I've asked many people this question and I never got the same answer. It is all a matter of opinion. Some people think getting it pierced in a stud is better and some think a loop is better.. I personally just got my nose pierced 4 days ago in a loop (my piercer advised against it) and it looks great for being a new piercing. I've cleaned it more than 3 times a day and it looks normal. Some people believe that piercing it in a loop will result in the piercing not healing right. I think that a loop is easier to clean and looks better. Piercing it in a stud can result in the piercing sinking into the skin and/or dirt and oils getting trapped under the stud. I'd advise a loop.
One can buy jewelry for a nose piercing from websites like Claires, Blue Banana, Spencers Online and many more. One can also purchase it from retail stores like Target and Walmart.

For such a small gauge and diameter, you could buy these at Wal-Mart if you are in an isolated kind of area, but all tattoo shops in your area will have these as well.
