Nostril piercing
A nostril piercing sits in the soft crease of the nose, off the ear but part of the same composition. It heals in around 4-6 months and takes a fine flat-back stud or a small hoop in 14k recycled gold.

What it is
The Nostril placement
The nostril is pierced through the soft tissue at the crease, placed to sit level with the curve of the nose. We mark it with you first, because a millimetre changes how it reads on the face. It suits a fine stone or a small, close hoop.
Healing & aftercare
How it heals
Around 4-6 months. Heal in a flat-back stud, which sits flush and stays clean. Keep skincare and makeup off it, and rinse with saline twice daily.
For the full ritual, see our Ear Spa & aftercare guide.

Understated. One small stone, or a fine hoop tucked close to the nostril, and nothing that competes with the ear.

FAQ
Nostril piercing, common questions
Does a nostril piercing hurt?
A quick sting and often watery eyes, then it settles immediately.
Stud or hoop to start?
A flat-back stud. Hoops move more and slow the healing.
How long until I can change it?
Around 4-6 months. Come to us for the first change.
Will it leave a mark if I take it out?
Usually a very small one. It fades, but it can remain faintly visible.
