If you want that people looking at your eyes, saw not only them, but also located on the bridge of the nose, then the bridge is a piercing for you. This unusual trend spread throughout the world not so long ago, so it did not have time to bore and become boring. A bridge looks impertinent, expressive and new, gives a touch of extravagance and guarantees a high attention to its owner.
History
Historians claim that the bridge appeared in ancient times. The culture of primitive tribes welcomed all sorts of decorations on the face and body with improvised means: shells, bones, thread, clay crafts. And piercings and tattoos in those times were not only decorative, but could also be part of religious rituals or speak of the hierarchy of the owner.
Nowadays, some tribes living in the wilderness far from civilization also practice bridge. Piercings and tattoos are very important to them.
Modern society only a few years ago remembered the bridge, which until then was consigned to oblivion. Representatives of youth subcultures welcomed this trend, and the fashion for facial piercings, as they say, went into the masses.
The meaning of
Today, good masters say that the tattoo most often means that the person wanted a tattoo. Roughly the same is the case with piercings. What can bridge piercing signify? Most likely, its owner liked the jewelry at the level of the bridge of his nose, and one day he decided to modernize his own nose as well. There are no special secret meanings of the piercing.
Decorated with breeches.
At the same time, often such piercings are made by those who want to emphasize their belonging to a certain cultural stratum. Most likely, facial piercings can be regarded in terms of the desire to stand out. In this case, the bridge is practiced by a huge number of subcultures: goths, rasta, punks.
People who wear a bridge are very different from each other, there are DJs and instructors on bungee jumping, as well as cab drivers and managers. If you decide to do bridge piercing on the bridge, it does not mean that you have to join an informal organization or change your musical tastes.
It is fair to say that the bridge is often the choice of bright and unusual natures. We can often notice in the company of pierced nose bridge dreadlocks, hair of unusual shade, lenses with colored sclerae, tunnels in the ears, tattoos, unusual jewelry and catchy clothes. A person who decided to pierce the bridge of his nose is unlikely to be boring. And girls with jewelry on the face often cause admiring glances due to the flawless and elaborate makeup.
The work of a master
Many of us in our youth experimented with pierced ears, and even worse. Eyebrows, for instance, or the wings of the nose. But if a punctured earlobe is unlikely to be injured by someone or somewhere, then the bridge should not be trifled with.
If you dared to bridge piercing, you have only one way - to a good salon. The choice of the master is not an easy thing. He must have the appropriate qualifications and be a professional with the tools. In a good salon you can get a gold piercing or insert a piece of jewelry made of medical steel, which does not cause allergic reactions. The master will help you to decide on the choice, will carry out the procedure, will tell you in detail how to care for the piercing.
Don't be shy to ask questions about everything that bothers you. Ask the masters what kind of needles will be used for the piercing, what kind of metal is the jewelry made of. A professional will be happy to answer all the questions of the client.
Piercing care
It is not enough just to pierce a bridge, it is also necessary to take care of it. It is important to treat it with antiseptics and not to change the earring until the place of the piercing is healed.
- As antiseptics it is better to use "Miramistin", "hydrogen peroxide" or "Chlorhexidine", they do not irritate the puncture site, unlike alcoholic antiseptics.
- At night you can apply some healing and antibacterial ointment, for example, "Levometil".
- If inflammation occurs, treat the puncture site every four hours.
- Do not touch the puncture site or the jewelry unnecessarily, so as not to get an infection.
- It is not recommended to visit bathhouses and saunas for about six weeks, not to go to the pool or take a hot bath for about a month. It is better to confine yourself to a warm shower or bath.
- You should not heat the puncture site.
If the place of the puncture was inflamed, and it does not pass 2-3 days, in this case it is worth to contact the master. The master will recommend antiseptic drugs and ointments, if they do not help, the rod will need to be removed and treat the inflammation without it.
Important!!! The master must have a medical education.
Variations
As we can make sure thanks to the submitted photos, flat piercing looks very attractive. You can choose how your bridge will look. Think in advance where and how you want to place it, and if the decision will cause difficulties, an experienced master will help with advice.
Most often the piercing is placed between the inner corners of the eyes, on the bridge of the nose. There is another option - a vertical bridge, when the bar is placed perpendicular to the floor. Both variants are good, but the second one is a little bit more difficult in the performance. But it occurs less often, that's why it is chosen by those who want something really radical.
Decoration for the bridge.
Most often, as a decoration for Bridge piercings, a rod is used. It can be decorated in different ways, depending on the taste of its wearer. Some people like plastic or metal balls at the ends of the barbell, some like spikes and some like stones.
The diameter of the rod at the initial stage is chosen from 1 mm to 2 mm, the length is chosen for each client individually. And it is chosen with a reserve of about four millimeters, because during the healing period there can be swellings or tumors.
The materials used for the barbell are:
- titanium;
- medical alloy;
- Precious metals (gold, silver);
- bioplastic;
- Teflon or nylon and other materials.
But it is better to use medical alloy or titanium as the primary jewelry.
Implementation of the procedure
So how does it happen? Many people worry about this question. To get rid of fear and finally dispel doubts, talk to the master in advance, ask about how the process will take place.
The bridge is a rather painful piercing. The bridge is a very sensitive area. For this reason, before the procedure, the client is given an anesthetic. It can be injected directly into the piercing site, which is the most common practice. In some cases, a strong analgesic is administered intravenously.
The piercing place is disinfected. Needles for piercing are used, as a rule, disposable, although there are also reusable. They are subjected to a process of disinfection.
After wiping with a disinfectant solution, the master will pull the skin over the bridge of the nose with special pliers and make the piercing. All that remains is to insert a rod or earring into the flat piercing.
How to take care
In the first days after surgery, there is often swelling of the tissues in this area and bruising under the eyes. You can relieve the swelling with cool compresses, not touching the puncture site, and avoiding getting liquid into the wound
How long does it take to heal?
How long does the breeches heal, an important question and requires an extensive answer, but we will not do it of course. To speed up the process, it is recommended to take B vitamins.
On average, it takes 4 to 6 months to heal

Contraindications
The master will carefully analyze whether such a procedure is suitable for you. If your skin on the bridge of your nose is too thin, it is not recommended to get a piercing in this area. Another common problem is caused by individual intolerance of certain materials used in the manufacture of jewelry. In addition, an allergic reaction to any product used is also dangerous.
The reason for rejection can be problems related to the organs of vision. For example, no normal technician would undertake to stab the bridge of the nose of a person with an active phase of conjunctivitis. Scars and burns on the bridge of the nose can interfere with the work. The master will make the final decision whether or not to have a bridge on the bridge of your nose after conducting a complete necessary examination.
Consider carefully whether or not a bridge should be made if you wear glasses. Won't the earring interfere with the frame?
Technique of execution
The algorithm depends on the type of piercing. But, apart from that, there are general rules:
- The master treats the site of the procedure, his hands and tools.
- Then makes a marking with a special marker on the client's body.
- The client sees if he or she is satisfied with the expected result.
- Injection of anesthetic (at the request of the client, sometimes for a fee).
- The procedure itself: the pierced area clamped in special tongs, put the needle through the marked points, replace its decoration. If only soft tissue is pierced, it is not necessary to use a clamp.
- Wound treatment.
A gun or a needle is used for the procedure. Most specialists recommend piercing the nose with a needle only, as the impact of the gun can traumatize the cartilage.
When using a needle, there are 2 options: piercing with a tube and putting the jewelry through it, or directly replacing the needle with an earring. Both options are acceptable and safe if the service is performed correctly.
Nose piercing can be done using different techniques.
Complications
Unfortunately, even with the best of the best, unfortunate lapses happen. Getting ready to pierce the bridge of the nose, remember how risky this procedure is. Even the best master can accidentally hit an eye nerve, because everyone has its own anatomic peculiarities and the master does not know exactly where the nerve is located.
Lack of attention to cleanliness of the instrument can cause various infections. Always keep it in mind when trusting the beautician or tattoo artist.
