I got my nose pierced Christmas of 2011 and was unhappy with the short post nose piercing I got from the piercer. I looked on Amazon and found this clear long post piercing for under $2, I mean that's basically a steal ! I was surprised how quick it arrived in the mail box. I opened my package and saw this cute little silver box, opened it and saw not one, but two piercings ( I didn't read the "sold as a pair" )in the box. Thrilled, I cleaned it and put it in and to this day I still wear it. I strongly recommend it, especially if you have a thick nose like me, I'm Greek and Italian and we tend to have big noses :)This would be a great buy for you !
