🦋 Septum Piercing: What You Need to Know

Bold, versatile, and endlessly cool.

The septum piercing—placed through the thin piece of skin between your nostrils—is one of the most popular and stylish facial piercings. It offers a wide range of jewelry options and can be hidden or shown off, making it perfect for people who want versatility and edge.

If you’re thinking about getting a septum piercing, here’s everything you should know from healing to care and risks.

📍 1. What Is a Septum Piercing?

The septum piercing goes through the columella — the soft tissue between the nostrils — rather than the cartilage or bone. This makes it a relatively quick piercing with moderate pain and often straightforward healing.

🕒 2. Healing Time and Care

• Healing usually takes 6 to 8 weeks, but it can take longer depending on aftercare and individual healing speed.

• Clean the piercing twice a day with sterile saline solution.

• Avoid touching or flipping the jewelry to prevent irritation or infection.

💎 3. Jewelry Options

• Common choices include captive bead rings (CBRs), circular barbells, and segment rings.

• Materials like implant-grade titanium, surgical steel, or gold are recommended to avoid allergic reactions.

• Septum retainers are popular for hiding the piercing when needed.

⚠️ 4. Risks and Considerations

• Swelling and soreness: Normal for a few days after piercing.

• Infection: Keep the area clean and avoid touching it with dirty hands.

• Migration: Less common with septum piercings but possible with improper jewelry or trauma.

• Bleeding: Some initial bleeding is normal due to the soft tissue location.

• Discomfort: Flipping the jewelry up or down can irritate the piercing if done too soon.

🧼 5. Aftercare Tips

• Clean with saline solution twice daily.

• Avoid swimming in pools, hot tubs, or natural bodies of water during healing.

• Avoid harsh chemicals or alcohol-based cleansers near the piercing.

• Be gentle when blowing your nose or wiping your face.

• Avoid unnecessary flipping or fiddling with the jewelry.

🖤 Final Thoughts

The septum piercing is a bold and versatile option that suits many personal styles. With proper placement, jewelry, and aftercare, it can heal well and become a standout feature of your look.
