Nose Piercings
(Service Prices Below DO NOT Include Jewelry)
Bridge - The bridge is a horizontal piercing through the glabella (tissue between the brows) or most commonly, the nasion (between the eyes). It ranges from as high as the top of the eyebrows to the bridge of the nose. Multiples are rare but sometimes possible. Most commonly pierced with a 14 or 12 gauge and on rare occasion a 16ga (pending anatomy) with a straight barbell, with or without fancy ends.
Warning: Even if the jewelry is in your field of vision, it won’t make you go cross-eyed. But there are other dangers, including a relatively high rate of rejection and scarring. Far more critical, however, is having insufficient padding between your jewelry and the structures beneath. Direct pressure can cause diminished blood supply to the bone. This may lead to bone density loss. If you don’t have plenty of pliable tissue, a bridge piercing is not advisable. Visible pitted scars are likely if you abandon this piercing.

Rings can be used for initial piercing, however, the ring will need to be oversized to allow for best healing and can typically take 2-3+ months longer for healing.

Septum - Placed in the tissue that divides the nostrils. Most common initial piercing jewelry is a Ring-style, including a clicker or seam-ring variation, or a circular barbell or septum retainer in 16 and 14 gauge with 12 and 10 gauge only for larger anatomy or those that want to fast track stretching to a larger end gauge.
