Bridge Piercing FAQ
Q: Is the Bridge piercing through bone?
No. The Bridge piercing goes through the loose skin and tissue over the bridge of the nose between the eyes, avoiding the nasal bone.Q: What is the main risk with a Bridge piercing?
Rejection. Because it is a surface piercing, the body may naturally try to push the jewelry out. We use precise placement and surface barbells to minimise this risk.Q: Will I go cross-eyed looking at the jewelry?
Most clients quickly adapt and stop noticing the jewelry in their peripheral vision. If you find it distracting, we recommend smaller, more discreet ends.Q: Can I wear glasses with a Bridge piercing?
If you wear glasses, we must check that your frames do not rub or put pressure on the piercing site. You may need to wear contact lenses during the initial healing.
Bridge Piercing Aftercare
Average Healing Time: 8–12 weeks.
Cleaning: Follow the Universal Cleaning Instructions (Saline or Water Rinse) twice daily.
Specific Care: Keep the area entirely free of makeup and facial moisturizers.
What to Avoid:
Ensure the nose pads or frames of your glasses do not rub against the jewelry.
Minimize frowning or scrunching the nose, which moves the skin around the piercing.
Monitor the piercing for signs of migration (jewelry moving closer to the surface). If this occurs, contact us immediately.
