The Top Nose Piercing Trends of 2024
The Top Nose Piercing Trends of 2024
As 2023 has come to a close, it’s time to look toward 2024. What new adventures await? Which trends will emerge? Which will stay the same?
When it comes to piercing trends, there’s one thing for certain: nose piercings are here to stay. Popular nose piercings, including septum and nostril piercings, have been some of the defining piercing trends of the 2020s.
A stunning, elaborately designed piece of septum piercing jewellery or a sleek, understated nostril hoop both serve their purposes to elevate any style. Because of this, nose piercings are seen in fashion shows and red carpets alike.
But, the acceptance of nose piercings in mainstream fashion comes with its caveats. While they are now widely welcomed—even in some conservative settings like many workplaces—those seeking a more individual look may be dismayed at widespread nose piercing trends. If everyone has a nose piercing, their piercing might not feel as special.
Luckily, there are many types of nose piercings to choose from. So, whether your clients are looking for nose piercing trends or crave a more distinctive look, we’ve got plenty of different nose piercings to love in 2024.
Nostril Piercing
Of course, we have to start with the classic nostril piercing. The nostril allows for many different nose piercings. This makes it an ideal piercing location for both trend-seekers and those looking to break the mould.
Even if your client goes with a standard nose piercing placement, a vast array of nose piercing jewellery is available so that your clients can make their piercings their own, proving that just because certain nose piercing types are popular doesn’t mean they can’t be unique.
Here are some nose piercing trends in 2024 for the nostril to look out for:
- Double nostril piercing: As the name implies, the double nostril piercing consists of two nostril piercings in the same nostril. These can then be decorated with two hoops, two studs, or a hoop and a stud. This style is perfect for those who want something a little different but still mainstream.
- Symmetrical nostril piercing: Symmetrical nostril piercings are made by piercing each nostril. Often paired with a septum piercing, symmetrical nostril piercings add a little something extra to any facial piercing look.
- Nostril hoops: Nostril piercings filled with hoops can offer a bit of a bolder aesthetic, especially if your customers choose styles like horseshoes or ball closure rings that feature ball attachments. We have a wide range of nostril hoops, from sleek and minimal seamless rings to gorgeous gemstone hoops.
- Nostril studs: Stud nose jewellery can be dainty and subtle or bold and beautiful. There are so many nostril stud styles to choose from, from teeny gemstones to gorgeous butterflies. Because this is such a popular nose piercing type, we have a huge range of nostril studs, including bone, bend-to-fit, and L-shape or screw posts.
- Threadless jewellery: For those who struggle with tiny threaded jewellery pieces, we have plenty of threadless nostril piercing options to choose from. These include threadless labrets and horseshoes. Threadless labrets are ideal for those who want something a little more secure than a standard nostril stud, as they include a backing that snaps into place.
Septum Piercing
Of all the alternative types of nose piercings, septum piercings have emerged as the fan favourite. In the past, it was relegated to underground styles. Today, it’s a key feature of high fashion.
Septum piercings appear in the “sweet spot” of the nose septum. If you pinch your nose, you should feel a super-thin flap of skin between the septum cartilage and the nose cartilage. That’s where the septum piercing goes.
Septum piercing jewellery includes various hoops, including seamless rings, horseshoes, ball closure rings, and clickers designed specifically for septums. Because it can take such a wide variety of hoop styles, it suits a range of tastes. Those who prefer their piercings to stand out can enjoy elaborate septum hoops, while those who want to be a little subtler can find flush-fitting seamless rings.
We also offer threadless jewellery options for something that’s a little easier to insert. With threadless horseshoes, all you have to do is firmly push the ball into place rather than screwing it in. This can be especially useful for those who struggle with tiny threaded ball ends.
A considerable benefit of a septum piercing is that, once healed, it’s easy to hide. All the wearer needs to do is flip a dainty piece of horseshoe jewellery up into their nose, and the piercing disappears. This makes it an ideal piercing choice for customers who want an alternative look but hold a more conservative job position.
High Nostril Piercing
If clients are looking for different nose piercings that aren’t too out there, consider recommending the high nostril piercing. This type of nose piercing only began gaining popularity a few years ago.
Consisting of a nostril piercing placed slightly higher than a standard nostril piercing, a high nostril piercing is often paired with different types of nose piercings to create a distinctive look.
While it can only accept nose studs, high nostril piercings still have plenty of room for creativity. Careful placement combined with one or two standard nostril piercings results in a beautiful cultivated look akin to modern cultivated cartilage looks. Or, symmetrical high nostril piercings can be connected with a dainty chain for something extra.
Whether your client wants to elevate their current nose piercing look or want something slightly different than popular nose piercings, the high nostril piercing might be the look they’re seeking.
Bridge Piercing
Bridge piercings are types of nose piercings that only recently became well-known. It goes through the skin at the bridge of the nose and is filled with a curved barbell, with the ball ends peeking out at either side. This daring look can be elevated with cubic zirconia or colourful acrylic ends, whatever matches your client’s aesthetic.
A surface piercing carries a higher rejection rate, so be extra careful to ensure that you place the piercing correctly, and make sure to impart the risks with this type of piercing.
Honourable mention: The rhino piercing
Although the rhino piercing is not among the ranks of popular nose piercings, it offers an incredibly unique look that is gaining in popularity, so it bears mentioning.
Only suitable for those serious about their facial piercing look, this style pierces the tip of the nose, with an entry point at the top of the nose and an exit point at the bottom between the septum, like a rhino’s horn. It’s filled with a curved barbell, with the end attachments sitting at the top and bottom of the nose.
Because it’s such a novel piercing, it stands out, whether on its own or with other types of nose piercings. Bold end attachments, like flowers or cubic zirconia gemstones, will take that extra step to make it truly stand out.
It’s important to note that because this is such a bold style, it can affect employability. Therefore, those in certain professions should be advised toward a different nose piercing style.
In 2024, nose piercings will remain a body piercing staple. But that doesn’t mean all your clients must get the same nose piercing type. There are tons of popular nose piercing styles to choose from. And, once your clients get that nose piercing they’ve been dreaming of, they can find the nose jewellery they’ve been dreaming of, too. You’ll find it here in our wholesale shop!
