Nose Piercings
Nostril piercings are among the most popular piercings we perform. The piercing can be placed anywhere on the nostril, but tends to heal most quickly—and look most natural—in the horizontal crease. During the piercing procedure, your piercer will place a small dot on your nose to show where they're going to insert the needle and jewelry. Take your time to review this placement, as it is wise to get a piercing in a location that flatters your individual anatomy and face.

- Jewelry Options: The jewelry we suggest for an initial nipple piercing is most often a 12 gauge straight barbell. (Rings can be used for initial healing.) .
- Healing Time: Healing time for nipple piercings is typically between 6 months to 1 year. During the initial healing phase, you may experience some swelling and tenderness. It's crucial to follow proper aftercare instructions to avoid complications.
Proper aftercare is essential for a smooth healing process and to prevent complications. Here are some key tips:
- Clean Regularly: Gently clean the piercing once a day with a saline solution or a piercing aftercare product recommended by your piercer.
- Avoid Irritants: Keep the area free from makeup, hair products, and other potential irritants. Avoid touching the piercing with dirty hands.
- Be Mindful: Avoid touching or playing with the jewelry to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Common Concerns:
- Why Can't I Get a Really Tight-Fitting Ring?: Rings tend to be troublesome during healing, so we will almost always recommend healing with a post. Tight-fitting rings can irritate the tissue and often result in difficulty healing or even scarring.
- How Long Until I Can Change My Jewelry?: Wait at least six months. Not waiting long enough could result in irritation, a tear to the piercing channel, scarring, an increased risk of infection, or difficulty reinserting the jewelry.
- How Long Until I Can Leave the Piercing Empty?: The inner wall of a nostril piercing is made up of a mucus membrane, so this part of the piercing tends to close up very quickly without jewelry—even for a few short minutes. If you like your piercing, keep jewelry in it.
- Are There Jewelry
Options If I Need to Hide the Piercing?:
- There are several options that make your piercing less visible but none that will make it invisible. We sell nostrils screws made of quartz glass that are incredibly discreet—and are a good option for surgery where metal is not allowed. We also carry ends for press-fit posts made of matte-finish titanium and anodized in several different shades of copper to approximate different skin tones.
- How Do I Get the
Jewelry Out?:
- We typically use one type of jewelry for nostril piercings: a threadless flat back. Threadless flat back post are just what they sound like: posts where the end stays on by pressure. To remove, grab the inside bead or flat disk and the outside piece and pull apart. When re-inserting, the post should be put in from the inside of your nose.
- Why Shouldn't I Get My
Nose Pierced with a Gun?:
- It may be cheaper, but you do get what you pay for. Piercing a nostril with a gun is more painful and tends to result in nasty scarring, seldom producing a healthy, attractive piercing. What’s more, due to their plastic parts, piercing guns cannot be sterilized; this means that the blood and bodily fluids of others tend to accumulate in various cracks and crevices. Piercing gun studs were not designed to pierce nostrils, often resulting in embedded jewelry and scarring.
