I am desperately sad right now because my nose ring is currently sitting in my jewelry bag and not in my nose. I took it out the other night to clean it and, in the matter of a minute, I couldn’t get it back in. I’ve had it for over a year and yet it closed up that quickly. I started crying. My face felt naked and I was so frustrated. In fear of damaging the tissue, I need to let it close up and heal completely before I get it re-pierced. For now, I don’t have a sparkle in my nose anymore. Sad.
