how much is a nose piercing

A typical professional nose piercing usually costs somewhere between 30 and 80 in your local currency, but it can be lower or higher depending on where you go and what jewelry you choose.

Quick Scoop: How Much Is a Nose Piercing?

For most reputable studios, you can expect:

  • In the US: about 30–80 USD for a standard nostril piercing with basic implant‑grade jewelry included.
  • In the UK: about £30–60 for a professional nose piercing, with many studios suggesting you budget £55–75 to include good titanium jewelry and aftercare solution.
  • Septum or more complex nose piercings: often a bit more, roughly 50–100 (or more) depending on complexity and the piercer’s experience.

Those numbers usually include:

  • The piercer’s fee
  • Basic implant‑grade jewelry (often titanium or surgical steel)
  • Initial setup and basic aftercare guidance

Extra costs can include:

  • Upgrading to gold or designer jewelry
  • Aftercare sprays/solutions
  • Future jewelry changes or follow‑up visits

Mini breakdown (nostril vs septum)

  • Nostril piercing: often at the lower end of the range (30–80).
  • Septum or double nostril: tends to sit higher (around 45–100+), because they can be more complex and may require a more experienced piercer.

A good rule of thumb: if a studio seems dramatically cheaper than everyone else, double‑check their hygiene, licensing, and jewelry quality—this is a small medical procedure going through your face, not just a fashion purchase.

Little “forum style” note

“Most people on piercing forums say: pay more for a clean, professional studio and implant‑grade jewelry, not for the cheapest deal. Your nose will thank you later.”
