Nose Piercing in Nairobi, Kenya

A nose piercing is a popular form of body modification that involves the perforation of the nose cartilage or the soft tissue on the side of the nostril. 

Do you intend to have a nose piercing?  There are several places on your nose that can be pierced:

  • the fleshy skin covering your nostrils, or the nares
  • The septum, the tougher cartilage between your nostrils
  • The soft flesh at the bottom of your septum below the cartilage

It’s important to ensure your nose piercing is performed safely, and that you are aware of how to take care of the piercing once you get it.

Nose Piercings

Whether you choose a simple septum ring or a big one, a nose piercing may completely change the way you look. Your ability to be creative with the placement of a nose piercing is one of the most enjoyable elements of getting one. In terms of pain and recovery time, a nose piercing is also among the easiest to handle.

The nose can be pierced in several ways. The cartilaginous structure that covers the nostril, known as the nasal ala, is the most common place for nose piercings. Some are through the columella, the skin that covers the nasal septum, another cartilaginous structure that divides the nose’s right and left sides “known also as your septum. Additionally, there are piercings along the nose’s bridge and Third Eye.

When choosing the design of your nose piercing, have fun and express your creativity. The nose will be marked with a tiny dot by your piercer to indicate the location of the needle insertion. Use this chance to check that the location’s aesthetic appeals to you. If you want to wear a ring, you can test the position with a fake hoop nose ring before getting your genuine piercing.

Types of Nose Piercings:
  • Nostril Piercing: This is the most common type of nose piercing. It involves piercing the tissue of the nostril, typically on one side, and inserting a small stud or hoop.
  • Septum Piercing: A septum piercing goes through the soft cartilage that separates the nostrils. Jewelry options for septum piercings include horseshoe-shaped rings and septum clickers.
  • Bridge Piercing: This piercing is placed horizontally through the bridge of the nose, between the eyes. It’s less common than nostril or septum piercings.

Nose Piercing Process

Choosing a Reputable Piercing Studio
  • Start by researching and selecting a reputable piercing studio with experienced piercers who follow strict hygiene and safety standards. Look for recommendations and read reviews to ensure you choose a trustworthy establishment.
Consultation
  • When you arrive at Rebel Inks Tattoo Removal and Piercings Parlour studio, you’ll typically have a consultation with  one of our piercer. During this discussion, you can express your preferences for jewelry and the type of nose piercing you want.
  • Your piercer will examine your nose to ensure it’s suitable for piercing and discuss any potential risks and complications.
Preparation
  • Before the piercing, your piercer will thoroughly clean the area around your nose using an antiseptic solution.
  • They may use a sterile marker or pen to mark the precise spot where the piercing will go. The placement will be centered and aligned with your preferences.
Piercing
  • With the markings in place, your piercer will use a sterilized needle to create a hole through the tissue of your nose. The needle is typically hollow and cleanly removes a small section of tissue to create a hole.
  • Immediately after creating the hole, the chosen jewelry (usually a small stud or hoop) will be inserted into the newly created piercing.
Final Adjustments
  • Your piercer will ensure that the jewelry is securely in place and properly positioned.
  • They will provide you with instructions on how to care for your new piercing, including aftercare guidelines.
Aftercare Instructions
  • After the piercing, your piercer will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions. Following these instructions diligently is crucial for a successful healing process.
  • Aftercare typically involves cleaning the piercing with a saline solution and avoiding certain products, such as alcohol-based cleansers, which can irritate the piercing.

Pain and Healing Time

When it comes to body alteration, everyone has a varied threshold for pain, although nose piercings are associated with minor discomfort. After the piercing, you should anticipate feeling a slight bruise. Your eyes will briefly start to water since your nose and eye bones are connected. Otherwise, it will feel like a bit of a pinch. Be extra careful around your face because the pain should go away in a day unless you snag it on something like your T-shirt or washcloth. Try your best not to not to sleep on it

Nose Piercing Healing Process

Immediate Post-Piercing (Days 1-2):
  • After getting a nose piercing, it’s normal to experience some initial swelling, redness, tenderness, and mild bleeding. These symptoms should subside within a few days.
  • Your nose may feel warm or sore to the touch.
  • Your piercer will provide aftercare instructions, which you should follow diligently.
nose-piercing
Week 1-2:
  • Swelling and tenderness should start to decrease during this time.
  • You may continue to experience some redness around the piercing site.
  • Continue to clean the piercing with a saline solution as instructed by your piercer.
  • Avoid touching the jewelry or piercing with dirty hands.
Week 3-6:
  • By this point, the initial healing phase is usually well underway.
  • Swelling should have subsided significantly.
  • The redness should continue to fade, and the area should look less irritated.
  • You may still experience some mild discomfort or sensitivity.
  • Continue cleaning the piercing, but the frequency may decrease.
Week 6-12:
  • Most nose piercings will be fully healed within this time frame. However, individual healing times can vary.
  • Swelling and tenderness should be completely gone.
  • The piercing may still be somewhat sensitive to pressure, so be gentle when changing jewelry or handling the area.
  • Continue cleaning the piercing regularly until it is fully healed.
After 3-6 Months:
  • After the initial healing period, you can consider changing your nose jewelry if desired.
  • It’s crucial to wait until the piercing is fully healed before switching to different jewelry. Consult with your piercer if you have any doubts.
Full Healing (6 Months to a Year):
  • Nose piercings may take anywhere from six months to a year to heal fully, depending on individual factors and aftercare practices.
  • Once fully healed, the piercing should feel comfortable, and you should be able to wear a wide variety of nose jewelry styles without issues.
  • Even after complete healing, continue to practice good hygiene and clean your nose jewelry regularly.

How to Care for Your Nose Piercing

Gold and yellow colored ‘crust’ may form around the piercing, this is a possibility with any piercing. To care for any yellow discharge you might encounter, try not to pick at it. Instead, spray the area with saline solution.

To prevent a thick scab from forming, Try using saline for up to several weeks after your piercing. Any skin piercing procedure or injury carries the risk of infection because the skin’s barrier is broken, because the inside of the nose is a mucous membrane, it can be prone to infection. The inside of the nose is a damp, warm place where bacteria grows. Try using a solution of white vinegar, known for its antibacterial properties, diluted with water to calm the odor.

In general:
  • Before you touch the jewelry on your nose or the piercing, wash your hands.
  • Use a gauze pad that has been soaked in saline solution to gently clean your nose. With a brand-new paper towel, pat the area dry.
  • Don’t swim in any potentially unclean water until your nose has healed. Avoid hot tubs, lakes, rivers, and swimming pools.
  • Avoid applying antimicrobial ointments to the area.
  • Move your nose jewelry only when it has healed.
  • Use clean bedding to sleep.
  • Showers are preferable to baths.

What Kind of Jewelry Is Used to Pierce a Nose?

Your best option is to get a stud for your first piercing. For people who might be inclined to rotate a ring, this often results in less instant stress and is a little more challenging to play with. A gemstone with a thickness of 1.5 mm (sparkle) to 3 mm should be found in studs (bling).

L-Shape: A nose ring with a post bent at a 90-degree angle.

A two-piece jewelry design known as “Press Fit” involves inserting a hollow post from the inside of the nostril and pressing a gem or “top” into the post from above. This design is frequently the most adaptable because the tops may be readily replaced, allowing one to change their appearance without removing the part that extends through the hole.

Nostril Screws: Resembling an L-shape, nostril screws are pieces of jewelry that are curved or twisted to fit the interior of your nose’s natural curve. Compared to a typical L-Shape design, the jewelry is more comfortable and secure thanks to this particular bend.

Pin: A straight post that is bent explicitly into an L shape by your piercer to fit your nose. Ideal for people who find other options too large.

Hoop Nose Rings or Captive Bead Rings: A ball closure hoop, or captive bead ring (CBR), that stays in place with a captive ball.

Continuous Ring Hoop Nose rings are rings that completely encircle the nostril. To open and close, twist in opposing directions up and down.

What Jewelry Material Is Used for a Nose Piercing?

Metals that are less likely to trigger a reaction are best suited for piercing, these include titanium and implant-grade steel. Try avoiding nickel, which is one of the most common causes of allergic contact dermatitis. Allergic contact dermatitis presents as a red, itchy, scaly, swollen rash. At Rebel Inks Tattoo Kenya, we favor solid 14K gold or titanium.

Cost of a Nose Piercing in Nairobi, Kenya

The cost of a nose piercing can vary depending on several factors, including the location, the reputation of the piercing studio, the expertise of the piercer, the quality of the jewelry used, and any additional services provided. 

Here are some factors that can influence the cost:

  • Piercing Studio: The cost may vary depending on the location and the standard of living in that area. Rebel Inks Tattoos, Tattoo Removal, and Body Piercings Parlour is located in the heart of the Central Business Disrict (CBD) in Nairobi, Kenya, and is easily accessible to both locals and foreigners in the country
  • Piercer’s Expertise: Experienced and highly skilled piercers may charge more for their services compared to newer or less experienced piercers.
  • Quality of Jewelry: The type and quality of jewelry used for the piercing can affect the overall cost. Higher-quality jewelry made from materials like surgical-grade stainless steel, titanium, or gold may come with a higher price tag compared to standard jewelry options.
  • Additional Services: Some piercing studios may offer additional services, such as consultation fees, aftercare products, or follow-up appointments, which could add to the overall cost.

Your nose piercing price will be dependant on your piercer’s rates and type nose piercing you’ll be getting, though the jewelry is a separate cost. Read reviews to choose a reputable piercer in a studio that is “hygienic and clean,” When you visit Rebel Inks Tattoo Kenya we have some protocols to follow when it comes to body modification procedures, which can be found on our websites Terms of Service, otherwise you can Contact Us for any inquiries.

Possible side effects of Nose-piercing

During the consultation phase of your session, those with reactive or sensitive skin should discuss their concerns with their body modification artist. It is vital to avoid softer metals because they might rub off on skin and deposit minute particles that color it, increasing the chance of an allergic reaction. Choosing a piercing made from more inert materials can lessen the likelihood of a reaction. A good idea is to pick body jewelry that can be removed with ease if necessary.

Potential Risks and Complications:
  • Infection is a common risk with any piercing. Look out for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, pain, or discharge, and consult with a healthcare professional if you suspect an infection.
  • Allergic reactions to jewelry materials can occur. If you experience persistent itching, redness, or discomfort, consult with your piercer and consider hypoallergenic jewelry options.
  • Nose piercings can migrate or reject, where the body pushes the jewelry out of the piercing hole. This is more common with certain jewelry types and materials.

I recently visited Rebel Inks, having had a thorough conversation with Eric before hand for a professional nipple piercing, and I can’t recommend them enough! From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcome. The studio was spotless, with a modern and hygienic setup that immediately put me at ease. The piercing artist was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain the process thoroughly, answering all my questions with patience and professionalism. Their expertise was evident, and their steady hand made the piercing quick and virtually painless. What impressed me the most was their ethical approach to body piercing. They emphasized safety, sterilization, and proper aftercare, ensuring I left feeling confident about my decision and equipped to care for my new piercing. The entire team truly goes above and beyond to prioritize their clients’ comfort and well-being. If you’re looking for skilled, compassionate, and professional piercers, Rebel Inks Kenya is the place to go.

I went to Rebel Inks unsure and scared of getting my second lobe piercings but it's one of the best decisions I've made this year. The whole process was smooth, painless and the results so far are 100% satisfying because one, Eric was incredibly professional. He took the time to explain the whole process, answered every question that I had and listened to my preferences. He was patient and ensured that I was comfortable throughout.Two, all the equipments he used for the piercings were new and/or sterilised.Three, the parlour itself was very clean and was up to par with the hygiene standards.Four, Eric provided effective aftercare instructions, making sure I knew exactly how to take care of my new piercings and he kept in touch and continues to do so, to check on the healing progress.I highly highly highly recommend this place!!!

Fantastic experience - Eric worked skilfully and patiently to nail the vision of our anniversary tattoo design. It was my partner's first tattoo and she was made to feel very comfortable throughout the process, with no pressure around time to get it just right. Also checked in with us to make sure we were taking care of the new tatts properly. Great people, thoroughly recommended 👍

I got my first tattoo here and it was a great experience! He did a great job working with me to make a design I loved and paid a lot of attention to details. The tattoo came out amazing and he made sure to follow up to monitor the healing process. Great place to get a permanent memory of Nairobi!

Great experience, the artist listens and is really diligent. The hygiene and equipment are top notch! Sterilization of equipment and single-use needles. After the tattoo the artist remains in contact with you to follow the progress of the healing of the tattoo and advises you on the products suitable for your tattoos.I highly recommend.

I found Eric’s piercing servicing professional. He asked and listened thoroughly what I exactly requested, then we agreed on the piercing (upper-helix) and procedure. It started with explaining step by step how he would set the piercing and then undertook the work with uttermost detail. I am very happy with the result and also appreciate Eric’s aftersales support and health check-ins.

I cannot say enough about Eric and the experience he gave me. First of all, he fit me in when I was running short on time and helped me to find his shop. I just wanted a meaningful word tattooed and promised it would be small and quick. When I didn't love the fonts we came across, he free-handed a stunning font. He made sure the placement was perfect and checked in with me and we decided to just leave it as the outline without filling it all in and even with the change of plans the line work was perfection. Eric also charged me half of what I was quoted several other places even after he drew the design himself on the spot. It was the best overall experience I've had in a tattoo shop. I cannot speak highly enough of Eric's care for clients, artistic skill, or fairness in operating his business.

Me and my 3 friends all got ear piercings. Two of us got the conch, one got the upper cartilage, the other got her second holes. He was very professional, clean, accurate, and caring. All 4 of our piercings have healed great and he has been so kind to reach out and care about the aftercare of our piercings. If I lived in Nairobi, I would get all my piercings here! 100% would recommend him to anyone. The titanium jewelry is great quality as well.

My experience at Rebel Inks was exceptional. It was my first time getting a piercing, and I was understandably nervous. However, Eric, the piercer, was reassuring and professional. He explained the earlobe piercing process in detail and answered all of my questions before beginning.I was particularly impressed with Eric's attention to hygiene. He thoroughly cleaned the room before I entered, sanitized all of the equipment he would be using, and changed gloves between each ear. This level of cleanliness gave me great confidence in his professionalism.Eric's commitment to customer service did not end on the day of the piercing. He followed up with me regularly throughout the healing process to ensure that I was following the aftercare instructions and that my earlobes were healing properly.I highly recommend Rebel Inks to anyone in Nairobi who is considering getting a piercing. Eric is a highly skilled and experienced piercer who takes great pride in his work.

I got my belly button piercing from Eric. I have had 2 piercings done before and I've never received service as good as his. He explained the piercing and after care processes in detail and was very patient with my many questions...I'm considering paying him school fees 😂. His hygiene standards are very high and he used a disposable sterilized needle. He followed up on my healing progress weekly...I felt like we were healing together 😅. I wish it was possible to give 10 stars. I'm definitely having my future piercings done with him and I'm recommending him to all my friends 😃

He also explained me the healing process and the complications which was actually great to know as most places do not care to talk about the work in so much detail.The place is neat and clean and the equipments he used were also fine standards. Really appreciate his following up with me on the healing 🤗

I first went through their website to engage more on their services. I was particularly interested in the nose ring service. The communication from the day I made an appointment was very professional as well as the services offered. Eric explained in great detail the step by step procedure and was very patient with our questions. He administered effective hygiene and even let my friend record a video of the procedure. The after care followup is also great as Eric keeps checking up on the healing process on a weekly basis as well as giving additional guidance on the after care.I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEIR SERVICES to everyone. Actually what you see on their website is EXACTLY what you will get. Keep up the good work Rebel inks Tattoos.

I went to Eric for the first time to get help with an earring infection I couldn’t get rid of for months. I quickly got an appointment. He took time to listen to my concerns and previous treatments. He then recommended we try a different approach, changing the piercing and treating it as it was fresh. He gave great advise on how to clean and which care products to use. Throughout the whole session he was very friendly, considerate and knowledgeable. The weeks after he was checking in on how the piercing was doing.The infection is now gone. I would definitely recommend!

He took his time to clean up after and we had a nice talk, too with many helpful information on cleaning and sanitizing the new Piercings. Even after we were done there was a weekly follow up on our healing process.Can recommend this place totally and would go back there anytime!Thanks!

I was so pleased with the service I got. I received a septum piercing from Eric and based on my experience with him, I wouldn't trust anyone else with any other piercings that I might get. He's very sanitary and walks you through the entire process making you feel comfortable and at ease. He also follows up on his clients concerning after care and is very easy to talk to. I would definitely refer anyone looking for to get a piercing, tattoo or tattoo removal here!
