What type of metal should be used for piercing and when can one change the nose piercing jewelery?
The metal used for piercing should be chosen very carefully. The healing process depends on the type of metal used. It is said that piercing with a low quality metal can cause some problems. The usual metals used for piercing are gold, stainless steel, titanium or niobium. Many people also change their nose ring frequently, before it is fully healed, leading to infections or the pierced hole to shut. The healing period can range from 3-6 months. You have to ask the piercer about how long you will have to wait to change your stud.
