Nose Piercing in Istanbul
Nose piercing at NEXA: Nostril, Septum, High nostril, Bridge placements, implant-grade titanium jewellery and a healing plan you can actually follow — in Maltepe, on the Anatolian side of Istanbul.
Definition
What is a nose piercing?
Nose piercing covers nostril, septum and bridge placements, each with its own jewellery and healing time.
Nostril, septum and bridge placements each follow a different anatomy. We read the curve of the nostril or the sweet spot of the septum, then fit an implant-grade titanium stud, L-bend or clicker that sits flush and heals cleanly.

Your piercer
Pierced by Emir Çankaya
All piercings at NEXA are performed by Emir Çankaya, who plans the placement around your anatomy, uses single-use needles and fits implant-grade titanium jewellery at the correct length for swelling.
You can send a healing photo at any point during the first months; downsizing the jewellery after the swelling settles is part of the service.
