mystify82281, i have my nose peirced, with a very tiny stud. never had to wear the hoop. my nose stud is so small people dont even notice it. Call "Exotix" in Brick , NJ. Ask for Brian. he has everything. Silver studs, tiny diamonds. It's clean there of course. never had a problem with any peircings and all of my friends go there, and get peirced from nipples, nose, prince albert, clit, tongue, ect. Also, you have giood taste in women.lol
