What is a piercing filter?

A piercing filter adds jewellery to your own photo, such as a nose stud, septum ring or ear piercings, so you can see it before you book. Kenerate AI opens its image editor with a nose piercing instruction filled in; you add a clear photo, change the placement if you like, and your face and background stay the same.

Tips

Get a realistic piercing preview

Piercings are small details; these help.

  • Use a close, sharp photo of your face.

  • Say the side and spot: “stud on my right nostril”, “septum ring”.

  • Name the metal and size: “small gold hoop”, “tiny silver stud”.

  • For ears, use a photo with your hair tucked back.

  • Try one piercing at a time, then combine the ones you like.

  • Ask a professional piercer about placement and healing.

FAQ

Piercing Filter questions

How can I see what a nose piercing would look like on me?

Upload a clear, close photo of yourself to the piercing filter and press Create. Kenerate AI opens the image editor with a nose piercing already written into the prompt: a small silver stud on one nostril, same face and background. Change it to a hoop, a septum ring or the other side before you press Create, and compare a few versions.

Is the piercing filter free?

Yes, to start. A new Kenerate account gets free starter credits, which work on free-plan models such as Qwen Image 3.0, the default here. Seedream 5.0 Pro and Nano Banana 2 need a one-time credit pack rather than a subscription, and credits you buy never expire. Results download without a watermark.

Which piercings can I try with the piercing filter?

Any you can describe in a sentence: a nostril stud or hoop, septum ring, eyebrow bar, lip ring, or ear piercings such as a helix, tragus or a row of lobe studs. Name the side, the metal and the size, for example “small gold hoop on my right nostril”, and keep the line about your face and background so nothing else changes.

Link to this answer

Is the piercing preview accurate?

It shows how the jewellery could look on your face, not exactly where a piercer can place it. Your anatomy, healing and jewellery sizes decide the real placement, so take the preview to a professional piercer as a reference and ask what works for you. The filter changes only the photo, never anything about the piercing itself.

Can I use someone else's photo?

Only with their permission. A piercing preview still edits a real person's likeness, so use your own photo or one the person has agreed to, and share the result only with their consent. Never upload a photo of anyone under 18; the filter is for adults editing their own pictures. Kenerate's content rules apply to every edit.

In depth

Piercing Filter, explained

What works, what to avoid, and how to pick a model.

How the piercing filter works

The piercing filter is an instruction edit. Your photo and one sentence go to an image model's edit endpoint; the model draws the jewellery at the spot you name, with reflections and shadows matched to your photo's light, and leaves the rest of the picture alone.
