Everyone from Zendaya to Zoe Kravitz has rocked either a fake or legitimate septum ring, and that number is only going to rise as the months go on. With that in mind, read below for our quick fire run-through on all things septum-related including septum piercing placement, the cost of septum piercing and the aftercare involved.
A septum piercing is a piercing that goes through your nasal septum, a. The needle goes through the thin bit of flesh towards the front of the nose, and then the jewellery is put in place — normally a ring, a horseshoe or, less commonly, a bar. Many refer to a bull nose piercing when a hoop shaped piece of jewellery is used, so you might have heard of that too.
Most piercings can be uncomfortable. After all, a needle is pushed through your skin, which is then replaced with a thick bit of metal. We asked Becca of LibFemBlog , piercing connoisseur who has had her septum pierced four times, and she said: 'Compared to some piercings I've had it wasn't too bad at all, probably less painful than your standard nose piercing.
As long as you go to a good piercer, they'll get the soft spot right in the centre. Septum piercings are a lot like most piercings, and there can be some variation in method. Usually, however, your piercer will clean the area intended to be pierced before using a small clamp to hold the septum. They will then pass a cannula a hollow needle attached to a tube through your nose, before putting the jewellery through the new hole.
After the jewellery is secured usually a horseshoe shaped bar the piercing is complete. When it comes to septum piercing placement, an experienced piercer should go through your 'sweet spot' — the area of flesh between your cartilage and the front of your nose. You should try and leave it as long as possible, though.
As with all piercings try to leave it alone, and clean your piercing with saltwater daily. There are good saline solution sprays out there too, which work better with all nose piercings due to the placement. Becca's top tip, weirdly enough, is to 'soak the tip of your nose in lightly salted water' which she says feels weird but does the trick. A small amount of white discharge is completely normal, but if you notice any yellow or green pus, your piercing may be infected.
However, your piercer should give you all the necessary aftercare information, and if you have any worries at all you can return to them to get the piercing looked at. If the smell is combined with pain, yellow pus, or blood, you might have a problem. Otherwise, that smell is the scent of dead skin cell build-up, and your body trying to heal itself.
Keeping the piercing clean and switching to wood or glass jewellery in due time should help to limit the smell, though. After waiting for around weeks yes, really you might be thinking about changing your septum jewellery, maybe you're swapping from a horseshoe style piece of jewellery to a hoop that many associate with the bull nose piercing look. If you plan to stretch your septum piercing, make sure you do it only once the piercing has healed, and make sure to thoroughly clean your hands before doing so.
