Piercing and titanium jewellery in Barcelona
We pierce with sterile single-use needles and only with implant-grade titanium jewellery. You choose the piece from our display and we follow up until it heals. We also sell jewellery on its own, even if you were not pierced here.
Why only implant-grade titanium
Your first piece of jewellery spends months inside a healing wound, so the material matters as much as the piercing itself. That is why we only work with implant-grade titanium, the alloy certified for medical implants (ASTM F136 standard).
It contains no nickel, the most common cause of piercing reactions, and it does not tarnish or change colour. It is also light and mirror-polished: it weighs less on the ear and the smooth surface does not irritate the channel.
It is the material we recommend both for a new piercing and for changing the jewellery in a healed one.

What happens on the day
-
Choose the spot and the jewellery
We check your anatomy to confirm the placement works, and you pick the jewellery from what we have in the studio.
-
Preparation
We disinfect the area and mark the exact point. You check it in the mirror before we go on.
-
Needle piercing
With a sterile single-use needle, never a gun. It takes a few seconds.
-
Aftercare and check-up
We explain the aftercare and book a check-up to review the jewellery and swap the bar once the swelling goes down.
Titanium jewellery for your piercing
We sell every kind of implant-grade titanium jewellery. Choose it from our display and we fit it in the studio, whether we pierce you here or you already have the piercing.
-
Rings and clickers
Lobe, helix, daith, septum, lip
Hinged rings that open and close with a click, plain or detailed.
-
Internally threaded labrets
Tragus, conch, helix, nostril, lip
A bar with a flat back that does not rub or snag. The thread sits inside, so it does not scrape the channel.
-
Push-pin (threadless) labrets
Same placements as labrets
The top is held by tension. The easiest system for swapping tops without tools.
-
Interchangeable tops
For internally threaded and push-pin labrets
Balls, discs, stones and shapes to change the look without changing the bar.
-
Barbells and curved bars
Industrial, navel, rook
Straight or curved bars in different lengths and gauges.
-
Circular barbells and horseshoes
Septum, daith, helix
They can be flipped up and are easy to wear day to day.

Piercing aftercare
- Clean the area twice a day with saline solution and dry it with clean gauze.
- Do not twist or move the jewellery, and only touch it with clean hands.
- Avoid pools, the sea, saunas and baths for the first four weeks.
- For ear piercings, do not sleep on that side while it heals.
- Come back for the check-up: switching to a shorter bar once the swelling drops prevents rubbing and bumps.
If you notice severe pain, heat or pus from day three on, see your doctor and let us know.
Piercing and jewellery questions
What is implant-grade titanium?
It is a titanium alloy certified for medical implants (ASTM F136 standard). It is light, strong, does not tarnish and contains no nickel, the most common cause of piercing reactions.
Can I buy jewellery if I was not pierced at NODO?
Yes. We sell jewellery to anyone. If you like, we measure your piercing to choose the right length and gauge and fit it for you in the studio.
Is it suitable if I am allergic to nickel?
Implant-grade titanium contains no nickel, which is why it is the usual choice for sensitive skin. If you have a diagnosed allergy, check with your doctor as well.
Do you use a piercing gun?
No. We always pierce with a sterile single-use needle: it makes a clean channel, causes less tissue damage and heals better than a gun.
Do I need an appointment for a piercing?
We recommend booking on WhatsApp to secure a slot and the jewellery you want. If there is availability, we can also see you the same day.
Can I get pierced if I am under 18?
Yes, with signed consent from your parent or legal guardian, who must come with you to the appointment with their ID.
Can I change the jewellery myself?
Better not until it has healed. We do the first check-up and change in the studio; after that you can pick another titanium piece from our display and we fit it for you.
Which piercing do you have in mind?
Tell us the placement and, if you like, a photo of the jewellery you want. We reply with price and availability.
