Blocking a nose piercing can be achieved using a small piece of skin-tone or clear tape. Clean the piercing area thoroughly, then cut the tape to the appropriate size and cover the piercing. For a more discreet method, a retainer—which is a small, transparent piece of jewelry designed to keep the piercing open but less visible—can be used. These methods are useful for situations where the piercing needs to be hidden.
