The double nose piercing trend
A single nose stud on one nostril is the most popular choice, but not the only one. A double nose piercing is any combination of two nose piercings, whether they be one on each nostril, on the same side, or stacked on top of each other. This has become a popular trend in recent years, and the best part is we offer a double nose piercing service so you can get two done on the same day!

What are the jewellery options for a nose piercing?
Different types of nose jewellery include pigtail or curved studs, L-shape studs, labret flat back studs or hinged rings. We pierce noses with 20 gauge jewellery, but 18 gauge is also quite common if you prefer a thicker look. 20 gauge is the thinnest and most dainty nose jewellery. For females, the most popular nose jewellery is thin gold or surgical steel hoops, or bezel and claw set crystal nose studs. Most men prefer the look of surgical steel or black hinged rings in the nose.
What do I do if my jewellery falls out of my nose piercing?
If your jewellery falls out, ensure you replace it immediately to keep your piercing open. If your piercing is fresh (less than 2 – 4 months old), the hole can close up in a matter of minutes or even seconds. If you’ve had a nose piercing for less than a year, you can expect it to close up or the piercing to shrink significantly within a few hours or days. The inner nostril is lined with mucous membranes that seal up quickly once the jewellery has been removed even if you’ve had it for years. You should never force jewellery through a shrunk or closed piercing, call your local Essential Beauty salon instead for help!

Other Healing Tips & Tricks
- Avoid friction from clothing, towels & loofahs
- Avoid excessive motion of the area, playing with the jewellery, knocking the piercing, sleeping on your piercing and over cleaning. – Be very careful with towels and pulling your clothes off, as you can rip your jewellery out of your nose (ouch!)
- If you toss and turn while sleeping we’d recommend sleeping with a Band-Aid over your jewellery to prevent it falling out
