Once you have been pierced, we pause to insert the jewellery and then you are done! The whole process takes about 5-10 seconds. We find that being pierced lying down is much less intimidating for you! Once you are ready, you are asked to take a nice calm breath in. Once your nose has been cleaned, marked, disinfected and you are happy with the position, we ask you to lie down. Nothing else! This freehand technique is both easier for you, and produces less waste to go to landfill or be incinerated. ![]() For each piercing, we use a single sterile tri-bevel needle, our hands, and your jewellery. Luckily, we do not use any clamps or tools for nose piercings so they are much more comfortable process for you. The most uncomfortable part of the piercing is usually any clamps and tools that are used. Nose piercings are incredibly easy to get, and are not that uncomfortable to get! They do make your eyes water, but this is simply because your eyes don’t need an excuse to water. If your nose piercing is irritated, it is best to swap to a high-quality flat-back labret as a first port of call. We only recommend nostrils screws for well-healed piercings, and only for temporary wear. These styles of jewellery lack security, and are the most common cause of lost piercings! They are often made from mystery metals and are cheaply manufactured. There is no real benefit to you as the final customer. We do not recommend either style of jewellery for long term wear, especially nose bones as they can damage your piercing! The main reason these types of jewellery are used is because they are incredibly cheap to manufacture in comparison to high quality threaded or threadless jewellery. Nose bones are straight posts with a sharp point or small ball on the inside, so when inserted the ball is pushed through and holds the jewellery in place. Nostril screws are those classic ‘corkscrew’ type pieces which you spiral into the piercing and are held in place via the curvature of the post. The other options for nostril piercings are nostril screws and nose bones. Nostril screws, nose bones and other styles of jewellery are easily lost and made of poor quality materials. If you are set on a ring, it’s important to know what you are getting yourself into! All of these can irritate your piercing and extend your healing time.

If you chose to start with a ring, it would usually not be the style of ring you imagine! This ring would have to be much thicker in gauge, and larger in diameter, to allow for your initial swelling and drainage of fluids (yummy!). We highly recommend waiting a minimum of three months before swapping to a ring, so your piercing has a chance to heal and settle before changing to this slightly more irritating style of jewellery. Healed nose piercings do not need extra room for swelling and drainage, and do not need a stopper ‘design’ to avoid irritating your fresh piercing with a seam or hinge. It’s usually the end-goal style, and are incredibly popular! However, they are only really suitable for healed piercings. Rings are a really classic look for nose piercings. Traditional nose piercings are the most common type, and have the largest range of jewellery choices once healed. ![]() This means that ‘nasal crease’ piercings can be very tricky to heal. Some people will want their nose piercings directly on the nasal crease, but we do not recommend this as it is the thickest part of the cartilage, where two cartilage plates meet. They sit about 8mm from the edge of the nose, below the nasal crease. Traditional nose piercings are exactly what most people imagine when thinking about a nose piercing. Not all are easy, not all are to everyone’s taste, but we love how much of a blank canvas the nose is. There are many places on the nose that can be pierced. Here you’ll find an overview of nose piercings, their aftercare, and what to expect in terms of healing and jewellery options!
