About bridge piercing
A standard bridge piercing passes through skin and soft tissue across the upper bridge of the nose. It does not pass through the nasal bone. The two visible ends sit on either side of the placement, creating a different effect from a nostril or septum piercing lower on the nose. Suitable tissue and careful alignment are essential considerations. The position should be assessed with your face relaxed and with any everyday glasses in mind, so bring the frames you normally wear when discussing whether this placement is practical for you.
Is this placement right for you?
Eyewear is a key part of planning a bridge piercing. Glasses and sunglasses should not rest on or repeatedly knock the jewellery, and the fit of different frames can vary. Think about face washing, skincare and clothing that passes close to the upper nose. A surface placement also deserves attention if the jewellery position changes over time, so keep in contact with the piercer about its fit. Bridge piercing is listed at €40. Ask the studio about suitability and the available jewellery before settling on a specific size or decorative style.
Jewellery and what is included
A straight barbell is commonly used for a standard horizontal bridge piercing. The post length and end size need to suit the tissue and remain clear of everyday eyewear. Ask about a suitable initial fit and have the piercer assess later changes rather than choosing a shorter bar yourself.
Looking after your piercing
Keep glasses, fingers and face products from rubbing against the openings. Wash and dry your face carefully without catching either jewellery end. Follow the studio's cleaning guidance and leave the bar in place. If its position changes or frames begin touching it, arrange a fit and placement review.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Bridge Piercing: your questions
Does a bridge piercing go through bone?
No. A standard bridge piercing passes through skin and soft tissue across the upper nose. Suitable tissue and placement still need to be assessed in person.
Can I have a bridge piercing if I wear glasses?
Possibly, depending on your anatomy and where the frames sit. Bring your usual glasses so the piercer can assess whether they would rub against or press on the proposed jewellery.
