Collection: Black Nose Studs

Black nose studs deliver a bold, contemporary look for nostril piercings. Every black nose stud at Camden Body Jewellery is made from implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136) with a PVD black coating — giving you a striking matte or polished black finish with the full safety of medical-grade, nickel-free titanium underneath. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) bonds the black colour at a molecular level, meaning it will not chip, scratch, fade or cause irritation even with constant wear inside the nostril.

This collection includes black nose studs in a range of designs: polished black balls, flat discs, CZ gem-set studs with black settings for a monochrome look, and decorative shapes. Stud types include internally threaded labret bars with smooth posts for comfortable insertion, threadless push-pin studs and L-shaped nose studs. Available in 20G (0.8mm) and 18G (1.0mm) gauges.

Black nose studs are particularly striking against lighter skin tones but suit every complexion — the dark finish creates a defined, intentional look that stands out without being overly flashy. The flat-back labret design sits flush inside the nostril for all-day comfort, while the PVD-coated front faces outward with a clean, bold aesthetic. Black titanium pairs well with black ear jewellery for a coordinated monochrome piercing look.

Care

Clean with sterile saline spray during healing. The PVD black finish is durable and waterproof — it will not discolour from moisture, sweat or cleaning products. Once healed, swap between black studs and other colours freely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does black PVD coating wear off nose studs?
No. PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) bonds the black colour at a molecular level to the titanium surface. Unlike black plating, which can chip within weeks, PVD is permanent under normal wear conditions.

Are black nose studs safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. The black colour is a PVD coating over implant-grade titanium (ASTM F136), which is completely nickel-free and biocompatible. The coating itself does not contain any irritants.
