Heal Conceal

how can you conceal a nose piercing?

i was just wondering, for those of you with nose studs(not septums)- how would you hide your piercing if it was too early to take it out? could you put concealer on it? or put in a very small stud? or a retainer? help please! i am going to turn 16 soon which is the legal piercing age where i am (montreal) without parental consent but my mom doesn't want me to pierce my nose until i'm 18. any ideas on how to get one without her seeing it until it's healed enough to take out? avoiding my mom wouldn't do any good. thanks

You can def try a retainer. But once again we're at the situation of hiding a piercing from you parents. So many of us minors want to... but it doesn't work. Sorry. I pierced my tragus and wore a retainer in it and kept my hair over it all the time. that lasted about six months. then my mom found out. and i felt horrible and was grounded. she's gonna find out. and your not gonna be able to keep a secret for two years... =/ plus what are you going to do? put a stud or ring in it the second your out of your mom's sight, then quick hide it when she's back?

if you REALLY want it pierced. work with her. don't hide from her. talk to her about it. give her your reasons for wanting it. do a lot of homework about it. search online for treatment of it, the dangers of it, the healing times for the piercing. any types of scars it may cause... etc. show her you are responsible. keep your room clean, keep your grades up. Even try making a deal with her. "if you get honnor roll the next semester she'll let you have it" that kinda stuff.

good luck.
