A nostril punch is an advanced body modification that involves the removal of a small circular area of tissue and cartilage from the side of the nose. This technique is used to achieve a large-gauge look—ranging from 10 Gauge up to 0 Gauge—immediately. Unlike a standard piercing that stretches the skin, a punch creates a permanent, clean opening that allows for high-impact jewelry like glass or stone plugs from the very first day.
Because the nostril contains both skin and rigid cartilage, this is a significant modification that requires exceptional technical skill and a sterile, clinical environment. It is a bold aesthetic choice for those looking to skip the years of stretching and achieve a "porthole" effect in their nasal anatomy.
By Consultation Only This service requires a mandatory in-person consultation. Mike will perform a thorough assessment of your nasal anatomy to ensure the area can safely support the removal of tissue at your desired gauge. During the consult, we will also discuss the permanent nature of this modification, jewelry selection, and the specific long-term aftercare required for healthy healing.
