Moreover, piercings and tattoos in those days were not only decorative, but could also be part of religious rituals ortalk about the hierarchical ownership of the owner.
In our time, 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 that time had been forgotten. Representatives of youth subcultures welcomed this trend, and the fashion for facial piercings, as they say, went to the masses.

Today, good masters say that a tattoo most often means that a person wants a tattoo. The same is true with piercings. What does a bridge piercing mean?

Such features make the bridge one of the most dangerous types of piercing. Be careful.
Master's work

Most often, the puncture 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 options are good, but the second is a little more difficult to perform. But it is less common, because it is chosen by those who want something completely radical.
Performing the procedure
How does this happen? Many people are concerned about this issue. To get rid of fear and finally dispel doubts, talk to the master in advance, ask about how the process will take place.
Bridge - piercing is quite painful. The bridge of the nose is a very sensitive place. For this reason, the client is given pain medication before the procedure. It can be injected directly into the puncture site, which is the most common practice. In some cases, a strong analgesic is given intravenously.
The puncture site is disinfected. Piercing needles are used, as a rule, disposable, although there are also reusable ones. They are undergoing a decontamination process.
After wiping with a disinfectant solution, the master will stretch the skin on the bridge of the nose with special forceps and make a puncture. It remains only to insert the barbell or earring into the planar piercing.
Jewelry
Today, the most diverse jewelry is in fashion. Gold piercings are a great option for a formal event, while earrings or alloys made of jewelry alloys are suitable for everyday style. Along with metal jewelry, plastic ones are used.
Contraindications
The master will carefully analyze whether such a procedure is right for you. If your skin on the bridge of your nose is too thin, then you are not recommended to get a puncture in this area. Another common problem is due to individual intolerance to certain materials used in the production of jewelry. In addition, an allergic reaction to any used drug is also dangerous.
The reason for refusal may be problems associated with the organs of vision. For example, not a single normal master will undertake to prick the bridge of the nose to a person with an active phase of conjunctivitis. Scars, burns on the bridge of the nose can interfere with work. The master will make the final decision on whether or not to have a bridge on your bridge of the nose by conducting a complete necessary examination.
Think carefully if you should wear a bridge if you wear glasses. Will the earringinterfere with the frame?
Complications
Unfortunately, even the best of the best make mistakes. When preparing to pierce the bridge of your nose, be aware of how risky this procedure is. Even the best master can accidentally touch the optic nerve, because each person has his own anatomical features, and the master does not know where the nerve is located exactly in you.
Insufficient attention to the cleanliness of the instrument can cause various infections. Always keep this in mind when trusting a beautician or tattoo artist.
Healing and care
The healing process takes about two months. According to the masters, at this time you should not pull out the jewelry and expose the bridge of the nose to external factors.
No special grooming procedures required. Avoid getting contaminants into the puncture site, periodically lubricate the edges with wound healing ointment.
