Nostril Piercing
The nostril piercing is the most widely used nose piercing, and can be found throughout centuries, cultures, and age. The piercing goes through cartilage tissue simililar to the lobe, making this a fairly simple facial piercing procedure.
Healing time: 3 – 12 months
Nostril piercing – limitless possibilities
With nostril piercings, the piercing goes through the right or left cartilage tissue of the nose. Whether you opt for a single or double piercing, on one or both sides – your choice of the position, number and arrangement of the piercings expresses your own personal style to the world. Piercings that sit a little higher are known as high-nostril piercings. SABOTEUR has the widest range of shapes and sizes of studs to adorn the outside of the nostril. Select from a gleaming yet minimalist nose ring or hoop embellished with sparkling gemstones.
The SABOTEUR Piercing Collection includes a plethora of designs and styles to let you create a look that reflects your own personal body artistry. Discover our range of small nose piercings hand-crafted in 18-carat white, yellow or rose gold in our online shop and in stores – mono-coloured, bi-coloured or embellished with gemstones. The designs are enhanced with white and black (heated) diamonds, as well as emeralds, sapphires, rubies and other gemstones. Freshwater cultured pearls exude their powerful lustre in timeless nose piercings. And if you opt for a double-nostril piercing, you can create customised fashion designs by wearing contrasting or coordinating designs together. Unleash your creativity by combining nose piercing studs with septum piercing hoops and rings.
Perfect healing process – SABOTEUR aftercare
When you are ready for your piercing ceremony, we will first thoroughly disinfect and mark the entry position on the outside of your nostril. The piercer will then pierce through your nose with a sterile one-time-use needle. A receiving tube provides counter pressure and protects the delicate septum. The piercer will then insert the nose piercing stud or nose ring piercing.
You may feel a little stinging pain during the nostril piercing, as this area is sensitive and a certain pressure needs to be applied during piercing. There may be some swelling and tenderness around the entry point and your skin may feel hot. This is normal and subsides after a short time.
SABOTEUR piercers are masters of their profession and are on hand to ensure that your nose piercing heals perfectly. They will provide you with aftercare products and explain our recommended aftercare:
- It usually takes a minimum of 3 months for nose piercings to heal. We recommend refraining from sports, swimming pools, solaria and saunas for 4 weeks after piercing.
