High Nostril

HIGH NOSTRIL PIERCING at Z-Edge Tattoo and Body Piercing

Looking for a professional high nostril piercing in Sarasota, Venice, Bradenton, or the Gulfgate area? Z-Edge Tattoo and Body Piercing performs precision high nostril piercings using implant-grade materials and sterilized, single-use needles.
High nostrils require advanced placement technique and careful jewelry selection. Our professional certified piercers focus on anatomical precision, symmetry, and long-term healing success.

Available at all Z-Edge locations.

High Nostril Placement & Symmetry

A high nostril piercing is placed higher on the nasal bridge area above a traditional nostril piercing.

Because of its elevated position:

• Angle and depth are critical
• Jewelry length must be carefully selected
• Swelling may be more noticeable initially
• Symmetry must be evaluated from multiple angles

High nostrils are commonly done as a symmetrical pair. Having both marked and pierced during the same appointment allows for balanced placement and matched needle angles.

If you are unsure about placement height, stacking with an existing nostril, or visual alignment, discuss your goals with your piercer before marking. We encourage questions and professional guidance to ensure optimal healing and aesthetics.

High Nostril Jewelry Options

High nostrils are pierced with flat-back labret jewelry for stability during healing.

At Z-Edge, there is no “starter” jewelry. All jewelry we carry is high-quality body jewelry designed to be worn long term.

We offer:

• Internally threaded implant-grade titanium
  
• Threadless implant-grade titanium
  
• Solid 14k gold
  
• CZ stones
  
• Natural stones
  
• Lab-created gemstones
• Genuine diamonds
  
• Prong-set designs
  
• Bezel-set designs
• Micro labrets (flat backs)

All jewelry is nickel-free.
No stainless steel.
No externally threaded jewelry.

Hinge rings are not recommended as initial jewelry for high nostrils due to placement height and healing considerations.

Size & Gauge

• Standard starting gauge: 18g or 16g

• Jewelry length intentionally longer to allow for swelling

We always pierce with longer jewelry initially to accommodate swelling and reduce pressure during healing.

High Nostril Piercing Pricing

The high nostril piercing fee is $40.

The piercing fee includes:

• Precision placement and marking

• A sterilized, single-use needle piercing performed by a professional certified piercer

• Personalized consultation

• Detailed aftercare guidance

Jewelry is sold separately.

Starting jewelry begins at $35 for an implant-grade titanium micro labret with a CZ stone.

Upgraded jewelry options such as 14k gold, natural stones, lab-created gemstones, and genuine diamonds are available at additional cost.

Downsizing

We recommend returning for downsizing at approximately 6–8 weeks, once swelling and tenderness have resolved.

Downsizing:

• Reduces irritation

• Improves comfort

• Prevents migration

• Supports long-term healing

If you are not local, we sell jewelry and jewelry-changing tools on our website.

Just because a piercing feels healed does not mean it should be left without jewelry for extended periods. High nostrils can shrink quickly.
