One of the hottest piercings for now is septum – it seems like everybody’s rocking it. How to care for it? How to style? With what piercings to pair? Let’s find out more about this trendy gem and how to rock it right!
A septum piercing is just what it sounds like—a piercing that’s located at your septum, a part of the nose. Your septum is a thin wall of cartilage that runs down the center of your nose, separating your right and left nostrils. A septum piercing, however, shouldn’t penetrate the cartilage. It should go through the softer space of tissue just below the septum. Your piercing will feel significantly better after eight weeks, but it takes about four to six months for most of the healing to take place.

As for aftercare, saline-soak twice per day; dry the skin after; no picking, playing, or twisting the piercing, and try not to knock it. Your skincare routine should also be modified during the aftercare process. When cleansing or moisturizing the skin near the nasal septum, minimize the use of soap or moisturizer in close proximity to the piercing. You really want to avoid contact with things like soaps and creams or moisturizers that could migrate into the piercing. There’s no need to worry about switching up your skincare routine once the piercing has healed.

What jewelry can you wear in your septum? Septum clicker are hoops feature a hinged closure that springs open and clicks shut for easy insertion and removal. Closed hoops often have different stones and decorative elements on the outer edge, making them great for customization. Circular barbell jewelry fits neatly into a septum piercing and allows you to do that easy flip-up trick to hide it without actually removing the jewelry.

While you can take a septum piercing out, as Fenton mentioned, you should wait at least a year to change the jewelry. You may want to see your piercer again for the first swap. One advantage of a septum piercing is that with the right jewelry (usually a circular barbell) it can easily be hidden by simply turning the jewelry upside down. Now you know everything, just take a look at the ideas and decide what you like more – a barbell or a clicker?
