Nose Piercing
Nose
A nostril piercing is a timeless classic that suits almost every style, from subtle and minimal to bold and expressive. Whether you choose a delicate stud or a statement hoop once healed, it's one of the most versatile facial piercings available.
Location
-
The outer side of the nostril.
-
Can be pierced on either side, or both for a symmetrical look.
Tissue Type
-
Soft tissue (nostril).
Healing
-
Initial healing: 8–12 weeks.
-
Full healing: 4–6 months.
Pain Level
★★☆☆☆
-
A quick, sharp pinch with mild watering of the eyes. Most clients find it over very quickly.
Stacked Nose
A stacked nose piercing features two or more nostril piercings placed close together, creating a beautifully layered look. Whether worn with matching studs, mixed jewellery or tiny hoops once healed, stacked nostrils allow you to build a unique and personalised style.
Location
-
Two or more piercings placed on the same nostril.
-
Positioned to create a balanced, layered appearance that complements your anatomy.

Soft tissue (nostril).
Healing
-
Initial healing: 8–12 weeks.

If multiple piercings are performed together, healing may take slightly longer.
Pain Level
★★★☆☆
-
Each piercing is quick, although having multiple piercings in one appointment can increase temporary discomfort.
Septum Piercing
The septum piercing passes through the soft tissue just beneath the nasal cartilage, often referred to as the "sweet spot." It's an incredibly versatile piercing that can be worn with a subtle ring, decorative jewellery or discreetly flipped up inside the nose when required.
Location
-
The soft tissue beneath the nasal septum, between the nostrils.
-
Pierced through the natural "sweet spot" rather than the cartilage itself.
Tissue Type
-
Soft tissue (not cartilage).
Healing
-
Initial healing: 6–8 weeks.
-
Full healing: 3–6 months.
Pain Level
★★☆☆☆
-
A brief pinch followed by watering of the eyes. When correctly placed through the sweet spot, most clients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is.
