We believe that getting a nose piercing should be an exciting, informed experience. That's why we've dedicated ourselves to creating the most comprehensive, trustworthy resource for nose piercing enthusiasts across Australia.
Our Story
NosePiercing.au was born from a simple frustration: finding reliable, Australia-specific information about nose piercings was surprisingly difficult. When our founder, Sarah, got her first nostril piercing in Sydney back in 2019, she spent weeks researching aftercare routines, trying to understand the difference between 20G and 18G gauges, and figuring out which materials wouldn't irritate her sensitive skin.
The information she found was scattered across international forums, often contradictory, and rarely addressed the unique considerations for Australian buyers—like which online retailers actually ship to Australia, or how our climate affects the healing process. She realised there had to be a better way.
What started as a personal blog documenting her piercing journey quickly grew into something much bigger. Fellow piercing enthusiasts began reaching out, sharing their own experiences, asking questions, and contributing their knowledge. By 2024, we had assembled a small but passionate team of body modification enthusiasts, each bringing their own expertise to the table.
Today, NosePiercing.au serves thousands of Australians each month, providing everything from basic aftercare guides to in-depth material comparisons. We've tested dozens of products, consulted with professional piercers, and distilled years of collective experience into easy-to-understand content. Whether you're contemplating your first nostril stud or adding a septum ring to your collection, we're here to help you make informed decisions.
