- Available in 18g (1.0mm) and 20g (0.8mm) gauges to match the two standard UK nostril piercing sizes
- Decorative options include crystal, gemstone, and opal tops for healed piercings; plain and low-profile styles available for a discreet finish
- Multipack and bundle options available for building a jewellery rotation across multiple styles or materials
- Suitable for healed nostril piercings; implant-grade titanium options intended to support wearers with metal sensitivity or those requiring lower-reactivity materials
| Specification | Options Available | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Materials | Implant-grade titanium, surgical steel, gold, bioflex | ASTM F136 for implant-grade titanium where applicable; surgical steel grade not specified in provided data |
| Gauge | 18g (1.0mm), 20g (0.8mm) | 18g is the most common UK professional standard for initial nostril piercings |
| Fit / Post Type | L-shaped, screw, bone/straight, flat-back labret | Screw studs are nostril-side specific (left/right) |
| Top Styles | Crystal, gemstone, opal, plain ball, flat disc | Decorative tops recommended for healed piercings only |
| Gold Specification | 9ct gold | Suitable for healed piercings; not recommended for healing tissue |
- Implant-grade titanium nose studs (ASTM F136 where applicable) are the material class most frequently used by professional piercers for initial and healing-stage jewellery
- Flat-back labret studs in implant-grade titanium are increasingly the professional standard for initial nostril piercings due to their stable, low-pressure backing against healing tissue
- Surgical steel nose studs are appropriate for use in healed piercings in clients without confirmed nickel sensitivity
- Bioflex options may be considered where flexibility is clinically beneficial — such as during healing from minor facial procedures or where rigid metal creates discomfort
- Gauge selection for professional studio sourcing: 18g (1.0mm) is the standard initial gauge for nostril piercings in most UK professional piercing contexts
- Multipack and bundle formats available — suitable for studios sourcing multiple units across styles or gauges
- Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is intended to support use in healing piercings due to its low-nickel composition and biocompatible properties — always verify grade specification before use in a healing piercing
- Surgical steel contains a small percentage of nickel; not recommended for individuals with a confirmed nickel sensitivity or allergy
- Gold nose studs (9ct) are not suitable for healing or unhealed piercings — gold alloys at lower karatages may contain nickel or other reactive metals; confirm alloy composition if sensitivity is a concern
- Decorative tops with stone settings (crystal, gemstone, opal) are intended for healed piercings only — settings can trap moisture and bacteria in healing tissue
- Do not attempt to insert a larger gauge post into a piercing of a smaller gauge — this will cause tissue trauma
- Consult a qualified professional piercer before changing jewellery in any piercing that has not fully healed
- "Hypoallergenic" is not a regulated claim — for confirmed sensitivity, prioritise implant-grade titanium with an anodised (not coated or plated) finish over materials labelled hypoallergenic without further specification

What gauge are nose studs in the UK?
The two standard gauges for nostril piercings in the UK are 18g (1.0mm) and 20g (0.8mm). Most professional UK piercers use 18g as the default for initial nostril piercings. If you are unsure of your gauge, check with the studio that performed your piercing before ordering replacement jewellery.
-
What is the difference between an L-shaped and a screw nose stud?
An L-shaped nose stud has a 90-degree bend in the post that sits against the inner nostril wall to hold it in place. A screw nose stud has a curved post that wraps around the inside of the nostril for a more secure hold. Screw studs are side-specific — a left-nostril screw will not seat correctly in a right nostril. L-shaped studs are easier to insert and are not side-specific, making them a more straightforward option if you are self-inserting.
-
What is the best nose stud for a new piercing?
For a new or healing nose piercing, implant-grade titanium is the recommended material — specifically ASTM F136 grade where available. A flat-back labret stud in implant-grade titanium is the format most commonly recommended by professional piercers for initial nostril jewellery, as the flat disc backing distributes pressure evenly against healing tissue. Decorative gemstone or gold options are not suitable for healing piercings. Always consult your piercer for jewellery recommendations specific to your anatomy and healing progress.
-
Is implant-grade titanium safe for nose piercings?
Implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) is considered one of the most suitable materials for body jewellery, including nose piercings, by professional piercing organisations including the Association of Professional Piercers (APP). It is low in nickel by alloy definition, lightweight, and can be anodised to produce colour without surface coatings that may degrade. It is appropriate for both healing and healed piercings for most people.
-
Can I wear a gold nose stud in a new piercing?
No. Gold nose studs — including 9ct gold nose stud options — are not suitable for healing or unhealed piercings. Lower-karat gold alloys can contain reactive metals, and the material is not recommended for healing tissue by professional piercing standards. Gold is appropriate for fully healed nostril piercings only.
-
What is the difference between a bone nose stud and a flat-back nose stud?
A bone nose stud has a straight post with a slightly enlarged ball end that holds it in place inside the nostril — it relies on that small resistance point to stay in, which makes it the least secure of the standard stud types. A flat-back labret has a flat disc on the inside of the nostril and a separate decorative top on the outside, held in place by threading or a push-pin mechanism. Flat-back labrets are more stable, more comfortable for extended wear, and are the preferred format for healing piercings.
-
Are surgical steel nose studs suitable for sensitive skin?
Surgical steel nose studs are suitable for most people with healed piercings. The alloy does contain a small percentage of nickel, but in a tightly bound form that limits migration under normal wear conditions. However, if you have a confirmed nickel allergy or sensitivity, surgical steel is not the recommended choice. Implant-grade titanium or bioflex nose studs are more appropriate options for individuals with known metal sensitivities.
-
What does a nose stud multipack include?
Nose stud multipacks and bundles vary by listing — they typically include multiple studs across different styles, colours, or gemstone types within the same gauge and fit type. Check individual product listings for exact contents. Multipacks are intended for healed piercings and are a cost-effective way to build a jewellery rotation without purchasing individual pieces separately.
