Nostril Piercing FAQ
Q: How painful is the Nostril piercing?
It's a quick, sharp pinch (4/10) through the cartilage and skin. The eyes may water briefly due to a nerve reflex, which is completely normal.Q: Can I be pierced with a hoop?
No. We start all Nostril piercings with a high-quality labret stud to ensure stable healing and minimise rotation. Switching to a hoop too early causes irritation bumps.Q: When can I switch to a hoop?
You should wait for the full healing period of 6–12 months and have your piercer confirm the piercing is settled before switching to a ring.Q: What if I get an irritation bump near the piercing?
This is common. Do not pick at it. It is usually caused by movement, trauma, or excess moisture. Increase your sterile saline application and focus on keeping the piercing bone dry, especially after showering.
