Titanium Nose Stud

The titanium nose stud is the quiet essential of a nostril piercing: a slim curved post that follows the inside of the nose, a decorative top at the front, and an implant-grade titanium body that's safe from the very first day. A nose stud that looks discreet and stays comfortable, in a plain ball, a flat disc or a clear crystal.

It is machined from ASTM F136 titanium (grade 23) — nickel-free and cobalt-free, light and corrosion-resistant. The material piercers recommend for a fresh piercing and for sensitive skin, with a polished finish that keeps its shine. Prefer gold? The same stud comes in a gold PVD finish.

Where a nose ring can move and snag, the curved screw post sits flush: it doesn't spin out, doesn't catch on a towel, and stays neatly in place under make-up or on the pillow.

Four tops, one nose stud

The same curved post comes with four fronts, so you can match your look without changing the piercing's fit:

• Prong-set crystal — a little sparkle raised on fine claws.
• Polished ball — the clean, classic nostril dot.
• Flat disc — minimal and flush to the skin.
• Bezel-set crystal — a clear crystal held low in a smooth rim.

Choosing your gauge and length

This nose stud is 0.8 mm (20G), the standard nostril gauge, with a 7 mm curved post and a 2 mm top. Keep to the gauge your piercer set — forcing a thicker post hurts the piercing. Not sure of your size? Our gauge and size guide explains it simply.
