Pillar guide · Katelyn ColeFacial piercings live where you wash, apply sunscreen, and sleep on your side. Angle and jewelry length matter more than the trend photo you saved.
I mark nostril work at 90 degrees to tissue — not parallel to the face. Bridge and high nostril carry higher migration risk; I decline when anatomy cannot support a fair heal.
Keep makeup and SPF off fresh entries. Desert AC dries nasal crusties — saline mist, never picking.
Real facial piercing work from our studio — not stock photos. Starter length, swelling room, downsizing, and healed angles documented in Vegas.

Placement and angle marked for your anatomy — implant-grade starter jewelry sized for swelling.

Days 3–7: tenderness around nostril, eyebrow, or bridge — keep hands off and saline only.

Healed facial work — shorter posts and decorative ends once swelling is gone.

Downsize to a shorter post or swap ends once the fistula is stable — booked as a check-in, not a mall kiosk.

Starter jewelry sits long so tissue is not pulled inward — embedding happens when posts are too short too soon.

Work of Art Tattoo & Piercing is on E. Tropicana, minutes from the Strip. Walk-ins are welcome when the schedule allows; booking ahead is the best way to reserve time with Katelyn Cole for ear, facial, oral, and body piercing.

Client wanted a balanced constellation without crowding the helix. We measured anatomy, picked implant-grade titanium, and staged piercings so swelling on one side did not complicate the other.
