If you’ve ever looked at nose piercings and thought, “what else is there to pierce besides the nostril and septum ?”—meet the nasallang piercing. This unique and bold facial piercing connects both nostrils and the septum. But before you commit (or just feed your curiosity), let’s dive into what it is, how it’s done, and what you need to know to take care of one.
What Is a Nasallang Piercing?
A nasallang piercing is a horizontal nose piercing that passes through three points in a straight line: the left nostril, the septum, and the right nostril. It gives the appearance of two nostril piercings, but it’s actually a single barbell that goes straight through all three areas. Think of it as a nostril-septum-nostril combo—done all at once.
It’s considered an advanced piercing due to its anatomy, alignment requirements, and healing process, and is most often performed by highly experienced piercers.
Where Does the Jewelry Sit?
When worn, the jewelry appears like a bar running straight across the nose, with visible ends on both nostrils. The septum portion is typically pierced through the cartilage wall for proper alignment.
Depending on your anatomy, the piercer might go slightly higher or further back to create a perfectly straight path.
What Kind of Jewelry Does a Nasallang Piercing Use?
Nasallang piercings will always start with a straight barbell. Jewelry size will vary by anatomy, but will typically be at least14g or larger with a length that accommodates initial swelling.
Does It Hurt?
Let’s be real: yes, it’s way more uncomfortable than a standard nostril or septum piercing. You’re piercing through three parts of your nose in one shot, which involves more tissue and more sensation.
Healing Time and Aftercare
Nasallangs are a difficult piercing and can take up to a year to heal.
Final Thoughts: Is a Nasallang Piercing Right for You?
The nasallang is a bold, badass piercing for those who want something unique, symmetrical, and edgy. It’s a commitment—but for the right person, it can be an incredible addition to your look. If you’re looking for an extreme and rare piercing to add to your collection, a nasallang might be your next body modification.
