Dermal Punching

This is a method used to remove both skin and cartiledge in a circular shape at the site of a piercing. After the dermal punch is performed, the nose ring is inserted. When the cartiledge is removed, it releases pressure from the piercing site, and allows for proper healing. The fistula (internal 'skin tube' that connects the two ends of the piercing.) will shrink over time, but will shrink a lot slower than in other piercing methods. Allowing a longer period of time for removing your nose ring, with a lower chance of having your piercing grow over. This method is more frequently used for ear piercings, but do work great for nose piercings as well. Any type of nose ring can be inserted after a dermal punching. (ex: nose screw, nose pin, nose stud etc.)
