The most popular
piercing we do.
Nostril piercings are one of our most requested services because the placement can be subtle, bold, or built into a larger facial-jewelry look. We start by looking at your anatomy, discussing the side and placement you want, and selecting appropriate initial jewelry before anything is pierced.
If you are comparing nose piercing studios near Homer Glen, the decision usually comes down to placement, jewelry, price, and whether you feel comfortable with the studio. Nostril piercings at The Piercing Boutique are $90–$110 with initial professional jewelry included. 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 passes through the soft tissue of the nostril wall — not cartilage, not the septum. When placed correctly, the jewelry sits in the natural curve of your nostril and looks intentional from day one.
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 are available for clients who want a gold look from the initial piercing, depending on the specific jewelry and fit.
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 generally begin nostril piercings with a stud because it offers a stable starting setup for healing. A ring can be considered later when the piercing is ready.
After healing and your downsize, we have a full selection of decorative threadless ends, gem sets, opals, and shaped pieces to upgrade your look.
