Nose Piercing

For many years, facial piercings have been the difference between a “yes” or a “no” on a job application. However, there’s been an increasing social acceptance of nose piercings in more recent years. 

Nearly 2,000 years after the first records of nostril piercing, the Biblical book of Genesis describes Abraham’s son Isaac giving his future wife, Rebekah, a golden “Shanf”, which is Hebrew for “golden earring” or “nose ring”. The practice of men gifting golden nostril rings to their future wives is one that continues to this day among the Bedouin tribes of the Middle East and the Berber and Beja tribes of Africa. These gifts are a form of insurance that represents financial security; should a woman’s husband die or divorce her, she can sell her nose ring to provide for herself.

Today, nose rings are quite common in the mainstream media. There are still many who frown on nose piercings. However, that has now slowed down the nose piercing trend. In addition to young people, progressively more professionals in trades as diverse as business to medicine are adopting the practice of nose piercings now.

Septum piercings are also common today in the U.S. While not as popular overall as nostril piercing, septum piercing has become widely adopted by mainstream in recent years. This may due partly because you can turn up septum piercings to hide them when necessary.

These are just basics of the social acceptance of nose piercings. If you want to buy piercing jewelry, contact us.
