Most Common Types Of Nose Rings
                     Most Common Types Of 
Nose Rings
Corkscrew
This type of nose ring has a beat at the top, a straight stem, and a c-shaped hook at 
the bottom. You have to coil it into your nostril and the hook lies flush against the 
inner roof of your nose. The tip of the hook sometimes pokes out your nostril, 
especially after sneezing or sweating. That makes some consumers self-conscious. 
You might find yourself constantly touching your nose and picking at it to check if 
the hook is loose. Twist nose rings are best for nostril and high nostril piercings. 
Buy it in person to be sure the stem fits the thickness of your nose.
L-Shaped
This design is similar to corkscrews, but instead of the stem curling and hooking at 
the tip, it bends at 90°. Like the corkscrew, the L-section sits against the upper 
inside roof of your nose. It’s less fussy without the hook, but isn’t as snug on 
thicker nose membranes and may pinch. It does slip out sometimes though. It’s 
suitable for nostril and high nostril positioning.
Labret
In this type of nose ring, both ends of the stem are flat, and one part screws off. So 
you’ll insert the nose ring from the inside of your nostril then screw on the top part 
on the outside of your nostril. There’s a potential hygiene risk since dirt can slip 
between the threads of the screw. It works best on high nostril and regular nostril 
piercings and can be quite elaborate on top.
Nose Bone Stud
These are similar to labrets, but instead of flat tips, the nose ring has a ball on both 
ends. The outer tip could be a gemstone while the inner ball is metal. The inner 
ball should be small enough to squeeze through your piercing with a little effort 
but it won’t slip out unless you actively yank it because the inner ball functions as a 
stopper. Only buy this type after healing.
Barbell
Barbell nose rings resemble labrets, but instead of flat tips, they have a screwed-on 
ball bead at each end of the stem. The shape of the stem determines the type. 
Curved barbells are ideal for bridges and rhinos due to the potential migration. 
Circular or horseshoe barbells are best for septum piercings. You can also get a 
twisted barbell for your nose if it’s carefully pierced to fit.
Beaded Hoop
This kind of nose ring is an actual thin ring and comes into two styles – closed and 
open. The open beaded hoop is horseshoe-shaped with a bead on one end to act 
as a stopper. It’s sometimes called a faux hoop. In the closed kind, one side of your 
hoop clicks into the bead to seal it shut and prevent it from slipping out of your 
piercing. It can look like a booger though.
