The first thing to know about nose piercings is that they hurt a lot and take a long time to heal because the cartilage is pierced. A left nose piercing might reveal a different aspect of your personality and have some religious and spiritual meanings.

In ancient Chinese culture, piercing your left nostril drives away negative energy and keeps you happy and in high spirits.

While it's never a good idea to make assumptions about someone's sexual orientation, many people believe those who pierce their left nostrils do so to signify they are bisexual.

According to Ayurvedic practices, the nasal cavity contains multiple nerve endings that when pierced can help with pain relief during childbirth and menstruation.

In Hinduism, having your left nostril pierced is regarded as a symbol of beauty and homage to Parvati, the Goddess of motherhood, strength, vitality, and marital bliss who also had her nose pierced.

According to ancient beliefs, the left nostril is associated with feminine energy. Piercing this nostril is considered a powerful means to amplify your nurturing qualities and enhance intuition.
