FAQs

18 gauge and 20 gauge posts fit most healed piercings. New piercings may require thicker 16 gauge jewelry during healing.

Measure nostril thickness and add 1mm for comfort. Standard lengths range from 6mm to 10mm depending on anatomy.

Implant-grade titanium offers superior biocompatibility for sensitive skin. Both materials resist tarnishing but titanium weighs less.

Wait minimum six weeks for initial healing. Premature changes increase infection risk and may cause piercing migration.

Flat disc or small ball ends sit flush against the nostril. Avoid large gems during healing to prevent snagging.
