Here’s everything you need to know before booking your nostril piercing in NYC.
What Is a Nostril Piercing
A nostril piercing is placed through the soft tissue of the side of the nose.
It can be styled with:
- A minimal stud
- A subtle diamond accent
- A seamless hoop (after healing)
Proper placement is essential for:
- Facial symmetry
- Comfortable healing
- Long-term aesthetic balance
At DOVIANA, we carefully assess your anatomy and style goals before piercing.
Does a Nostril Piercing Hurt
Most clients describe nostril piercing as:
- Quick
- A sharp pinch
- Slight watering of the eyes
- Over within seconds
The procedure itself is fast, and our experienced piercers ensure smooth, controlled placement.
For many, the anticipation feels worse than the piercing itself.
What Jewelry Is Used for Nostril Piercing
At DOVIANA, we offer:
- Implant-grade titanium
- Nickel-free 14K solid gold
- Flat-back studs and seamless hoops (after healing)
- Minimal, timeless designs
For initial piercings, implant-grade titanium and 14K solid gold are often recommended for their lightweight feel and excellent biocompatibility, helping support a smooth healing process. Shop Solid Gold Flat Back | Shop Titanium Flat Back
For clients who prefer an elevated aesthetic from day one, properly manufactured 14K solid gold jewelry offers both refined beauty and long-term durability without compromising safety when selected appropriately for fresh piercings.
Your first piece doesn’t have to be temporary, it can be fine jewelry. If you’re deciding between implant-grade titanium and nickel-free 14K solid gold for your nostril piercing, you can read our full guide on Titanium vs 14K Gold for Piercings to understand which material is best for you.
How Long Does a Nostril Piercing Take to Heal
Typical healing time: 3–6 months
Healing depends on:
