Your nose piercing.
Your placement. Your style.
Whether you want a subtle stud or a more noticeable decorative end, we help you choose a look that suits you. Your visit starts with an anatomy assessment, jewelry selection, and a placement review in the mirror before we begin.
Visit us at 15738 S Bell Rd in Homer Glen, serving nearby Lockport, Lemont, Orland Park, New Lenox, Frankfort, and Mokena. Nostril piercings are $90–$110 with initial jewelry included. We explain your total before starting. See the complete piercing price menu.
Every nostril piercing starts with a placement consultation. We look at your nostril shape, how the jewelry will sit, and whether the requested location works with your anatomy. We mark the placement, show it to you, and proceed only after you approve it.
Nostril Piercing Price: $90–$110
Initial professional jewelry is included. The final price within the range depends on the jewelry selected. Minimum age is 12+. Minor appointments require a parent or legal guardian and appropriate identification.

Nostril piercings can begin to narrow after jewelry is removed, and the timing varies from person to person. If you need to remove jewelry for work, a procedure, or another reason, contact us first so we can discuss jewelry options and the stage of healing.
Nostril piercing
basics.
A nostril piercing is placed through the side of the nose. It is different from a septum piercing. We assess the tissue and placement individually so the jewelry fits your anatomy and the look you want.
A nostril piercing commonly takes several months to heal. Healing varies with anatomy, jewelry fit, pressure, snagging, aftercare, and the individual. The surface can look settled before the piercing channel is fully mature.
Placement and jewelry fit both matter. We take time to find a position that works with your anatomy and choose professional initial jewelry appropriate for a healing nostril piercing.
Initial post length is chosen to allow for expected swelling. As swelling settles, many nostril piercings benefit from a professional downsize so the jewelry fits more closely and is less likely to snag. Timing depends on the piercing and how it is healing.
A note on jewelry removal: Nostril piercings may narrow after jewelry is removed, including after they appear healed. If jewelry does not slide in comfortably, do not force it. Contact us for a professional jewelry check.
How we find
your perfect spot.
Nostril placement isn't one-size-fits-all. We assess before we mark — every time.
What we
pierce with.
Initial jewelry is selected for the nostril piercing, fit, anatomy, and healing needs. Implant-grade titanium and solid 14k gold options are available.
Implant-grade titanium is lightweight and commonly used for initial body jewelry. Available finishes depend on the jewelry piece and inventory.
Solid 14k gold options depend on availability and suitability for your piercing. Ask us about the total price for your chosen gold piece before we begin.
A flat-back labret is a common initial option. The flat disc sits inside the nostril while the decorative end sits on the outside.
We start nostril piercings with a threadless flat-back stud. If your goal is a hoop, tell us during the placement consultation. We can assess a change to a ring once the piercing has healed.
Want a different look later? We can help you choose decorative ends or assess a hoop once your piercing is ready. Explore professional jewelry changes or browse our jewelry information.
