Hi, I'm Tristan McCleigh, from Lucky Seven Tattoo, and I'm here to show you how to pierce
a nose. Let me stress, first and foremost, that this should only be done by a trained
professional. Doing it at home could lead to all kinds of complications, make sure that
you only have someone that's a professional doing this. First thing that I want to do
is make sure that you go into a shop that's reputable, they're clean, make sure that everything
is pre-sterilized, and you want to make sure that they're regulated by the health department
or some kind of local authority. First step is using some technique care, which is a surgical
soap, basically what doctors use to scrub their hands before they cut people open. Another
thing we have is a little bit of Grecian violet, and a single use marker. We also, have the
single use needle, which has a tri-bubbled end, you have the surgical lubrication which
will help the needle ease through. You have the pre-sterilized prepackaged jewelry, and
you also, have the Q tips with a little bit of saline on the end, this will help clean
up afterwards. First step is to clean the area that you[re going to be piercing, just
want to lather it really well with that soap, just go round and wipe off the excess, then
take your single use tool, and your violet, dip it, and make a small mark, this will help
you get a straight shot through, make sure you're not messing up. Next thing you do,
you open your lube,
spread it out on your tray, then you remove the needle from the prepackage, and take off
the tip. You want to make sure that you get a good amount of the lube on the needle before
you try to pierce it, otherwise you'll be dry piercing and that's no fun. Open the jewelry,
so you'll have it handy, when you're ready to go. You grab the nostril with your thumb
and middle finger, make to keep your fingers out of the path of the needle, don't want
to stick yourself because, again, you have the risk of -- contamination, or cause you
don't know what the client has, or doesn't have. And run the needle through, hold the
bottom, take your jewelry, push it straight in, moving the needle, then you want to go
around the area with the saline Q tip, getting up any blood, make them look up, that way
you can clean the inside, as well, get any blood off of that. And that is how you pierce
a nose.
