Why Choose a Professional Studio Over a High Street Piercing?
There's a big difference between getting pierced at a jewellery chain and coming to a dedicated piercing studio. At Moonchild, we use single-use sterile needles and implant-grade titanium jewellery as standard. No reused equipment, no low-grade metals, no shortcuts.
High street piercing guns are particularly problematic for nose piercings. A gun cannot be fully sterilised, and the blunt force causes tissue trauma that leads to longer healing times and a higher risk of infection and scarring. A sterile needle creates a clean, precise hole that heals properly.
What to Expect at Your Appointment
When you arrive, Keren will talk you through everything before she picks up a needle. You'll discuss placement, jewellery options, and what to expect during and after. The piercing itself takes seconds. The care around it is what makes the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions — Nose Piercing Bristol
How much does a nose piercing cost in Bristol? - Pricing varies depending on the piercing type and jewellery chosen. Check our price list for current rates or contact us directly.
Does a nose piercing hurt? - Most people describe it as a quick sharp sensation and watery eyes. It's over in seconds. The nostril is one of the more manageable piercings in terms of discomfort.
What is the minimum age for a nose piercing at Moonchild? - We pierce clients aged 16 and over for nose piercings. Under 18s require a parent or guardian present and must provide ID.
How long does a nose piercing take to heal? - A standard nostril piercing takes 4 to 6 months. High nostrils and bridge piercings take longer, typically 6 to 9 months.
Can I change my nose ring myself after piercing? - We strongly advise against changing jewellery yourself until the piercing is fully healed. Come back to us for your first change and we'll make sure everything is healing correctly.
What jewellery is used for the initial nose piercing? - We use implant-grade titanium as standard. It's hypoallergenic, lightweight, and the safest option for a fresh piercing.
Do you do walk-in nose piercings? - We accommodate walk-ins when availability allows, but booking in advance is recommended to avoid waiting.
Can I bring my own jewellery to be pierced with? - We only pierce with jewellery we supply. This ensures everything is sterile, the correct gauge, and the right length for your anatomy.
