Nose piercing among other forms of facial piercing ( Lip, tongue, eyebrows, along the ear lobe etc) popular in the United States of America, UK, Canada, the Caribbean, Australia, and Europe is fast becoming trendy among Ghanaian youths.

Historically, nose piercing which is the second most common piercing after the earlobe piercing was practiced in India, Pakistan, Nepal and throughout South Asia. It was also part of traditional Australian Aboriginal culture.
