THAT drastic. Don't feel bad about crying, I would too.

  • @moonchild2855
    @moonchild2855 5 місяців тому +1

    Make sure to check if the new piercing even sits right with a hoop. And either way honestly i would take it out and pierce it again Definetely in another shop (to make it easier for the piercer- this should not be a case, but here we go- replace a hoop with a stud for piercing day)

  • @deadgirl82
    @deadgirl82 5 місяців тому +2

    Here’s the thing-what is symmetrical to the face & what is symmetrical to the eye can be two different things, as our faces aren’t 100% symmetrical. If you do decide to go back and have one last crack at it, tell them that you want it to be symmetrical to the eye.
    Another thing with nostril piercings is that they can also look off if they’re pierced at two different angles. Also, most ppl don’t hold their heads 100% straight, naturally, which can affect how they look, so that’s something else to take into consideration…
    I have both of mine done, made sure my piercer knew to make sure they LOOKED symmetrical, even if they were off slightly & mine are great.

  • @laurenvcouto
    @laurenvcouto 5 місяців тому +1

    Honestly, I probably wouldn’t notice if you hadn’t pointed it out, but now that I really pay attention, you’re right, the one that you use a hoop in sits better on your nose than the stud, but could this be because of our naturally asymmetrical face?

  • @thesimplefarmgirl

  • @EskiPenguin
    @EskiPenguin 5 місяців тому +1

    THIS IS MY EXACT FEAR AND WHY I STILL ONLY HAVE MY ONE NOSTRIL DONE... 😭
    BUT were it me: I would keep them both as they are now -and maybe this is too much- BUT I would do another on both sides. Put a stud in your original one, don't go in with a hoop IMO (I'm thinking maybe they can gauge where the original holes are better then??) Then definitely go to a different piercer and show 'em your current ones with studs in and explain you want another on your right side to put a chain across to your left one and then down the line maybe another behind your original left one just to even the whole look out!

  • @LindaPie
    @LindaPie 5 місяців тому +1

    I think it's worth it to try and redo but go to a different shop this time. I was so worried about this when I was going for both nostrils look so I just had them both pierced at the same time which i know isnt something that makes sense for you. But imagine my surprise when my piercer pulled out a caliper and straight up measured my nose a dozen times. They got them perfectly even! Idk if it would be bad form to ask a piercer if that's something they do to get even piercings when it comes to nostrils maybe? Worth a shot I think!

    I just got my left nostril pierced today after almost a year having my right nostril pierced. It appears uneven; (my piercer said it’s most likely due to swelling). I switched my right jewelry to a hoop. I personally like the look of a hoop and a stud. I think you should keep the double nostril look and have a stud and a hoop ◡̈

    I agree with others, you'd look great with high nostrils, but, that will draw more attention to the assemetry of the lower pair. I feel your newest one is too low. Go with the piercer with most experience.

    I think the hoop and the stud look very slay together, that look really suits you. You could get your high nostrils done and wear a chain cos that would look really cool.

    If you decide to get it repierced I recommend Salem at sinner g tattoo in Richmond. She was really great when I was having the same issue with mine not being even after I go them done somewhere else. She took her time with the placement and had be check it a bunch and told me if I didn’t like the placement she would redo it. Also since the one you don’t like is fresher it should close faster.

    I'd get high nostrils above these with a nose chain then MAYBE if still unhappy with this stud/hoop combo would re-re-pierce the stud side. Wear a small stud on the hoop side to the appointment to confirm symmetrical placement. Find an APP piercer near you!

    Okay for me, I went twice to get mine even. I think it’s totally fine to go a third time but you can’t just let them place it and pierce it you have to look at it and ask them can u move it up or down or to the side, even if they’re like “r u sure?” Because u can only see where it truly needs to be!

    I don't think the scar tissue would be a problem because it will not all be in the same spot. But it depends on how visible the scars are to you and if that would bother you. With the camera and make up, we don't see the scars and you will be looking at them. I understand not wanting more scars and that is fine to say you are not going to make more scars on your face. It is your face.

  • @valliedollx
    @valliedollx 5 місяців тому +1

    Also, maybe it would help them to line up better if you took out your septum just for the appointment and wore the smallest stud possible in the good side and maybe wear your glasses? They would probably have you remove your glasses, but they could use them as a guide, maybe??

  • @jojo1234a

    The only way I could find symmetry with my nostril piercings is by getting high nostril piercings in addition to my normal ones. I don’t know how or why, but it evened them out. I don’t understand it, but I’ll take it, as I tried so many times to let one close and re pierce etc etc. I wear a chain over my high nostrils sometimes, and even then everything still looks even. If I take out my high nostrils and wear my normal nostrils for a day, they look uneven as heck lol!

  • @catc7798
    @catc7798 5 місяців тому +1

    Can you put jewelry in the original hole after taking a nice warm bath maybe with some oil or lube or something? I left an ear cartilage piercing out for like 2 yrs bc it was pissed off and when I got back into piercings was able to slowly wiggle jewelry back in after a warm bath. Also I like the high nostril idea. Def keep one on both sides

  • @pkropka
    @pkropka 5 місяців тому +1

    I would take both out (or just the bad one) and go for high nostrils with a chain.
    Also I would go get my money back, the placement of the new one is just bad. I'm sorry.

  • @daisydee6525
    @daisydee6525 Місяць тому

    Mine are a little off too, I just wear a stud in one and a hoop in the other. I’ve had them redone several times, but my nose is simply different on each side and they’ll never be perfectly even for that reason, but it’s not noticeable with the hoop and stud mix.

  • @rarevirgox

  • @angko-pe
    @angko-pe 5 місяців тому +1

    First of all, I would go back and complain and demand my money back since they messed up the placement of the new piercing, then I would take out the new one and just leave the one in that you like.
    I feel like the new one sits too close to the edge of the nostril.

  • @user-fg9kp5tl8i

    If you are that invested in a nose chain.....you can use a nose chain with a hoop on one side AND a stud on the other if you want. See if you can have one made for you or make one yourself with a stud and a hoop before you go punching more holes. C'mon girl. You're original. See if you like it.
    If you decide you want to try for a straighter look: Did you get it pierced with a stud, or did you have the hoop in when they were lining it up? If you're going to try for a straighter look - buy TWO of whatever studs you are going to pierce with. Put the stud in the piercing you want to keep and have them pierce the other one with the same stud. If you can take out all of the other piercings on and around your nose out when they are lining them up. Don't wear any makeup. Have the only thing standing out on your face the alignment. Or have nothing in any piercing and have them try to align it with no jewelry in it whatsoever, just by the holes.
    Everyone I have ever met has had crooked matching nostrils to one degree or the other.

  • @rachelknight5797
    @rachelknight5797 5 місяців тому +1

    Haven't watched you in a while. What was the reason you took out the right one anyway? Was it the placement? Looks like the correct alignment would be in between both piercing holes, but I'm not a professional. I'd say take out the right one, wait for it to close and heal up (which I know is going to take a while cuz I took out my left nostril piercing because of the hypertrophic scarring it had and got it redone 3 months later. I don't recommend that, btw.) Also, the left side looks better than the right, as far as placement goes. Hope that helps :)

  • @meggold3422
    @meggold3422 4 місяці тому

    I prefer the re-pierced side, but it might be cool to pierce the original hole as closely as possible, so you'll have 2 on that side and one on the other. My personal preference is when they don't completely match, though. My second ear piercings don't match, and I really like that. These are your ears, so ultimately it's your opinion that matters.

  • @thesleeplessspook

    Lurker here, but speaking out about this.
    Just look at unedited pictures online (and not AI pictures) of people with opposite side nostril piercings. I promise that 99% of them will be uneven. Having a perfectly symmetrical nose is unrealistic except in cases where people had rhinoplasty done, or they have tremendously convenient genes. If you don't believe me, put those pictures into a photo editing program and use a pen-tool to draw a straight, geometrical line across the jewelry. I guarantee you'll see what I mean and it'll probably help you feel better about your piercings.
    My own nostril piercings are uneven. I just wear certain jewelry in them to conceal the fact. In my case, the piercings are nicely even across my nose, but point in different directions. As such, I avoid jewelry that makes it obvious or if I do wear that type of jewelry, I either pull the hoop/stud trick as you're doing, or I pick asymmetrical studs. Most of the time, I wear some simple 1.5 mm balls and no one would ever know since they aren't 'directional' pieces.
    I'm with a bunch of people on here in that you should keep your nostrils, but just maybe get some additional nostril piercings done to double/triple up your look, or do a multiple piercing job on only one nostril. If you're really committed to the chain idea, consider doing a nostril-to-ear chain look.
    One trick that I NEVER see piercers do, but that I was trained to do when I apprenticed for opposite side double nostrils is leaving the needle in the first piercing (if you're getting them both done at the same time) or inserting a retainer in the old(er) piercing (if you're getting them done at different times) and leaving the bloody things in there as a level/angle guide for the second piercing. Why don't more piercers do this instead of eyeballing it??!

  • @ErinBuck-shorty86
    @ErinBuck-shorty86 5 місяців тому +1

    Leave them do a hoop and do the other one stud I have a double nose piercing and mine are not even either, but I refuse to take them out. I did not pay all that money just let them go. I can’t do it, but it’s totally up to you. You do what you feel. It’s right for you. Good luck. Let me know what you decide, but I think the hoop in in the stud would be good. Choice.

  • @mus0rmus1c3
    @mus0rmus1c3 5 місяців тому +2

    This is why I don't do symmetrical styles. I had two eyebrow piercings and one was *slightly* off and it made me CRAZY. Unless my piercer is going to indulge my neurosis and literally fckin MEASURE both sides with a caliper, aint doing it.

  • @dianelader1986

    Take them both out. Then redo them both same time. Might be easier to get them straight. Also try a different piercer.

    @jessicayoung9745 4 місяці тому

    If I were you, I would keep the left one because the placement is perfect, and I would search for a shop who can try to get the right side a bit more even. Like others have said, it’d never be totally perfect, because nobody who has double nostril piercings ever are, but it would be a bit more cohesive

  • @user-jj6gh3xe7y

  • @ErinSkar
    @ErinSkar 5 місяців тому +1

    Did you keep your hoop in on your left nostril when you repiereced your other one? I feel like it’s SO uneven because hoops make the nose piercing hole look lower, but my eyes totally bugged a little when you put that other stud in!! That is soooo frustrating!! People always say the most “correct” nostril piercing spot is in that sort of crease but mine is just pierced ON my nostril itself in the center and I love it, so I think it’s just down to personal preference. I personally like how your left nostril placement looks especially with the hoop in, but I’d for sure hesitate to re-pierced the other one a THIRD time!! I think you have to weigh out your jewelry options too. Will you always wear one stud/hoop? How does the crookedness look with 2 hoops? I agree with others here: get some high nostrils and rock the chain on those when they heal 😌 but of course only if you’re open to the idea of adding more to your nose.

  • @cappuccinocrafts2412
    @cappuccinocrafts2412 5 місяців тому +1

    So sorry, Gretchen. If you really want to keep your dream of doing a nose chain connecting left and right nostril piercings, you will have to take one out and repierce it. It just depends on how much you are set on that look. But it sucks and I am sorry. For sure, if you ever do repierce one side to get them even, wear a stud on the other side to the appointment because that is the jewelry you will want to be wearing to match up.
