About nostril piercing
A nostril piercing sits on the side of the nose. Its position can change the overall look considerably, so a photograph is useful inspiration rather than a placement to copy exactly. Think about whether you want a small decorative end or eventually a ring: the position and angle need to work with your own nose and that longer-term plan. A standard nostril piercing is different from a septum piercing, which sits centrally beneath the nose. If you already wear facial jewellery, consider how the new piece will sit alongside it.
Is this placement right for you?
Choose the side you like visually, then consider everyday contact from face towels, clothing, glasses and make-up application. A fresh nostril piercing needs space in your routine for careful cleaning and avoiding accidental snags. If you have had a previous nostril piercing, let the team know where it was and whether jewellery is still present. Ask about suitability and the initial jewellery before committing to a particular look. The published €30 price applies to the nostril service; discuss any jewellery choices and their total cost with the studio.
Jewellery and what is included
A small stud creates a different effect from a fitted ring, and the jewellery you want eventually may differ from the best initial choice. Ask about suitable materials, fastening and sizing for your placement. Leave jewellery changes during healing to your piercer, including any adjustment to the initial fit.
Looking after your piercing
Take care when washing or drying your face so towels do not catch the jewellery. Keep cosmetics away from the healing opening and avoid turning or picking at the stud. Follow the studio's cleaning instructions and ask for a fit check if your jewellery begins to feel uncomfortable.
Follow the instructions given for your individual piercing. Ask the studio about any fit checks or jewellery changes during healing.

Nostril Piercing: your questions
Should I choose the left or right nostril?
Either side can create the look you want. Consider your existing jewellery, preferred profile and everyday contact from glasses or face coverings, then discuss placement with the piercer.
Can I plan a nostril piercing for a ring?
Yes, tell the piercer that a ring is your eventual goal before placement is marked. The suitable starting jewellery and timing of a change depend on your anatomy and how the piercing settles.
How do I book and what should I bring?
Use our website booking page to select your piercing and an available appointment. Contact the studio to confirm age, ID and consent requirements for your chosen service before booking. You can also complete our consent form before your visit. Walk-ins are welcome, subject to availability.
