Whether you and your nose piercing have gone a long way or whether it is a new addition to your look that is still healing, you have probably asked yourself whether any special care is required for your jewelry during an illness. We are all familiar with these moments when our nose is sore from repetitive and aggressive nose blowing and since maintaining sterility is critical for a healthy piercing, the unending discharges in the area pose quite a few risks as well. So, what can we do to ensure that our piercing cleaning regime is really over the top when we are under the weather? Studio Meme has prepared some effective tips for you.
Our initial instinct when we have a cold is to blow our noses as hard as possible. We want to clear our airways and make sure we get everything we can out of there. However, it is important to remember, this action can greatly irritate the nasal mucosa and cause pain and even swelling. We have all experienced this pain from time to time. Under these conditions, the likelihood of infection in the piercing area increases significantly. Therefore, before taking any action to maintain the piercing, it is important that first of all, we do not cause any harm.
In general, there is no significant difference between they way we should clean the piercing during illness and during our everyday routine. We must remember that piercings must always be handled with care. However, it is always advisable to clean the area more than usual when the area is more sensitive and prone to infections.
The best way to do this would be to remove the jewel completely and clean the area thoroughly. The nostrils can be thoroughly rinsed with warm salt water until the area is completely clean, disinfect the jewel separately and only then return it to the nose.
However, if the piercing is still in the recovery stages, it should not be removed in any circumstances. It should be thoroughly and gently cleaned and the piercing treatment regimen should be continued as strictly as the professionals have instructed us.
If any remnants of secretions remain on the jewel, it should be thoroughly cleaned. Make sure you return the jewelry to the nose when it is completely clean and check it often.

Simon Biles' exciting victory is a living proof of the belief that is becoming a fact today - women have a place of honor in sports. It is an important inspiration for our girls to dare to conquer any summit they choose, no matter what field it is. Whether we are training for the next Olympics or whether we are just barely able to drag ourselves for a walk outdoors, there is no doubt that exercise is essential to a healthy lifestyle.
For me personally, it is very difficult to say goodbye to my jewelry, even when the time comes to enter the yoga studio or dive into the pool. The good news is that we do not always have to choose between jewelry and sports activities. Here we will explain which jewelry is suitable for exercise and in which cases it is better that we leave them in a safe place.
Like loose articles of clothes, or wearing your hair down, some types of jewelry can pose many dangers when working out. Make sure you were jewelry that stays close to your body without any loose ends that may entangle or push against your skin. Designer body piercings like studded nose jewelry or helix, can work perfectly with various activities.
Necklaces and loose foot rings, on the other hand, should be avoided in most cases.
Many metals can tarnish severely from excessive sweat or salt water. This is why some types of gold and silver should be avoided when going for a swim or during an intense workout. The good news is that it is pretty easy to clean and when you choose a quality item, there is a pretty good chance it will withstand harsh conditions and will allow you to wear it during any activity. Cheap and low-quality metals like nickel or brass may corrode easily in these conditions and should not be worn at all during a workout.
Studio meme offers a variety of gold piercings and high-quality items that will accompany you in all your activities, without ever worrying about safety hazards or damages to your jewelry. Learn more about our hottest offers and latest items in our shops. To consult with our team, contact us now.

How to choose the best diamond nose ring
When we think about how to choose a diamond nose ring, there are a few things to consider. This includes size, the materials used, the occasion for wearing it, and much more!
To help you decide, here’s our ultimate guide on choosing the best nose ring:
Step 1: Think about metal choice and diamond size
The first step is arguably the most critical, picking out the metal choice and what size diamond you want. Having those two elements ready helps you narrow down choices when you’re looking for one, and it’ll lead to a faster buying process overall.
When it comes to metals, you should ideally be looking for solid gold options. You’ll often see surgical steel and titanium touted as options, but these metals aren’t always compatible with your skin. To avoid irritation or any skin issues, hypoallergenic solid gold is the best option. Plus, gold goes with everything, so it’s the most practical (and beautiful!) option when you’re looking for the best diamond nose ring.
The other consideration is the size of the diamond. You’ll likely have heard the 4 C’s of diamonds - cut, color, clarity, and carat and this applies here as well. The diamond size will depend on what look you’re going for.
Bold and bright? Go for somewhere between 2.5 mm - 3 mm diamonds. Thinking of going a bit more dainty and delicate? 1.3 mm - 2 mm will be the best.
Step 2: Pick out design and style
Okay, so now you know what you’re looking for...now you just need to find out! This is the fun part since you get to look at many different diamond nose rings and decide which one fits your personality. There are a few different styles to choose from:
Step 3: Research gauge options
Gauges tend to be the most confusing option, and rightly so. Gauges are the thickness of the wire and how comfortably it can enter the piercing. There are many gauge sizes and are entirely dependent on your piercing.
Sizes start from 16 ga (1.2 mm) up to 22 ga (0.6 mm), and they do vary for individuals. If you’re not sure about your gauge size, you have a few options:
The last step? Buy your perfect match!

So, finally, you have decided to get your nose pierced. You have talked to your friends, watched YouTube videos, and collected information from here and there. You must have lots of questions in your mind, like which type of nose piercing you should go with, how bad your nose will hurt, and what kind of jewelry you should wear? In this post, we have compiled some crucial information that helps you make the right decision.
Nose piercing is as old as humankind. In many cultures, people pierce their noses for various reasons such as religious preferences, child-bearing help, warrior status, or more. Today, be it, men or women, everyone is looking forward to this trend to give their appearance an edgy ascent. Undoubtedly, it is one of the imminent ways to make a style statement and show your individuality.
From nostril to septum piercing, there are several options and styles to choose from. Whether you want to pierce your nose or septum, there are several aspects to consider, such as the type, nose piercing care, and aftercare. So, let's start understanding the basics of it.
Certainly, understanding the basics is very important before you decide the type of piercing you want. You can find many types of nose and septum piercing choices. Choosing the right one depends on your nose shape and build, along with your threshold for jewelry options and the level of discomfort. However, the nostril piercing is not as painful as nasallang and third eye, which have higher discomfort levels. With a variety of jewelry and placement options, you can not only enhance your looks but also have fun with this form of body modification.
Nostril and septum piercing are the most common types of nose piercing. However, nose piercing is not only limited to these two types as there are many options to choose from. Choosing the right type of piercing depends on your preferences and personal style. Some nose piercings are more complicated and painful than others. Regardless of the type of nose piercing you choose, make sure to choose the right artist who has the experience and perform piercing in a hygienic place.
Many people are often scared of the pain they will undergo during and after nose piercing. Some of the piercings, like the third eye, nasallang, etc., are painful and have higher discomfort levels, while nostril piercing just involves pain equal to the pain you feel during pinch or twinge, following little bruising and sometimes make your eyes watery.
The pain endurance level of everyone is different. Moreover, healing time depends on the type of piercing you have and how diligently you do aftercare. Usually, nasallang and nostril piercing take four to six months to heal, the bridge takes eight to twelve weeks, and a septum piercing will recover in six to eight weeks. Intricate piercing like a rhino takes around six to nine months to recover.
Side effects
When you modify any part of your body, chances are, you may experience some side effects. It usually happens when you do not clean or take care of your piercing correctly, or your jewelry causes some backlash. If you want to avoid the side effects, make sure to choose a ring or stud made from titanium or implant- grade surgical steel.
Also, during the initial stage, changing jewelry can be daunting and could hurt your piercing. To avoid it, make sure to take some expert's help and follow the right nose piercing aftercare instructions and maintain good hygiene.
Gold is one of the most recommended metals for nose piercing because it is pure and hypoallergenic in nature. You can choose a 14k or 18K gold ring. The higher the carat, the better results.
Regardless of the nose piercing you have, your next step is aftercare. Your nose piercing needs delicate care more than tattoos and ear piercing. Your piercer will tell you some tips about nose piercing aftercare or even provide you a kit to prevent infection and accelerate the healing process. The following are the tips you need to follow.
Remember that healing takes time. So, make sure to do nose piercing aftercare properly to avoid any side effects and get ready to flaunt your new look confidently.

Multiple ear piercings aren't new. For thousands of years, humans have been getting their ears pierced as part of their long-held traditions. From Greeks to the South Asians, from Africans to the Mayans, every culture has had its share of extreme ear piercings, sometimes even for ritualistic purposes. However, the craze of plentiful piercings using metals, semi-precious, and precious stones is more of a modern craze.
It's 2021, and ear piercings are still one of the hottest trends. Unlike the old times, stacked up ear piercings are now aimed towards looking beautiful and signifying a person's style. It isn't about using a random assortment of studs, hoops, diamonds, and sparkles anymore. There are experts available with advice on healing, and research is needed to curate your ear piercings in a way that best suits your style and enhances your features. If you plan to jump on the bandwagon, here's all you need to know to do it effectively.
The term "curated ear" was coined by Maria Tash, a famed jewelry designer. It refers to planning multiple ear piercings to complement each other. The planning process is similar to the art of home décor. You pick a couple of pieces that go together, lift each other, and beautify the room at large.
A curated ear isn't achieved in one sitting. It's a pre-planned process that is completed in a more extended period to work together. Expert curators do not recommend getting more than three piercings at a time.
Tips to Curate Your Ear Piercings Effectively
To make sure that the result of your curated ears exceeds your best expectations and your ears are healed timely and adequately, make sure to adhere to the following tips:
Match Piercings to Your EarCurating is planned based on your ear shape and size. Since every ear is unique, so would be every curated ear piercing. It's great to look for inspiration around you or on the web. However, it's best not to replicate an actual piercing.
One way to plan your ear piercing is by printing out your ear's picture and sketching on it. This way, you can see what kind of piercings would best complement the distinctive shape of your ear. For example, if you wish to make your ears stand out, then helix piercings would be a better choice. A perfect match to balance the helix piercing would be a tragus piercing. On the contrary, if you think your features would benefit from your ear looking flat, opt for an earlobe piercing instead.
Some common types of piercing for curated ears are:
Picking a theme is not a must when it comes to curated ears, but you should know that it's an option if you want it. If there's something you feel strongly about, such as constellations, locks and keys, or even harry potter, you can easily incorporate it in your curated ears. You can also follow a color theme using stones or going all-metal, which in itself is a theme. Picking a theme makes it easier to choose jewelry that compliments each other.
@Kaia Gerber
Now that you have a complete plan of your curated ears, it's time that you move towards the actual piercings. However, there are things to take into consideration here. First things first, never get more than three piercings at a time. This allows the piercings to heal quickly and effectively. If you have no piercings at all, then begin with the lobe piercings as they are the most painless ones, and heal quickly.
They are your ears, and you can choose whatever look you want. However, it's best to start with less and make sure there is enough spacing between piercings to create a balanced and clean look. There are numerous ear shapes and anatomy, and different styles look good on different ears. Perhaps a crowded piercing would suit your features, but there's also a chance it would not. Hence, start with less, and once you are sure more would look good on you, go for it.
As a rule of thumb, follow the 2:3 ratio. If there are two lobe piercings, then go for three top ear piercings, etc.
Curated ears do not necessarily need to involve cartilage puncturing, especially if you are nervous about it. If you wish for a new and improved look, a tiny dazzling stud (or two) right above your existing lobe piercing will bring just as much charm. It is also a great way to balance a prior misplaced piercing. Wear a hoop in the lowest lobe piercing and small studs in the above to prevent overcrowding and balance the look.
Choosing the jewelry might be the most challenging step of getting curated ears, mostly because the options are endless. Numerous options make people lose track of their original theme and mess up their balanced look.
The trick is to choose pieces that balance each other out. If you are going for metals, choose one that complements your skin tone and always gets hoops and studs together for balance. However, you can also go for all hoops or all studs. If you need a pop of color, choose a one colored huggie. If you need an edge, add a cuff. You can also follow a size theme by inserting the biggest one in the lower lobe.
Whatever kind of curated ears you choose, makes sure you always go to an expert and reputed piercer. Never compromise on the jewelry either and if you have a nickel allergy, keep that in mind when making your purchase. Most importantly, don't forget to enjoy the process!

]]>The placement of your nose piercing can have a huge impact on your overall appearance. The right position can lift your features and give you a chic effortless look. Nose studs and hoop nose rings can be placed anywhere along with your nostril and on either side. While rare, but equally possible, nose studs and nose hoops are also placed on the septum and the bridge of the nose.
The facial attributes of an individual, the choice of their jewelry, and their overall style can come together and give them a very elegant look. However, what makes the most difference is the place of piercing on the nose.
The choice might be difficult, but knowing about each nose piercing style will make the decision much easier for you.
Nostrils are the safest and the most common nose piercing position. With the right jewelry, it can turn out to be the best choice for you. Piercings on the nostril are generally placed right above the crease, in the curve of the nose. However, upon visiting the piercer you can make a more informed decision and move the position a bit for the best aesthetics.
Since the nostril position is very accessible, you have a lot of jewelry options to choose from. From just within studs, you can go for corkscrew studs, hoops, and L-Shaped pins. A professional jeweler would even adjust the size on your request.
If you don’t mean to stop at just one nose piercing then this is a better choice for you. High nostril piercing is a great way to layer up and combine with other piercings along with the nostril and create a very striking look. The choice of jewelry in this piecing is limited to studs, L-shaped pins, and corkscrew studs. Since they are too high up on the nostrils, it’s impossible to use rings and hoops on them.
Septum jewelry isn’t for everyone. People with deviated septum or one with even a slight crook can’t get septum piercing. However, once you are sure it is safe for you, backed by experts’, you can go for it. Though somewhat rare in the west, septum piercing is the oldest nose piercings recorded in human history. Contrary to the popular belief, septum piercing is don’t on the septal cartilage, but on the soft tissue below it. It requires a very expert and steady hand to do this piercing. You can then adorn this piercing with circular barbells or captive bead rings.
Perhaps the rarest – and to some, the strangest – nose piercing is on the nose. However, if done correctly and chosen well, this piercing is perhaps the coolest of all. The piercing goes through the top of the nose bridge and surprisingly, heals quickly. Just like septum piercing, this one also doesn’t go through the nose bone, but rather the skin. However, this type of piercing can pose the risk of migration. In some people, the body rejects the acceptance of this foreign object and fights back.
Women say they “love jewelry” and any man would attest to that statement. However, that doesn’t mean that they love all kinds of jewelry. Every woman tends to have her own particular taste and style when it comes to buying and wearing jewelry. Some women prefer their nose rings, gold earrings, and other body jewelry to stand out and make a bold statement while others opt for a more subtle dainty look to match their particular style and fashion sense.
Gold has long been the most preferred metals for jewelry crafting. Its unique properties along with its color and golden shine have forever made it a valuable and highly desirable commodity. Master jewelers and craftsmen have used gold for centuries not just for making jewelry, but a wide array of different ornaments, weapons, and even statues.
One of gold’s many unique properties includes the fact that it is hypoallergenic. This makes it the ideal metal for all types of body jewelry and can also help in the healing process from more painful ear and nose piercings.
Unlike other metals, gold is natural and nonreactive which means that one cannot have an allergic reaction or an infection when wearing solid gold. This is why women who get nose piercings or ear piercings done, especially painful ones, such as a tragus piercing, will always opt for a solid gold nose stud, gold earrings, or a gold nose ring to avoid any chances of an allergic reaction or infection and to also help with the skins healing process.
But what gold body jewelry will look best on you? Would gold, white gold or rose gold suit you better? Does your skin tone play a role in what type of body jewelry you should try on? Well, let's take a look!
As a woman, they are many reasons why you might be attracted to a particular piece of jewelry. Maybe you saw someone wearing it and it caught your eye? Or maybe it just fits your particular style, preference, or taste? But does that mean it will look just as good on you?
Well, as long as you feel good about it, it really doesn’t matter. As after all, wearing any piece of body jewelry inadvertently tells something about your personality, style, and character. You could care less about what others think as long as you feel good and confident.
However, if you are like me, and a little more circumspect about what jewelry you wear and whether it suits your particular skin tone and styling, then this particular guide can help you make the right choice when it comes to matching body jewelry to your skin tone.
A woman's skin tone is not the same as her skin color. Your skin tone is the color beneath your skin’s surface and can be essentially divided into three categories; warm, neutral, or cool. If you are unsure about what your skin tone is, an easy way to check is to simply look at the veins on the underside of your wrist.
Cool: If your veins have a purplish, greenish olive, or bluish color then you have a cool skin tone.
Warm: If the veins appear to be yellow, peach, or have golden hues then you have a warm undertone.
Neutral: If you can’t determine what color is most prevalent you likely have a neutral undertone.
What does this mean? Well, now that you know what skin tone you have it will help you not only pick out jewelry that best compliments your skin tone but also the right color of clothes and accessories to help bring out the real you!
Cool Skin Tones
Women with cool skin tones usually have red, pink, or bluish undertones. Wearing silver, platinum, and white gold in such instances can look absolutely stunning, especially, when complemented with gemstones such as blue sapphire, pearl, or other pastel-colored stones.
Warm Skin Tones
Women with warmer skin tones will benefit from wearing gold, bronze, and rose-gold jewelry complimented with gems such as ruby, garnet, citrine, alexandrite, and peridot.
Against a warmer skin tone, such types of jewelry pieces can simply bedazzle even when standing amidst a crowd.
Neutral Skin Tones
Don’t we all wish we had neutral skin tones? Women with Mediterranean skin seem to be able to get away with wearing just about any style of jewelry. If you have a neutral skin tone feel free to experiment, you will be amazed at what you can pull off!
If you love piercings as much as I do, knowing these basics can help you choose the right body jewelry that best suits your skin tone. For those of us that have cool skin tones sticking to white gold nose studs, nose rings, and earrings is ideally the way to go. Look for jewelry pieces with bluish undertones to further compliment your skin tone and facial features.
For people like me, with warmer skin tones, sticking to gold and rose-gold body jewelry is perhaps the best way to go. The natural color of gold on warmer skin tones simply look stunning and can also help accentuate certain facial features.
Always remember that the color of your eyes and hair can also play a part in deciding what color jewelry you should buy. Never be shy to try on different pieces of jewelry you never know what you might fall in love with!
]]>There are many reasons as to why gold will likely remain trendy, valuable, and desirable forever. Check out our top five reasons.
]]>Solid gold body jewelry has always been a trendy and fashionable accessory choice among women as it is a bold, affordable, and elegant way of expressing their personality and inner fashion sense.
There are many reasons as to why gold will likely remain trendy, valuable, and desirable forever. But here are our top five reasons:
Gold has many unique properties that make it unlike any other metal found on earth. These unique properties also make it the most versatile of all materials as gold:
Gold is hypoallergenic and natural which makes it the safest and most perfect metal for nose rings and nose studs. Wearing any other metal jewelry on your nose can result in allergic reactions and thus gold is by far the most preferred metal of choice for nose rings, nose studs, earrings, & ear piercings.
Gold accentuates feelings of passion, courage, love, and compassion and in many traditions and customs around the world, it is believed to hold magical healing properties. Wearing a gold earring or gold nose stud is believed to improve blood flow in the vessels and also aids in regulating the flow of oxygen in the body.
Gold nose studs, nose piercing rings, tiny nose studs, gold earrings are all ideal pieces of jewelry to wear after an ear or nose piercing gets fully healed. This helps prevent any allergy or infection from occurring as gold is nonreactive as compared to other metals and thus safe to wear even for babies.
Many precious metals deteriorate and lose value over time. However, the unique properties of gold ensure that it retains its value, durability, and strength over time. Gold offers the luxury of use without devaluation or depreciation. Another trait that is unique to this extraordinary metal.
Gold has its own unique deep yellow and brown color that is unlike any other natural color found on our planet. The color gold has forever been associated with extravagance, wealth, and excess. The sparkle and glitz of pure gold have also mesmerized many a man and woman throughout the pages of history. It is beautiful, elegant, rare, and extraordinary and that is why its beauty and value will remain timeless forever.
There is no denying that we as a collective whole believe that gold is valuable and an extremely desirable commodity. This innate belief, combined with the difficulties behind its extraction, has meant that the demand for gold has always been universal. Other than from an investment perspective gold is also by far the most popular jewelry metal for women.
The fact that gold is exceptionally malleable and ductile means that it can be mixed with many different types of alloy metals to give it further strength and durability for those that live a more active lifestyle. Pure gold (24k) is soft and requires a base metal to give it strength and rigidity. That is why most pieces of jewelry are made of 18k or 14k solid gold.
Solid gold in its purest form (24 karats) is highly valued as it doesn’t fade or tarnish over time and will continue to hold its value over time. Gold can also complement a number of other precious jewels and stones making it the preferred choice as the base for many unique jewelry designs.
There is no denying that solid gold body jewelry will remain trendy forever. The love of gold has not diminished in the hearts of both men and women and is still considered as precious as it once was many centuries ago!
