Nenänselkälävistys

Nenänselkälävistys, also known as a bridge piercing, is a type of facial piercing that passes horizontally through the skin on the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. It is not a true cartilage piercing as it does not go through any cartilage. Instead, it is a surface piercing that goes through the tissue and skin above the nasal bone.

The placement of a nenänselkälävistys is typically between the eyebrows and the top of the nasal bridge. The jewelry used is often a straight barbell or a curved barbell. Healing times can vary, but it is generally considered a longer healing piercing, often taking several months to fully heal.

Like any piercing, a nenänselkälävistys carries risks of infection, rejection, and scarring. Proper aftercare is crucial for successful healing and to minimize these risks. This typically involves cleaning the piercing regularly with a saline solution and avoiding touching it with unwashed hands.

The nenänselkälävistys is a relatively modern piercing and its popularity has fluctuated over time. It is considered a more visible piercing due to its placement on the face. Some individuals choose this piercing for aesthetic reasons, while others may find it a way to express their individuality. It is important for individuals considering this piercing to research reputable piercing studios and experienced piercers.
