There are tons of different ways that your nose and nasal region can be pierced—this includes well-known piercing options, like nostril and septum, as well as lesser-known ones, like the Austin bar, nasallang, septril, and rhino piercings. We’ll walk you through a list of the different nasal piercings out there, along with some aftercare tips for your next nose piercing. We’ll even provide a little info and context about where these stylish piercings originated, so you'll be in the know.
Things You Should Know
- Nostril piercings are the most common nose piercing out there. High nostril piercings, while still in the nostril, are closer to the bridge of your nose.
- Septum piercings go through the nose’s septum, or the cartilage wall that splits the nostrils.
- Austin bar and nasallang piercings both go horizontally through the nose. Austin bar piercings only go through the nose’s tip, while nasal ing piercings go through the septum.
