Facial Piercing Jewellery
Facial piercings are often eye-catching thanks to their prominent position on the face. In recent decades, facial piercings have become more acceptable, particularly eyebrow piercings and nostril piercings, but it’s still unusual to have certain facial piercings such as cheeks and the bridge of your nose. Some places of work that involve handling food and maintaining strict sanitary conditions request that employees remove facial piercings. Almost all visible piercings aside from ear lobes are discouraged in schools. However, with clear retainer jewellery available it is possible to hide face piercings.
When getting a facial piercing, it’s important to note that almost all of these piercings should be performed with a needle, not a gun (with the exception of ear lobe). Nostril piercings can be pierced with a Studex System which is specifically designed for this purpose.
Some facial piercings, such as the ears and septum, can also be stretched to create a completely different look. Always consult with a piercer before you attempt to stretch your piercing and if you wish to get a less common facial piercing, always choose an experienced piercer to get the best results.
What is considered a facial piercing?

Here are some of the most common facial piercing combos:
- Septum and Medusa Piercing: The vertical alignment of these piercings give the perfect cute aesthetic.
- Septum and Vertical Labret Piercing: A similar concept to the Septum and Medusa, this piercing combo offers a vertical alignment that is pleasing on the eye.
- Tongue and Snake Bites: These evenly spaced piercings can look awesome with your Snake bites either side of your tongue piercing. This looks especially eye-catching with ring jewellery in the snake bites.
- Eyebrow and Nostril Piercing: Placing your eyebrow piercing and nose piercing on the same side can certainly draw attention and give an interesting alignment to your piercings.
- Bridge and Septum Piercing: Again, this is another combination that adds a vertical flow to the aesthetic of your face.
- Bridge and Angel Bites Piercing: The Angel Bites piercing features two studs to the upper lip which mirrors the two balls visible on the barbell of the bridge piercing.
- Eyebrow and Shark Bites: Get inspired by the 90s and combine an eyebrow piercing with some lip rings for the ultimate alt aesthetic.
- Smiley and Septum Piercing: Another style that fits into the symmetrical category. Mix this one up by wearing a septum clicker in your nose and circular barbell in your smiley piercing or go for a double circular barbell vibe.
- Dimple and Third Eye Piercing: Love to take things to the extreme? These two unusual body mods will let people know you are serious about your piercings.
With literally hundreds of combinations available why not get creative when planning out your dream piercings!

Facial Piercing Procedure
Make sure to check the relevant face piercing age restriction before coming to store. It can help to avoid any undue disappointment. In a Blue Banana studio, face piercing age restrictions vary between each piercing.
Once you’re all booked in, you will have some forms to fill out. A member of Blue Banana staff will go through the steps and can help you pick out jewellery. Then you can meet the piercer! They too will give you a quick consultation and briefing before discussing the nostril piercing location.
Each type of facial piercing requires a strict aftercare routine during the healing time. All piercings (excluding piercings inside the mouth) will need to be bathed gently with a saltwater solution or Tea Tree Oil, twice a day during the healing process. To find out the specific healing time for each piercing, check out our dedicated piercing pages for each individual piercing type.

All piercings (excluding piercings inside the mouth) will need to be bathed gently with a saltwater solution or Tea Tree Oil, twice a day during the healing process. To find out the specific healing time for each piercing, check out our dedicated piercing pages for each individual piercing type.
If your piercing is inside your mouth, you will need to swill a saltwater solution twice a day and use alcohol-free mouthwash after eating to clear away any food debris and maintain good oral hygiene.
Most types of lip piercing require both types of aftercare because they are inserted through the outside of the mouth and fastened on the inside of the mouth.
Some piercings such as tongue and lip piercings may swell significantly when first pierced. To compensate, your piercer is likely to pierce you with a long jewellery bar, which can be changed once the swelling subsides.
Once your piercing has healed you will be able to change your jewellery to either a new colour or in some cases to a ring. Here at Blue Banana, we stock hundreds of pieces of piercing jewellery so you can find the one that is perfect for you. It isn’t just the design of your face piercing jewellery that you will need to consider but also the material and size. With high-quality titanium body jewellery, you can be sure you are getting a piece of jewellery that will stand the test of time and keep your piercing comfortable.
