What is a Septum piercing?


A septum piercing is exactly what you get from the name, a piercing that's located at your septum, a part of the nose. The septum is a very thin wall of cartilage that runs down the center of your nose, separating the right and left sides of your nostrils. The artist pierces through the soft part of tissue just below the septum. Piercers are referred to as the sweet spot.


Also, while the septum is an easy part to pierce, but still hiring an experienced piercing artist is what you need, you can either pierce a septum freehand, using a receiving tube or popping some clamps onto the area, Noah says.

What are the Choices for jewelry for Septum piercing?


As per the professional piercer Noah, You should wait for your piercing to heal before you try to change the piercing. How much should you wait? Well, at least 6-8 months to change your jewelry and that too try and take assistance from your piercer. The Best thing that comes with septum piercing is that with the right jewelry, you can slay the look. However, you should look into the size of the jewelry as if you choose a piece of barbell jewelry, the balls on the ends could affect your ability to breathe through your nose. So make sure you choose the best jewelry. A septum retainer bypasses that issue, but it's not quite as attractive if visible. Different Types of Septum Jewelry

    Remember, it's important to consult with a professional piercer for accurate information and guidance specific to your piercing.

  • Why can’t I get my navel pierced?

    Why can’t I get my navel pierced?

    Technically, anyone can have the skin around their navel pierced, however, anatomically, not everyone is set up to heal a navel piercing.

    In order for a navel to heal properly it must have a good lip of skin above the navel (or in some cases, below) with space both behind and below the lip for the jewelry to sit without pressure. The lip of skin should be a flap (like an earlobe), with an obvious front and back to it and a defined edge between the two. Without a well-defined “lip” above the navel there is an increased chance for problems healing—including rejection. Likewise, attempting to pierce navels that do have a flap but do not have enough space behind them to allow jewelry to sit comfortably will generally result in a difficult and problematic healing process.


    This is why when clients come to the studio requesting a piercing, we will have a piercer take a look at their navel and discuss the viability of the piercing first. If you come to us requesting a navel piercing and we think your navel does not have a good chance of healing properly, we will often decline to pierce it. We do not want to take your money and condemn you to a year or so of discomfort and hassle when we know that, in the end, you probably won’t get what you want. If your navel is not a pierceable shape, that doesn’t mean you’re too fat, too thin, or deformed; it’s simply that your navel is not shaped in such a way that we think you can heal the piercing.
