High Nostril Piercing

What is high nostril piercing

Nostril piercing can never go out of fashion for its umpteen variations and availability of a plethora of stylish nose jewelry. Taking some inspiration from it, an unusual style of nose piercing referred to as high nostril piercing is generating curiosity among the body modification enthusiasts lately. Placed near the nose bridge either on one side or both sides of the nose, its location is a bit above the regular nostril piercing.

High nostril piercing procedure

Since it’s slightly different from standard nose piercing, opt for a well-known piercing salon to get the piercing safely done. The piercing point is marked on the nose with a surgical pen and using an 18 gauge needle (the size may vary) and a receiving tube, the perforation is made, and completed inserting the jewelry. Since the region is comparatively thicker, a caliper is most often used to bend the jewelry for easier placement. Expect some pain and swelling for few days as these are the signs of healing.
