Large Nostrils

Although nostril peircings can be stretched, as with any cartilage area, initially piercing at a higher gauge is highly recommended for those that want them thicker.

The tissue is usually excised using a biopsy (dermal) punch and the slightly larger jewellery inserted. They can be difficult to heal and are prone to small amounts of hypertropic scar tissue, minimising irritation and bumps during healing will help to reduce this from occurring.

Generally done in pairs, they can even be stretched further to give a very unique appearance.

Pain level: Medium-High
Healing Time: 8-16 weeks
Initial Jewellery: Single flared plugs (glass or titanium)
Time before Stretching: 4 months

Eyebrow

Eyebrow piercings are a very easy one to get as there are very few nerve endings in the tissue and can be easy to heal if irritation is minimized for the first couple months. They can bring a tear to your eye during the piercing, similar to plucking out a hair.

They can suffer from migration as they slowly move shallower through the skin an Reducing irritation and bumping, even when healed, is crucial to the longevity of an eyebrow piercing.
