Quick answer: A safe nose piercing means a sterile, single-use needle, surgical-grade titanium or gold jewellery, precise placement that suits your face shape, and a clean saline aftercare routine. At Best Body Piercing in Surajmal Vihar, Delhi, every nose piercing — nostril, high nostril, septum, bridge, double or Austin bar — is done with that exact standard.
A nose piercing is one of those small details that shifts how you see yourself in the mirror. For some clients it is a quiet first piercing — a single stud that sits gracefully on the nostril. For others it is a considered statement: a septum clicker, a double nostril stack or a bold bridge. Whichever way you are leaning, the experience at Best Body Piercing is built around three things — hygiene, honest placement advice, and a result that still looks right six months later.
The studio in Surajmal Vihar, Delhi is trusted by clients across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad for professional needle-based piercing done with care. Our piercers use sterile single-use needles opened in front of you, autoclaved tools, and implant-grade titanium or solid gold jewellery for every procedure. Piercing guns are never used — they crush tissue, cannot be properly sterilised, and have no place on a nose.
From the moment you walk in, the difference is in the room itself — clean, calm, and unhurried. The team takes time to talk through your preferences, look at the angle of your nose, and suggest jewellery that suits both your features and how the piercing will actually heal. Whether you are coming in for your first nostril stud or considering something more involved, the session moves at your pace.
At Best Body Piercing, a nose piercing is treated as a small but lasting decision — not a quick procedure. The studio in Surajmal Vihar, Delhi is trusted by clients from Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad for professional piercings done with care, precision and uncompromised hygiene.

Choosing the right nose piercing is about face shape, anatomy and personal taste — not just trend. At Best Body Piercing, every placement is performed with care and precision for clients from Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad. Here are the most common options with a short note on each to help you decide.
If you are unsure which style suits you, our piercers in Surajmal Vihar offer friendly consultations — we will consider your face shape, lifestyle and healing preferences to recommend the right option.
The nostril piercing is the most loved and most versatile nose piercing — equally at home as a delicate first piercing, a traditional cultural choice, or a styled statement piece. It sits on the curve of the nostril and works with almost every face shape. Whether you are looking for a small stud, a fine hoop, or a sparkling gem, the placement gives you space to express yourself without overcomplicating the look.
Clients across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad book nostril piercings with us as their first piercing, as a careful addition to an existing stack, or as a return to a piercing they once had and want done properly this time. The session uses a sterile single-use needle and a flat-back labret in implant-grade titanium — clean, comfortable and built to heal well.
The studio in Surajmal Vihar, Delhi is trusted across Delhi NCR for unhurried sessions, hygiene that is genuinely non-negotiable, and an honest eye for jewellery choice. If you would like to pair your nostril piercing with an ear lobe or helix piercing in the same visit, that is also a common ask — the two heal on overlapping timelines and the combination photographs well.
A double nostril piercing is for clients who want a more considered, layered look without straying too far from a classic nostril. You can place two studs on the same side for a stacked effect, or one stud on each side for a symmetrical, balanced finish — each version has a slightly different mood.
At Best Body Piercing, our piercers across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad take time to mark both points so the second piercing sits in proportion to the first. The session uses sterilised single-use needles and implant-grade titanium jewellery, with hypoallergenic options for sensitive skin. You can pick a matched pair of studs, a stud-and-hoop combination, or something more sculptural depending on the look you want.
The double nostril is also a popular second piercing for clients who already love their first nostril stud and want to expand the styling without committing to a cartilage placement like high nostril. Healing is similar to a single nostril — roughly 2 to 4 months — and the aftercare routine doubles up cleanly.
The septum piercing is one of the cleanest-healing and most versatile nose placements. Done correctly, it passes through the soft "sweet spot" of tissue just inside the nostrils — not through cartilage — which is why so many clients are surprised at how manageable the actual moment feels. The healing window is also shorter than most expect: usually 6 to 8 weeks for the surface.
The septum suits a wide range of styles. A small clicker reads as polished and considered; a thicker captive ring reads bolder; a horseshoe with subtle ends gives you the option to flip it up out of sight whenever you need to. Our piercers in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad walk through the jewellery options honestly, including which gauges and shapes will heal well on your specific anatomy.
Hygiene is the same as every other procedure at the studio: sterile single-use needle, fresh gloves, autoclaved jewellery, and full aftercare guidance. If you are debating whether to start with a nostril or a septum, the direct-answer sections below cover the trade-offs in detail.
The bridge piercing — sometimes called the Earl piercing — runs horizontally across the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. It is a surface piercing through the pinch of skin at the top of the nose, not through bone or cartilage, and the result is striking, symmetrical and unmistakably modern.
Bridge piercings are anatomy-dependent. The placement works best on noses with a flatter bridge and enough loose skin to support a straight barbell without constant pressure. Our piercers in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad assess this carefully during the consultation — if your bridge is not built for it, we will say so honestly rather than push the placement.
The procedure uses sterile single-use needles and a straight barbell in implant-grade titanium, sized so the jewellery sits flush without pulling at the skin. Healing usually takes 8 to 12 weeks. Like all surface piercings, bridges respond well to consistent saline aftercare and can be sensitive to glasses pressing on the area.
A high nostril piercing is placed noticeably higher on the nose than a standard nostril — through thicker cartilage closer to the bridge. The look is more sculptural and modern, often chosen as a second piercing once a standard nostril has fully settled. With a small flat-back stud or a delicate gem, it reads as refined and intentional.
Because the high nostril sits in cartilage, the healing window is longer — typically 6 to 9 months. It is not a placement for clients who want to change jewellery quickly. Anatomy matters too: the piercer will check that there is enough cartilage thickness and a clean angle for the piercing to sit symmetrically.
Our piercers across Delhi NCR perform high nostril piercings with sterile single-use needles and implant-grade titanium labret studs. If you are layering the high nostril above an existing standard nostril, we will mark the placement so the two pieces read as a deliberate pair rather than separate piercings that happen to be on the same side.
The third eye piercing is a vertical surface piercing placed between the eyebrows, just above the bridge of the nose. It is one of the most symbolic placements — associated with intuition, focus and self-awareness — and visually it is a true statement piece.
Because the third eye is a surface piercing, anatomy and aftercare matter more than usual. The area has thinner skin and constant micro-movement from facial expression, which makes placement and jewellery sizing critical to clean healing. Our piercers carefully check whether your forehead anatomy will hold the piercing comfortably before going ahead.
The procedure uses sterile single-use needles and a curved or surface barbell in implant-grade titanium, sized so the jewellery does not pull at the skin. Healing takes 6 to 12 weeks. Clients across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad choose the third eye as a personal, considered piercing rather than a casual one — and it shows in how settled it looks once healed.
The Austin bar piercing is one of the rarest and most distinctive nose placements — a horizontal barbell that runs through the tip of the nose, without passing through the septum. The result is striking and unmistakably modern, and because the piercing does not touch the cartilage of the septum, the healing dynamic is different from what most clients expect.
Austin bar piercings are highly anatomy-dependent. The tip of the nose needs to be shaped in a way that allows a straight barbell to sit comfortably without distorting the nostril or pressing against the skin. Our piercers in Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad assess this carefully — if your anatomy isn't built for an Austin bar, we will recommend a related placement rather than force it.
The procedure uses sterile single-use needles and a precisely sized straight barbell. Healing typically takes 8 to 12 weeks with consistent saline aftercare. Because of its rarity and demand on placement skill, the Austin bar is one of the placements that benefits most from a piercer who has done many of them — which is why our consultations for this one tend to run a little longer.
Quick answer: A single nostril piercing is almost always the best first nose piercing — easy to place, heals in 2 to 4 months, sits naturally with most face shapes, and works with every jewellery style from delicate stud to fine hoop. Septum and bridge are excellent placements but heal slower and need more anatomical assessment, which makes them harder as a first-ever nose piercing.
If you are thinking about a nose piercing for the first time, the question of which placement to start with matters more than people assume. The right first piercing makes the experience easy, the healing forgiving, and the styling flexible. The wrong first piercing can leave you frustrated, slow-healing and unsure whether to add anything else later.
The single nostril is the safe, classic starting point. It works with delicate studs, small hoops, gems and traditional pieces; it heals in 2 to 4 months; and it suits almost every face shape. If you are unsure which side to pick, our piercers will look at how you naturally tilt your head, where your features balance, and recommend the side that flatters your face shape.
The septum is also a reasonable first nose piercing, especially if you want something that can be hidden quickly with a flip-up retainer. The placement passes through soft tissue rather than cartilage, the healing is surprisingly quick (6 to 8 weeks for the surface), and the jewellery options are wide. The catch: it is more visible than a small nostril stud, so think about whether you are ready for that immediately.
What we generally suggest against as a first nose piercing: high nostril, bridge, third eye and Austin bar. None of these are bad placements — they look excellent when settled — but each one has longer healing windows, stricter aftercare demands, and stronger anatomy requirements. They reward experience with piercing healing rather than serving as a clean first experience.
If you are also debating between a nose piercing and another placement entirely, our ear piercing page covers the lobe and cartilage options side by side. Many first-time clients book a single nostril and a single lobe in the same visit, since both heal on overlapping timelines.
Quick answer: Standard nostril: 2 to 4 months. Double nostril: same as single — 2 to 4 months. Septum: 6 to 8 weeks on the surface. High nostril: 6 to 9 months. Bridge, Austin bar and third eye: 8 to 12 weeks. Healing depends on placement, blood supply, anatomy, and how consistent you are with saline aftercare.
Healing time for a nose piercing depends on three things: how much tissue the piercing passes through, how much friction and movement the area gets daily, and how disciplined you are with cleaning during the healing window. The fastest-healing nose piercing isn't necessarily the smallest one, and the slowest isn't always the boldest.
Septum piercings heal surprisingly fast on the surface — typically 6 to 8 weeks. The placement runs through the soft sweet spot of tissue between the nostrils, which has rich blood supply. Full internal healing takes longer, but most clients can change jewellery within a couple of months.
Standard nostril and double nostril piercings settle in 2 to 4 months. The nostril is a small piece of cartilage with reasonable blood flow, but it is also a placement that gets touched, bumped against masks or pillows, and exposed to makeup. Discipline with aftercare matters more here than people expect.
Bridge, Austin bar and third eye piercings are all surface placements and heal in roughly 8 to 12 weeks. Their healing depends heavily on jewellery sizing — the piercer will choose a length that allows for initial swelling without pressing against the skin. Pressure from glasses, sunglasses or masks can extend the healing window if not managed.
High nostril piercings are the slowest of all common nose placements — typically 6 to 9 months. The placement sits in thicker cartilage with less blood supply, which slows the process significantly. Do not change jewellery during this window, and avoid sleeping with the pierced side pressed into a pillow.
For comparison, oral piercings like the tongue or labret surface-heal in 4 to 6 weeks because the mouth has excellent blood supply, while ear cartilage placements can take 6 to 12 months. The full aftercare guide covers each piercing type in detail.
Quick answer: The septum is often described as the least painful nose piercing despite its bold look — the soft sweet spot passes cleanly with a quick pinch. The bridge, Austin bar and high nostril register as more intense because they pass through denser tissue. Most clients describe the moment of any nose piercing as a quick sting followed by reflex tears — which are a nerve response, not a sign of actual pain.
One thing worth knowing before any nose piercing: your eyes will probably water. That is not pain — it is the trigeminal nerve in your nose reacting to the piercing. Reflex tears happen even with the least painful placements, and they pass within seconds. Clients sometimes apologise for them, but they are completely normal and we just keep a tissue close by.
Least painful: The septum is consistently described as quicker than expected. The needle passes through soft tissue, not cartilage, and the sensation fades almost instantly. Many clients say the septum felt easier than they had braced for.
Mild to moderate: Standard nostril and double nostril. These pass through a small piece of cartilage, so the sensation is a sharper pinch than the septum, but the placement is small and the moment is over fast.
Moderate: High nostril. The cartilage here is thicker, so the needle takes a heartbeat longer to pass through. It is a clear pinch, not a long sensation, but it sits above the standard nostril in intensity.
More intense: Bridge, Austin bar and third eye. These are surface placements through denser tissue at the front of the face, and the dense skin gives more resistance. The moment is still brief — a clear, short pinch — but clients usually rank these higher than the nostril or septum.
A few things help with every nose piercing regardless of placement: eat something within the hour before you come in (a nose piercing on an empty stomach is the most common reason people feel faint), stay off alcohol and blood thinners in the 24 hours before, and breathe out slowly as the needle moves. Our piercers walk you through the breathing before any procedure — it makes more difference than most people expect.
A nose piercing is often the placement that introduces clients to the studio — but rarely the last piece of work they have done here. Many of our regulars started with a single nostril and gradually added ear, oral or surface placements over time, drawn by the same balance of clean technique, honest jewellery advice and unhurried sessions. If you are already thinking about what's next, here is the rest of what the studio offers across Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad.
Every service at Best Body Piercing follows the same standards you have seen on this page: sterile single-use needles, surgical-grade jewellery, personalised placement consultation and full aftercare guidance.

Getting your nose pierced is the easy part. How you look after the piercing afterwards is what decides how cleanly it heals. Proper nose piercing aftercare prevents infection, reduces irritation and helps the piercing settle exactly as it should. Whether it is a simple nostril or something more involved like a bridge or Austin bar, consistent care is what gets you a clean result.
Healing varies from person to person. Be patient and consistent rather than rushing to change jewellery.
It is normal to experience slight redness, tenderness or a little clear-to-white discharge in the first few days — that is your body's natural healing response. If you notice increasing swelling, green or yellow discharge, warmth, or severe pain, contact the studio for guidance.

Here are the most common questions clients from Delhi, Noida, Gurgaon, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida and Faridabad ask before booking a nose piercing at Best Body Piercing.
Most clients describe it as a quick pinch that lasts a second or two, often followed by reflex tears — which are a nerve response, not a sign of actual pain. The standard nostril and septum are usually quicker than they sound; the bridge and Austin bar feel sharper because the tissue is denser.
Standard nostril piercings settle in 2 to 4 months. High nostril takes 6 to 9 months. Septum heals on the surface in 6 to 8 weeks. Bridge, Austin bar and third eye take 8 to 12 weeks.
Yes. The studio uses sterile single-use needles opened in front of you, autoclaved tools, fresh gloves and surgical-grade jewellery. Hygiene standards are non-negotiable here.
Implant-grade titanium is the safest choice for fresh piercings — hypoallergenic, lightweight and well-tolerated by healing skin. 14k to 18k solid gold and surgical stainless steel are also good. Avoid plated or nickel-base pieces during the healing window.
Yes. You can choose from the studio's range or bring your own piece — the piercer will check whether it is safe for a fresh piercing before fitting it.
The studio offers standard nostril, double nostril, high nostril, septum, bridge (Earl), Austin bar and third eye placements. The piercer will help you choose based on your face shape and anatomy.
Clients aged 16 and 17 require parental consent in person and valid photo ID for both child and guardian. Clients 18 and over need their own valid photo ID.
Clean twice daily with sterile saline solution. Wash hands before touching the piercing. Skip alcohol, hydrogen peroxide and harsh antiseptics. Keep makeup, sunscreen and lotions away during the healing window. Details are in the full aftercare guide.
No. The initial jewellery should stay in place for the entire healing window. Removing it early can close the channel within hours, trap bacteria, or cause re-irritation when re-inserted.
Avoid swimming pools, lakes and the sea for 3 to 4 weeks. Skip makeup and sunscreen near the area. Do not sleep on the pierced side or wear masks that press against the nose. Do not twist or rotate the jewellery.
Most piercings close cleanly with minimal mark, but it depends on skin type, how long the piercing was worn, and whether it had any irritation history. Cartilage placements like high nostril sometimes leave a faint dot.
Yes. Implant-grade titanium is the safest choice for sensitive skin — it is biocompatible and free from common reactive metals. Mention any allergies or skin conditions during the consultation so the piercer can plan the jewellery accordingly.
Do not remove the jewellery — that traps infection inside. Clean the area with sterile saline and contact the studio. The team will assess what you describe and arrange an in-person check if needed. For severe symptoms, consult a medical provider.
Standard nostril piercings start at ₹650. Septum, bridge, high nostril, double nostril and Austin bar placements are priced higher based on the jewellery and complexity. Call +91 92665 55507 for exact pricing.
