Nose piercing involves creating a small hole in the nose to wear jewellery. The most common types are nostril piercing, septum piercing, and high nostril piercing. A professional piercer uses a sterile hollow needle for precision and safety.

If your nose piercing is new and you don’t like the nose jewelry used, you’re best off waiting at least 6 weeks before changing it for something different. If it’s new and uncomfortable or you’ve got an infection, go back to your piercer and ask them to tend to it. If you simply don’t like your nose piercing and want the hole to grow over, remove your nose jewelry.

Titanium or 14 carat gold are two of the best metals for new nose piercings; other, lesser metals, could cause an allergic reaction. In terms of shape, small nose hoops or twist nose studs are best for new piercings. Nostril screws and fishtails are fun, but you should avoid wearing them while your piercing is still healing.

Implant-grade titanium, surgical steel, 14-karat gold, or niobium are the safest materials for a fresh nose piercing. Your piercer will recommend the appropriate starter jewellery: typically a flat-back stud or seamless ring of the correct gauge and diameter.
