Remember my post from here? I've been wanting to get my nose pierced since eons. The only reason I was resisting is not because I wasn't convinced of the idea but because of two reasons a) I was scared it may react badly and will leave a scar on my face. b) I was looking for the perfect place to get it done. I wanted a place where they do gun shot piercing and was hygienic,experienced and safe.
After asking a few people I shortlisted on these 3 places:
After asking a few people I shortlisted on these 3 places:
- Al's at Bandra - This is the place where I got my tattoo done. And was considering going there,but I got mixed reviews about this place for piercing
- Le Bijou at Bandra - Recommended by a friend. But this place is really tiny and, also my friend had gone there a long time ago hence was not sure how well do they do it now
- Cutis Clinic at Bandra - Recommended by an aunt who had gone there to fix her earlobe piercing. This place is a skin clinic and they have trained people on board, super hygienic and professional. Thus this was the place i decided to go to. Click on the name and you can see their website and some pictures of their clinic.
The experience
Having taken a prior appointment for me and a friend, the clinic sent me a message to confirm the same and a reminder on the day of the appointment. After arriving at the clinic, they seated us and asked us to fill a form , post which they took our profile pictures for their record.
They then escorted us to a room where they rested uson reclining chair. The doctor/skin expert came in and helped us decide the exact position on the nose where the piercng would take place with the help of a red marker. She then placed the tiny swarovski stud in the gun and shot it in my nose. I'll be honest here. I was dumb for a split second. It felt like a sudden THUD on the nose as if someone's hit you really hard on it. And there is after pain as well, which lasted for two days. But the expert was quite comforting and did try to console us saying it'll subside.
We were then each given an anti septic gel to apply on our nose for a week so there is no skin reaction to the piercing (I also regularly applied oil on the piercing to make the stud loose, on my mom's advice).

Overall I was quite satisfied with this place and would recommend it to anyone who wants to get piercing done.
Fees Charged: A little expensive compared to what other places charge- INR 2000 inclusive of the titanium swarovski nose stud.
