A Guide to Nose Piercings: What to Know Before You Get Pierced

Nose piercings are one of the most popular and timeless types of body piercings—and for good reason! Whether you’re going for a subtle sparkle or a bold statement, a nose piercing adds character, confidence, and a bit of edge to your look. At Identity Body Piercing, we specialize in clean, safe, and stylish nose piercings in a welcoming, professional environment.

Types of Nose Piercings

– Nostril: The classic—versatile, elegant, and easy to style with studs, hoops, or chains.

– High Nostril: A bit higher on the nose, this option is great for stacked or paired looks.

– Septum: Pierced through the thin tissue between your nostrils, the septum offers tons of bold jewelry options.

– Bridge: A horizontal surface piercing across the bridge of the nose—super edgy and unique.

Jewelry Options

At Identity, we only use high-quality, implant-grade jewelry from trusted, reputable brands. For fresh nose piercings, we typically recommend titanium or 14k solid gold:

– Flat-back or L-shaped studs for nostrils (with options in titanium, gold, or niobium).

– Circular barbells, seamless rings, clickers for septums.

Once your piercing is healed, the jewelry options are endless—gold hoops, diamond studs, opals, chains—you name it!

Healing & Aftercare

Nose piercings typically take 2–6 months to heal, depending on the placement and your body’s unique healing process. During that time, it’s important to:

– Avoid touching or twisting the jewelry.

– Clean the area daily with a saline solution.

– Avoid makeup or skincare products around the piercing site.

– Come back for a check-up if you experience any issues.
