A nostril piercing goes through one of your nostrils. No surprises there, perhaps, but wait till you dive into the expressive potential that this popular piercing has. First of all, its playful asymmetry sets it apart from the other widespread nose piercing type, the septum. Of course, you’re free to have one in each nostril, but there’s a neat edginess to having a nostril piercing ring in only the right or left side.
Secondly, the options for nostril piercing jewelry are plenty and make a huge impact on your look. The size of your nostril ring alone makes a noticeable difference. People usually don’t wear very large rings, but it’s up to you if you want yours to hug the edge of your nostril closely, or if you would like to leave just a little space in between. A close fit looks more snug and cozy, while the empty space inside a slightly bigger ring has an air of lightness about it. Such details matter, and we haven’t even gotten into jewelry design yet.
What’s more, nostril jewelry is not limited to rings. A lot of people opt for a cute stud or that serves almost as a wearable beauty mark. Instead of a curve wrapping itself around the nose rim, this is a crown sitting on top of the nostril entrance, shining like a tiny sun. Majestic but not at all imposing. In fact, nostril rings and studs alike are pretty subtle jewelry types. Even though they sit right in the middle of your face and never fail to be noticed, they seldom take up a lot of space and cry out for attention. They strike a perfect balance between finesse and audacity, allowing you to experiment with without going overboard.
Last but not least, there’s the placement of your nostril piercing. This of course depends on your anatomy and what is the most comfortable fit for you, but it’s also a matter of style. Not only do you decide which nostril to decorate, but there is also no rule about where exactly to place the jewelry along the span of the nostril edge. The same goes for studs, though they are usually placed in the middle of the side of the nose, but if it’s a high nostril piercing, the stud sits higher up to create a different look.
The variety of placement options combined with the variety in jewelry types also allow you to get multiple nostril piercings, even in the same nostril, and put together a creative composition of your favorite jewelry designs.

Nostril Piercing FAQ
What size are nostril piercings?
The standard thickness of nostril jewelry is about 0.8 mm. This varies with individual anatomy, and if you want a high nostril piercing, it might differ. The nostril piercing hole is usually smaller than most other piercings, but remember to ask your piercer’s advice.
How long does a nostril piercing take to heal?
6-12 months is the healing time of nostril piercings. This is a long time, so you need to be patient and treat your healing piercing to correct aftercare. In case you want both nostrils pierced, do yourself a favor, and let the first one heal completely before getting the second one. Healing both at once is twice the effort, twice the soreness and twice the risk of infection.
How to clean a nostril piercing?
As long as your piercing is still healing, clean it twice every single day. Clean it once with water and delicate soap and later with a saline solution. Always begin by washing your hands before cleaning your piercing. Also, you should leave the piercing completely untouched at all other times to avoid unnecessary risk of infection and general irritation, which will slow down the healing process.
When can you change your nostril piercing?
When the piercer makes your piercing, they also put in your first jewelry. This is necessary for the healing process as it keeps the wound from closing up. For that reason, you should leave it in your piercing throughout the entire healing period, not even taking it out to put something else in. You may only change the jewelry once your piercing is fully healed. However, your patience pays off as you can then wear whatever you like and play around with all the expressive possibilities, such as the unusual design of a .
