Nostril
Nostril piercings are a very common and generally considered socially acceptable, meaning you might be able to get away with it at most work places.
It is important to know that nostril piercings should be placed below the alar crease to ensure the best chance of healing, as well as allow for a ring to be worn once the piercing has healed.
There are a number of different jewellery types available for nostrils, cork screws being the most commonly seen. However we insist on a flat back labret post with a low-profile top for the healing period, to ensure safe and comfortable healing.
They are easy to conceal once healed with freckle tops (sand blasted anodised titanium) or glass retainers.

High Nostril
Although still a nostril piercing, high nostrils are pierced above the alar crease and generally have longer healing times to a standard nostril.
Anatomy will play a large part in where the piercings can be placed and how that may affect healing, so we require a consultation with one of our practitioners before your piercing appointment.
Wearing glasses can cause complications, if they slide down and knock the piercings. It is recommended to tighten/adjust glasses before having the piercing done, to prevent irritation occurring during the healing.

Bridge
Bridges are pierced through the soft tissue at the top of the nose tissue, level with the eyes.
Due to the amount of movement in this area, they are more prone to migration (moving slowly to a more shallow placement than initially pierced, often causing excessive scar tissue) and can be tricky to heal. Those with more square and prominent anatomy tend to have a much higher success rate.
Due to the anatomical nature of this piercing, we do require a consultation with one of our practitioners before your piercing appointment.
Wearing glasses can significantly affect the healing, so we recommend bringing your everyday glasses and/or sunglasses to your consultation and piercing appointment. This will allow your practitioner to discuss the viability and placement of your piercing.

Eyebrow
Although eyebrow piercings have surged in popularity over the past few years, they are actually a piercing that can only be healed successfully on a specific type of anatomy.
Generally considered similar in nature to a surface piercing, they are prone to migration (moving slowly to a more shallow placement than initially pierced, often causing excessive scar tissue). Reducing irritation and bumping (even when healed) is crucial to the longevity of an eyebrow piercing.
Due to the anatomical nature of this piercing, we do require a consultation with one of our practitioners before your piercing appointment.
