Frequently Asked Questions
Nose piercing at Chill Ink starts from 900 TL for a nostril with standard titanium jewelry included. High nostril starts from 950 TL, septum from 1,000 TL, bridge from 1,150 TL and rhino from 1,700 TL. Premium or paired jewelry may change the total, which is confirmed before the procedure.
We offer nostril, high nostril, septum, bridge and rhino piercings. Each has different anatomy and jewelry requirements, so final suitability, angle and starter jewelry are assessed in person.
A nostril piercing commonly needs around 3–4 months or longer. It can look calm outside while the internal channel remains fragile, so continue the recommended care and ask your piercer before changing jewelry.
A properly placed septum commonly needs at least 6–8 weeks, although bodies and placements vary. Do not treat the minimum range as a guaranteed finish date; have the channel assessed before changing jewelry if it remains tender or irritated.
Sensation is personal and varies by placement. Most people describe a short sharp pressure and watering eyes can happen with nostril or septum work. Preparation and marking usually take longer than the needle pass, and you can ask to pause at any point.
Not every septum has the same suitable soft-tissue area. Your piercer assesses the tissue by touch and checks the angle in person. If the requested placement is not suitable, we explain why rather than forcing it through inappropriate tissue.
It depends on anatomy, placement, ring diameter and your routine. A suitable stud is often easier to protect during early nostril healing, while the hoop look can be planned for later. Your piercer will explain the appropriate starter options.
Sometimes. We assess symmetry, swelling room, your sleeping habits and how much healing you can manage. Paired nostrils or high nostrils may be planned together or in stages depending on anatomy and jewelry access.
They can. Bring or wear the glasses you use most so the placement can be checked against frames, nose pads and movement. Repeated contact or pressure can irritate a healing piercing, so some requested placements may need adjustment.
Timing depends on placement and how swelling settles. Do not shorten, swap or remove starter jewelry yourself. Ask for a fit check if the post catches often, feels tight, moves at an unusual angle or you want to change from a stud to a hoop.
Yes. Our Galata studio welcomes international visitors and provides clear aftercare guidance. Plan around flights, swimming, makeup, glasses, masks and ongoing cleaning because healing continues after you leave Istanbul.
